like specifically about the publication exploiting a couple of good writers' reputations to launder the racist, transphobic, reactionary diatribes of some of the narrowest, most mediocre minds of our generation. only made more on the nose by the ceo doing basically sponcon for meta pervert glasses!

Every Atlantic article is basically a variation on "The Liberal Case for a Far Right Agenda."

huh.

you can't even say i have uncanny timing because this is just a normal recurring thing they do.

feels like the left punching is ramping up. I even unfollowed them on facebook because it was too much. and I still follow the @WSJ there.

this, but also: i'm not even sure if calling a group of people parasites is concern trolling; i think that's just brownshirt fascist shit!

God I'm sick of the Atlantic's faux intellectual neoconservative concern trolling bullshit

agreed though I don't think it's difficult! I get that they occasionally have something that seems like it's not trash but if you toss a lovely birthday cake in a dumpster it actually is also trash

yeah and i think the difficult conversation is more w/friends (or even just "people i respect") who publish in there because they need to eat, or because the job market is shit, or for numerous other reasons that are true but also... i mean i can't pretend their employer is NOT calling me a parasite
