Andrew Sullivan: "I'm a critic of critical race theory so I got shitcanned"--
Poast new message in this thread
Date: July 17th, 2020 3:36 PM Author: mind-boggling glassy chapel multi-billionaire "What has happened, I think, is relatively simple: A critical mass of the staff and management at New York Magazine and Vox Media no longer want to associate with me, and, in a time of ever tightening budgets, I’m a luxury item they don’t want to afford. And that’s entirely their prerogative. They seem to believe, and this is increasingly the orthodoxy in mainstream media, that any writer not actively committed to critical theory in questions of race, gender, sexual orientation, and gender identity is actively, physically harming co-workers merely by existing in the same virtual space. Actually attacking, and even mocking, critical theory’s ideas and methods, as I have done continually in this space, is therefore out of sync with the values of Vox Media. That, to the best of my understanding, is why I’m out of here."

Date: July 17th, 2020 5:04 PM Author: Domesticated associate It was created to explain why socialism hasn’t generated the utopian society envisioned by Marx. The triumph of state intervention in the economy eradicated the need for Marxist revolution, the argument goes. The oppressor-oppressed dynamic of owner vs proletariat is no longer as problematic. Critical theory attempts to explain why, despite the fact that the need for Marxist economic revolution appears to have been avoided, groups within society are still perceived as unequal. The critical theorist therefore applies the same oppressor-oppressed dynamic of old economic Marxism to individual groups within society. Oppressors aren’t the owning class anymore but whites, or Karens, or Christians, or the cisgender, or the physically fit. The state intervention required for this is government imposed racial, gender, and sex based quotas in all sectors where the “oppressor” groups are perceived as being over represented when compared to the “oppressed” groups. To the critical theorist only this intervention can truly reduce these tensions and achieve the kind of utopia referenced by Marx. And here we are.

Date: July 17th, 2020 4:55 PM Author: aggressive coffee pot virtue (signalling), actually
In his Report on the Principles of Political Morality of 5 February 1794, Robespierre praised the revolutionary government and argued that terror and virtue were necessary:
If virtue is the spring of a popular government in times of peace, the spring of that government during a revolution is virtue combined with terror: virtue, without which terror is destructive; terror, without which virtue is impotent. Terror is only justice prompt, severe and inflexible; it is then an emanation of virtue; it is less a distinct principle than a natural consequence of the general principle of democracy, applied to the most pressing wants of the country ... The government in a revolution is the despotism of liberty against tyranny.[308]
Aulard sums up the Jacobin train of thought, "All politics, according to Robespierre, must tend to establish the reign of virtue and confound vice. He reasoned thus: those who are virtuous are right; error is a corruption of the heart; error cannot be sincere; error is always deliberate."[309][310] According to the German journalist K.E. Oelsner, Robespierre behaved "more like a leader of a religious sect than of a political party. He can be eloquent but most of the time he is boring, especially when he goes on too long, which is often the case." |

Date: July 17th, 2020 4:06 PM Author: Irradiated dark tanning salon 1 hour ago (Edited) It’s hilarious to see Bari Weiss and Andrew Sullivan try to spin their departures into the convenient and dishonest narratives they always do.
Sullivan does not offer a new unheard opinion. His white nationalism, his weird anti-trans rants, etc. are a dime a dozen. And it turns out, nobody is clicking on that divisive garbage anymore, at least not enough to have it make financial sense for a business. Guess the free market got your ass, didn’t it?
I am so glad we will no longer be subjected to the hypocritical and half-baked stupidities where if Andrew Sullivan gets criticized on Twitter, that’s the “woke mob” silencing him and it is literally the free speech issue of our time. Keep in mind just last month we saw journalists being shot at and arrested on live tv, some even left permanently disabled. Did Sullivan make a peep about that? No, of course not. |

Matt Taibbi? The veritable Platonic form of human snark who even looks it with a rictus as crooked as Dick Cheney's, who, to cite Shakespeare "smiles in such a sort/ As if he mock'd himself and scorned his spirit/ That could be moved to smile at any thing."
I could say that I look forward to hearing you talk about the excesses of the Left as the GOP turns us into an authoritarian wasteland while the "conservatism" you helped prop up and promote lo these many years turns out workers and denies health care to them en masse during a pandemic, but I don't intend to read your false equivalency rubbish.
Frankly the way you've used a national forum is appalling - e.g. assertions above without stats and studies about ascertaining the real political make up of college campuses. You just make these ex cathedra pronouncements as though you were the Delphic Oracle (which is about how much your assessments are worth). If you think academia is liberal then you are not in it and haven't a clue - you are referring primarily to the arts and humanities, generally the weakest wing of the sports franchise that universities have become - but have you any idea how conservative the sciences, business departments, nursing schools, etc., are? And do you further understand how conservative most college grads are - that it took someone as loathsome as Trump to finally lose them?
Oooh, the mighty campus that is so strong and powerful it has stopped a stupid mistake in Iraq, gotten health care for all, managed to foist a living wage for the sake of US workers at large, saved the planet from climate change, and staved off an authoritarian from the presidency. Ooooh, the mighty campus - NOT!
Come on. You've grabbed a bone, and the meat has long since been chewed off.
It's pathetic.
And as I said, don't let the door hit you on the way out. |
