Comments on: UPDATE II: Great Conversation About ‘Into the Cannibal’s Pot’ https://barelyablog.com/great-conversation-about-into-the-cannibal%e2%80%99s-pot/ by ilana mercer Wed, 02 Apr 2025 19:29:09 +0000 hourly 1 By: Contemplationist https://barelyablog.com/great-conversation-about-into-the-cannibal%e2%80%99s-pot/comment-page-1/#comment-19553 Tue, 19 Jul 2011 19:36:39 +0000 http://barelyablog.com/?p=39882#comment-19553 I ordered the book on Sunday. Amazon says delivery is expected second week of August! Baffling. Anyway, I’m not a great writer so not sure if I will be reviewing, but waiting to read nonetheless.

[You write plenty well to jot down what you took away form the book, if anything, on Amazon. Much appreciated.]

Read and heed folks.

The book arrived – now I have to find the time to read it.

I did not like many of the commentary found at the site
http://www.thepoliticalcesspool.org/jamesedwards/2011/07/15/author-columnist-ilana-mercer-will-be-featured-guest-on-saturday-nights-live-show/
which had a lot of anti-Semitic responses (on the website above).

Anyway, you criticized the flaws in the old Apartheid regime. It would have been nice for classical liberalism (e.g. where the rights of the individual count more than racial power and/or “majority rule” and/or “my tribe beats your tribe” philosophy) could have found a solution to South Africa.

Again, I shall read the book but I certainly see the political struggles in America as often Republican “soft fascism” vs. Democratic “soft socialism” with classical liberalism trampled by both “sides”. I shall look for the similarities and differences between the South African decline and America’s.

[Looking forward to a Pauli review, good or bad, on Amazon; some of our brilliant BAB readers seem to have done so already.—IM]

I hope you will return to that program many times. I plan to buy your book. I have read articles by you before and can only say: keep up the good work!

[Thanks you. And welcome to BAB]

I am a fan of The Political Cesspool Radio Program, and am not normally a fan of Miss Mercer’s, but I found the interview to be very informative and insightful.

If not, which one? Internet is sloooww here, so it would be nice not to waste any.

I highly recommend listening to the interview.
