You are extremely ill informed have you not seen the amount of body builders who are vegan. Do some research please.

Kathryn, first off, what Andreas said :-)

Secondly, I have spent over a decade researching diets across every shade of the spectrum, including veganism. I was a vegetarian for years and wound up with autoimmune diseases and crazy-high levels of inflammation. It wasn’t until I switched to a low-carb/high-fat (Paleo, then Primal/keto) approach that I was able to bring my inflammation levels down to very low risk and get my autoimmune issues under control.

After successfully reversing his diabetes through a low-carb/high-fat diet, my husband (also body-building at the time) was enticed by vegan evangelists like Dr. Neal Barnard (super-nice Mr. Rogers-like guy, just mistaken about the science) and John McDougall. He watched hundreds of interviews and lectures by vegan spokespersons, and I heard all of their arguments and cherry-picked research. He decided to give Dr. Barnard’s plan a try, and his diabetes returned with a vengeance, bringing his blood sugar levels to astronomical levels, and he got very ill as a result. Thankfully, it only took a few weeks of returning to a low-carb/high-fat diet to reverse his diabetes again, but we certainly won’t be harboring any illusions about the proposed health benefits of veganism again.

I used to consider leftism a sort of cognitive disorder, the symptoms of which include the inability to see reality, engage in rational thought or discussion, and an astonishing credulity, coupled with the irresistible compulsion to not only advertise one's gullibility, but to also compel everyone else to believe, or at least pretend they believe, the same nonsense.

After the last two years, however, I'm really starting to seriously entertain the possibility that at some point in the past, there was a genetic mutation that carved the leftists off into a hominid subspecies, resulting in a different brain structure.

I'm open to nomenclature, but my preference is to add to that coined by M.L. Mencken:

*Boobus americanus credulus.

Thoughts?

TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) is not a joke. It is a real phenomenon. My ex's photo is in dictionary next to the acronym. And no, nothing to do with being ex. That was years ago. We actually are on good terms. We can be discussing something totally unrelated to US politics. and he will suddenly start one of his barrages, "Trump lies all of the time, Trump lies all of the time......." until infinity. Totally *OT*. But he is a good soul, despite that.

I think the puritans and some other early American "settlers" were psychotic religious fanatics and they have passed their genetic and cultural capital down through generations, most prominently in New England, which never seems to grow tired of variations on witch burning. (Others like the quakers and German pacifists were mad chill.)

Exactly right.

The American left has always been completely insane and has not really changed over time.

I am about 25% into *A Conservative History of the American Left* by Daniel J. Flynn, 2008.

They've always been nuts, they are nuts now, and they will always be nuts.

The difference now is that they have gained power.

God help us.

I see your point but, assuming there is a possibility that the left is really comprised of one species of homo sapiens, you might be interested in Thomas Sowell's "A Conflict of Visions" for a thoughtful and very illuminating take on how the left and the right have formed opposing views throughout history.

Expand full comment
libertate's avatar

I've read several of Sowell's books, and that is in my library and in the queue.

At the moment I'm getting through *A Conservative History of the American Left* by Daniel J. Flynn, 2008.

He starts in the early 19th century and details how leftist nutjobs have been a permanent feature of the American political landscape.

Flynn does not go back further, but socialism has been with us since the very beginning, as per this article about the Plymouth colony and the first Thanksgiving myth:

https://mises.org/library/great-thanksgiving-hoax-1

“[A] . . . trait . . . which, in my eyes best describes socialists of all schools and shades, is a profound opposition to personal liberty and scorn for individual reason, a complete contempt for the individual. They unceasingly attempt to mutilate, curtail, to obstruct personal freedom in any and all ways. They hold that the State must not only act as the director of society, but must further be master of each man, and not only master, but keeper and trainer. For fear of allowing him to err, the State must place itself forever by his side, above him, around him better to guide him to maintain him, in a word, to confine him . . . to sum up what socialism is, I would say that it was simply a new system of serfdom.”

As the dearly departed Anthony Bourdain said in Kitchen Confidential, “Vegetarians, and their Hezbollah-like splinter faction, the vegans, are a persistent irritant to any chef worth a damn. To me, life without veal stock, pork fat, sausage, organ meat, demi-glace, or even stinky cheese is a life not worth living. Vegetarians are the enemy of everything good and decent in the human spirit, and an affront to all I stand for, the pure enjoyment of food.”

I couldn’t agree more. I think we can now add the “vocally vaccinated” as a Taliban-like splinter faction as well.

It’s very silly to segregate people based on vax status. It’s a fictive reality for these folks. They truly believe they are safe as long as the unvaccinated are not in their airspace, not realizing that they could easily catch it from their vaccinated bestie. They’ll wake up some day from their trance. It’s coming. Cheers, Ed.
