The people who take James Lindsay seriously either only still vaguely know of him because of his take down of leftist publications years back with fake studies, which is increasingly few, or it’s those who fall into his political camp and he attacks their enemies so they tolerate him.
The saddest though are the James Lindsay sycophants. They’re people who think they are on the right, but will obviously agree with something like “keep the immigrants, deport the racists.” Seeing as that’s the hill they’re dying on right now with this Ghanaian guy.
These people are very silly, with an odd mix of disaffected liberal, libertarian and milquetoast conservative beliefs, and who treat James Lindsay as a kind of prophet because he spouts philosophical jargon and over complicates things that they can’t actually understand, and so because they can’t understand what he’s saying, he must be a genius.
James Lindsay fans are the people which I specifically targeted with getting to read quotes from Americas founding, and over and over again, they disavowed them and reacted with vitriol as I repeated, often word for word, what the men they claimed to champion said.
So a James Lindsay fan is someone who will rabidly defend the constitution and attack everyone else as a woke right post liberal but if they read the words of the men who wrote it, they find they hate them.
