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)

Pedophilia apologism[edit]

Added a section on this.

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'll also add Steven Pinker called me one of the most interesting thinkers writing today: https://twitter.com/sapinker/status/1427124793426382852. See also the blurbs on my book from Peter Thiel, Vivek Ramaswamy, and others. I'm not saying all this because I want to brag about how great I am, but if we're going to be relying on other people's opinions of me and citing their quotes, positive ones belong in there too.RHanania23 (talk) 21:40, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

Could you please provide evidence? Do you still believe in HBD, endorse paedophilia and stuff? We usually cover the "bad" things about everyone, so adding those remarks from two GMU professors is something that we probably won't do, and I say that as a person that likes Cowen.

This is likely to be the real Richard Hanania or his friend Anatoly Karlin. Their agenda in the last week has been to try to white-wash Wiki articles written about Richard Hanania that contain criticism of his racist views. The same user has put the message on Wikipedia [1]. Currently Wikipedia editors have given in to Hanania and removed any mention of his white nationalists views from his lead [2] (I doubt that will last long). He seems to be wanting to remove from the internet his neo-nazi past such as writing articles for AltRight.com, Counter-Currents, Occidental Observer, Taki's Magazine and VDare. 104.236.5.118 (talk) 23:12, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

Copypasting the same talk page message between Wikipedia and RW as if they had the same article is just lazy. Chillpilled (talk) 23:47, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

There is no evidence Hanania has abandoned his racist/far-right beliefs. His recent book The Origins of Woke has been described as a "Trojan horse for white supremacy." He still associates with racists like Steve Sailer. To quote another recent article on Hanania: "The bigotry Hanania voiced earlier hasn’t disappeared; indeed, it is still explicit (although more politely expressed) in his writing." 137.184.72.113 (talk) 23:19, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

RationalWiki should probably block RHanania23 like Wikipedia have done [3]. There is no proof that is the real Hanania. Anatoly Karlin is known for meat-puppetry and sock-puppets. 46.101.5.6 (talk) 00:51, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

@Bongolian @Johns @Chillpilled, @Griffina and who else edited my page. I have been lifting weights in my local gym. I am not a man to mess with. I have been reliably informed this article was written by a bald antifa loser. I am not wearing a wig and have a full set of hair despite I am nearly in my 40s.RHanania23 (talk) 01:36, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

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)
