Talk:Richard Hanania
Hypocrisy of Richard Hanania & supporters[edit]
An interesting angle is how much people like Richard Hanania and Steven Pinker promoted the City Journal article attacking a former Rational Wiki contributor for his youthful engagement in extremism. The difference being that Hanania is still an extremist while the former Rational Wiki contributor is not.[1]Pinkerite (talk) 03:07, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

Nothing about current views, emphasis on past annonymoust comments[edit]
I'm the subject of this article. I posted things anonymously a long time ago that got no attention, and have a career under my own name, in which I've been published in the NYT, Washington Post, The Atlantic, and many other publications. The anonymous writings are clearly the focus on the piece. By my search, I appear 14 times in New York Times articles. Only two are related to the news about my pseudonym, and only one of them makes me the focus of the piece. Those two articles get cited in the Wiki page, and there's nothing about any of my ideas that got coverage elsewhere in the paper, including my own op-eds. There is practically no discussion of my ideas at all in the piece, except when they can be tied to past anonymous writings. And there is nothing about more moderate stances, like being pro-immigration, and defending the MSM from conservative attacks. I also went to the Washington Post and searched for my name. Found two articles by me, nothing about the pseudonym controversy. If I'm not important enough to have an in-depth treatment of my ideas, fine. But it's very weird to ignore my entire career which has gotten a lot of mainstream coverage, and make the center of the piece about anonymous writings from the past. Also, the article heavily implies I was cancelled from the University of Texas, which wasn't true. My fellowship expired that month, taking my name from the website was due at the time anyway. I don't know if it was a coincidence or whatever, but that's about the time it should've happened and may have been unrelated. Regardless, this article shouldn't give the impression I lost a job there. Finally, if you want to include hostile quotes from me, why not positive ones too? Tyler Cowen: "You should all be getting Richard’s Substack. Of all the 'new thinkers' on the Right, he is the one who most combines extreme smarts and first-rate work ethic, with non-conformism thrown in to boot. Read him!" See also Bryan Caplan's blog post "Hanania the wise." If you're going to include the negative comments, surely you shouldn't leave the reader with the impression that no one has ever said anything positive about me.

I know this is already collapsed but I just mentioned his attempt here over at Wikipedia. Lavalizard101 (talk) 10:59, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
- This guy is probably just another Mikey sock ("Bald Antifa Loser", "Wig") and not the real Hanania. Bit too obvious. Arcadium Trancefer (talk) 14:22, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
Israel[edit]
Lately he seems to make pro-Israel posts. Chillpilled (talk) 19:36, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
His fake autobiography[edit]
Quite hilarious to read the whitewashed autobigraphy. He describes his overt white nationalist posts as somehow being "identity libertarianism" despite he was never a libertarian but a literal fascist who wrote on neo-Nazi sites like Counter Currents he supports sterlisation of blacks and low iq people. https://www.richardhanania.com/p/my-political-development 138.68.173.110 (talk) 02:09, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
