Serious Question

Think about the idiots who have been selling you on Robert Meuller's unquestionable integrity and character for the past three years.

Ask yourself:

How many of these mediocrities, poseurs, and middle-management types has so much as met the man?

How many have done more than met him -- like, actually known him in more than a rope-line shake-and-smile?

How many have read a book about him or largely about him?

How many know him well -- either as a friend or, better yet, work colleague?

I'd say almost none of them. With an exception here or there, like Andy McCarthy.

And yet they all vouched for him because they heard from other unaccomplished nobodies that he was a Solid Man, and those unaccomplished nobodies in turn heard it from yet other unaccomplished nobodies.

So here are all these unaccomplished nobodies repeating shit they heard from other unaccomplished nobodies in a gigantic pseudo-intellectual circle jerk in which no one ever questions "Why do we place all of our faith in this one man that not a one of us has so much as even met?"

And this happens without anyone asking questions because they've carefully excluded from their list-servs and Twitter Key Parties anyone who would be gauche enough to not go along with the game of Let's Pretend We're All Super-Important and Super-Connected and Just the Masters of the (Twitter) Universe and All of Us Know Everything From Reading Each Other's Pig-Ignorant Twitter Feeds.

And then a lot of these people then give me an extra special bonus laugh by questioning the psychology of religion, faith, and received dogma.

While stupidly parroting the same 94 IQ Wisdom they heard from other nobodies.

You mean, you're skeptical of wives' tales and folk wisdom being spread and repeated thoughtlessly by near-apes until it then becomes mere shibboleth marking one tribe from the next?

And then those shibboleths -- still never questioned from the first moment a moron uttered them with Twitter Conviction -- harden into stony dogma and soon after are shaped into a club to beat religious law into the unbelievers?

You mean to say you object to that sort of thing?

Oh. I couldn't tell. I honestly would not have guessed you were against that sort of tribal-sign-and-shibboleth-become-dogma, because, weirdest thing, you seem to really be into it yourself.

Well, just can't wait for that Hayes/Goldberg report to come out, so that AllahPundit can link it every single day.

And then David French can appear as a Very Special Guest on the Hayes/Goldberg podcast every third episode. Some of these will be cohosted by thrice-married Charlie Sykes, of course.

Noah Rothman will dutifully link each and every podcast saying "My incredibly talented friends Jonah and Steve just recorded another BRILLIANT podcast, a must listen!," and then the modern Woodward and Bernstein, the power-bottom-duo Mandel and Caruso, will commission BaseballCuck to write a gushing hype-piece about the Goldberg/Hayes newsletter: Can These Men Save Conservatism?

And the circle jerk just keeps going on on and on, one hiring the other, everyone quoting each other, throwing each other charity links and mercy recommendations, knowing that no one else will, and if they stop furiously linking each other every five minutes the whole rickety fascade will come crashing down.

It's a Inbred Ignorance Economy powered by only three things: mutual twitter masturbation, list-serv grooming, and generous subsidies from Pierre Omidyar.

I mean, I just can't get enough of Jake Tapper's Twitter Timeline refashioned into a dozen "conservative" news-sites.

Again: We can all read Jake Tapper's twitter timeline for free.

What the fuck is anyone paying you for?

Pro-tip: Real Clear Investigations has posted a lot of original reportage on the Russia Hoax. You might once in a while read news from a -- dare I suggest it? -- non-leftist-approved news source before pontificating authoritatively on Twitter.

Maybe if you stupid fucks read one thing that wasn't written by your list-serv butt buddies you wouldn't be shocked and surprised by stuff that everyone not cultivating your level of Aristocratic Ignorance has known or suspected for years.

Oh My Goodness, This Quote!
