hap0206, All speculative - likely all hogwash .. by Kunstler .. the name rang a bell ..
"Gosh, did not know about the Trump vs Clinton law suit -- hope you enjoy the commentary as much as I did "
Guessing Kunstler's is basically garbage. A quick look at him:
Reception
A 2020 article at NewGeography.com described one of Kunstler's essays in American Conservative as a "misanthropic, pessimistically aggressive Malthusian screed", and comments that Kunstler's "over the top act" shows him to be "survivalist masquerading as an urban geographer". The article points to Kunstler's growing appeal to conservatives due to the "overlap between libertarian conservatives and environmentalist zealots".[21]
In 2005, conservative writer Bill Kauffman called Kunstler the "scourge of suburbia," and a "slashingly witty Jeremiah."[22] In a 2008 review of Kunstler's weekly audio podcast, the Columbia Journalism Review described the KunstlerCast as offering "some of the smartest, most honest urban commentary around—online or off."[15] The Albany, New York, Times Union reviewed Kunstler's book World Made by Hand, writing that, "James Howard Kunstler is fiddling his way to the apocalypse, one jig at a time." The paper described the book's scenario as "grim", with "an upside or two."[23]
Critiquing The Long Emergency, journalist Chris Hayes claimed in 2010 that while Kunstler makes valid points about the consequences of peak oil, he undermines his credibility with rhetoric and perceived misanthropy.[24 .. https://chrishayes.org/articles/wise-fool/ ] Joseph Romm, a climate change expert and Senior Fellow at the Center for American Progress, stated that accelerating shifts toward renewable energy will maintain suburban lifestyles and that, contrary to Kunstler's arguments, "suburbia won’t be destroyed by peak oil."[25]
Charles Bensinger, co-founder of Renewable Energy Partners of New Mexico, describes Kunstler's views as "fashionably fear-mongering" and uninformed regarding the potential of renewable energy resources to eliminate the need for fossil fuels.[26] In 2005 David Ehrenfeld, writing for American Scientist, saw Kunstler delivering a "powerful integration of science, technology, economics, finance, international politics and social change" with a "lengthy discussion of the alternatives to cheap oil."[
And to your content -- Looks at present no more than a conservative effort to grab readers to welcoming people as you. It could be no more than a Kunstler effort to cloud the discussion around the warrant.
You say you didn't know of Trump suing Clinton. I've told you before YOU should read more. At this stage because i haven't bothered yet to read all of Kunstler's - thinking it's likely junk now - am guessing this is the suit Kunstler had you wetting yourself over:
Trump Files Batshit Lawsuit Accusing Hillary Clinton of Trying to “Destroy His Life” "restripe, Your crap about garbage's garbage suit against Hillary .. Trump's Lawsuit Against Clinton, DNC Slammed by Legal Experts: 'Garbage' By Jason Lemon On 3/25/22 at 9:39 AM EDT [...] A number of legal experts quickly mocked and criticized the lawsuit, however, with some suggesting Trump and his attorneys could be sanctioned by the court." P - He claims she and others engaged in a criminal conspiracy to take him down. https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=168373084
Couldn't reply to your linked post because I'm banned by an iteration of the GOP Taliban that is allowed on IH. Funny how their bans are 'death sentences', but then they are, ironically, f'ing snowflakes.
Anyway, notwithstanding his accurate assessment of the GOP Kunstler is clearly crazier than a shithouse rat, embracing as he does the gamut of discredited conspiracy theories and free range junk science that characterizes that breed of rat.
Political Views
Kunstler is a harsh critic of both the Republican Party, describing them as "a gang of hypocritical, pietistic sadists, seeking pleasure in the suffering of others while pretending to be Christians, devoid of sympathy, empathy, or any inclination to simple human kindness, constant breakers of the Golden Rule, enemies of the common good."[5] and also the Democratic Party and their "underhanded attempts" to get rid of Donald Trump, a man whom Kunstler sees as showing "strength".[6] He was also a promoter of the concept of a so-called "deep state" working to overthrow and thwart Trump.[7] He endorsed Trump for re-election and declared that he intended to do "everything he can to prevent the Democrats from winning the election."[8]
In an interview with American Conservative, Kunstler attacked gay marriage, describing it as "cultural mischief" that would further damage "a struggling institution".[9] He is a subscriber to the conspiracy theory that the 2020 United States presidential election was fraudulent, describing it as a "fraud-inflected election" on his website, and he suggests that the 2021 storming of the United States Capitol was the work of left-wing groups.[10]
In recent times, Kunstler has had financial problems,[11] and was described as "seethingly angry" about his writing income falling to only a few thousand dollars annually because of "the tidal wave of free content on the web". In addition, his "lucrative college speaking fees" have disappeared, which he blames on "the rising hysteria on campus against threatening ideas". Kunstler now uses Patreon to crowdfund his writing.[11]
In an interview with Doug Casey published on October 13, 2021, Kunstler called the COVID-19 pandemic a "scam",[12] and on October 11 he published the debunked vaccine conspiracy theory that the vaccine would kill people "steadily over the weeks and months" and went on to name hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin as "effective" treatments.[13]
