    American left is kinda nutty in that there are a lot of people siding with Blumenthal in the replies which I find insane. Some choice ones include a guy ridiculing Norton for calling Blumenthal’s turn right-wing. Some guy implying Norton is paid by Pfizer. Another one did not like how Norton covered the “freedom” convoy.

    They need to readsettlers.org.

    I could not care less if Norton stole money or intellectual property or whatever. It’s great if he did.

      Eh, Settlers is kinda a bad book, has been done better since 1979, and includes stuff you learn in history class in school anyway.

      The problem with the people supporting Blumenthal in the comments is that Twitter is filled with PatSocs and LaRouchites.

      So fuck 'em

        I liked settlers. It’s thesis was a little extreme, but I learned a lot of new stuff from it (probably because it’s old). Which parts did you learn in history class? In a way I don’t want patsocs to be able to group us in the Sakai stans, but I’d also like to promote it to spite them. Yes, there are better books now.
