I audibly guffawed when I saw the title

I didn't post in dunk tank because the concept, title and byline are so silly that you can't get upset with it.

"You are right Comrade Peterson, I will clean my room and abandon this "communism" nonsense I was cooking up immediately."

What a joke of an article. These "think" tank morons just phone it in, every damn time. FEE has to be among the very worst, with seemingly no standards for what kind of garbage gets posted on their site. I recall that another FEE "writer" was featured on a Chapo episode some time ago, and their prose read exactly like this Jon Miltimore idiot. I wish I could remember more details--but I do know that the individual in question was a college dropout who had basically bounced around from marginal job to marginal job and somehow ended up at FEE. That seems to be how they find these people--I'm guessing that the pay is lousy and they prey on not-too-bright recent college grads or dropouts who have run out of options. I also noticed that Miltimore is affiliated with "Intellectual Takeout", which is a really lame project run out of the Center for the American Experiment, a regional right-wing "think" tank in MN. "Takeout" exists basically to provide prefabbed term papers with right-wing themes which lazy students can copy in order to "pwn" their supposedly Marxist professors. However, colleges now use sophisticated anti-cheating software, and this is a really great way to get blackballed from higher ed by being expelled for plagiarism.
