After all of his incontinent grandstanding, refusal to engage, insulting of his own fans and readers, and, some would argue, blasphemy, Wright apparently backpedaled to the following position: Most of the interesting aspects of the incident have already been discussed elsewhere, but I wanted to focus on one which has not been discussed. Perhaps this latest kerfuffle has demonstrated all of this concretely for a few folks who might have previously though it only abstract and theoretical. Scratch a classical liberal and you’ll find an SJW. Liberals, including the classical variety, carry with their commitment to liberalism an insufferable sense of entitlement.

The Low Man is contemptible, slave by nature or by choice, less than fully human, an impediment to the political liberty of the free and equal emancipated new man: a superman self created by reason and will, subject to no earthly authority other than his own will. It is a necessary concomitant of liberalism – all varieties of liberalism – that anyone who stands in liberalism’s way, or who questions liberalism itself, is the Low Man. Wright’s insults and contempt directed at his own commenters, at people who like and appreciate him, people who are fans of his work and view him as a decent man, are an inevitable product of his liberalism. Wright’s commitment to classical liberalism, then none of this should be surprising. If you’ve been following along with what I write here, and have recognized Mr. I haven’t followed all of the discussion of the Wright affair, to which I was first introduced by my commenters (see Malcolm’s posts here, here, here, and here). I see no need to answer such questions, as well-meant as they might be, because if they are meant frivolously, there is no need and if they are meant seriously, the only proper answer comes from the muzzle of a gun. We do not attempt to persuade the slaveowners to let us be free, as a gift from the royal hand. Free men by rights must kill those who attempt to enslave them. This issue is not one open to debate, for debate is the province of free men. I made a comment, which frankly I thought to be unexceptional, almost routine, that I would rather die than doff my cap to a king, since I am a Virginian.
