[FRIAM] the Skeptical Meme

Perhaps there is some hope.  See this orthodox nationalist's whining:

But it sounds like he's been replaced by a kinder-gentler version? I haven't heard of Nathaniel Kapner.  It's interesting how the tangled knot of fuzz that was NrX evolved into alt-right and is, now, gradually being taken over by the neo-[nazi|confederate] morons.  Perhaps this Kapner is evidence of the same in the orthodox nationalists.  I felt the same way when I watched the Libertarians completely devolve from talking about Hayek and Friedman and morph into garden variety right wingers. [sigh]

But the more (and more often) we can root out the pseudo-scholars and replace them with those less linguistically endowed, the easier it will be for the laity to see how impoverished their ideas are.

Their ideas are a bit like the insidious Sam Harris, who slathers his right wing ideas in a tasty sauce of rationalism.  But I don't know if the right answer is to take out their platforms.  It seems to me humiliation and humor are the right paths.  (cf. Harris' interaction with Chomsky)
