This must be the dumbest motherfucker to have ever existed, I can’t believe people consider them to be a genius in anything other than gaslighting and projection. Almost every single line could be ranked among the most absurd takes I have ever read. I did not know that it was possible to experience such intense feelings of cringe outside of Twitter. The industrial revolution and its consequences indeed.

    Yeah, its definitely got the same “genius” energy of your Matt Yglesias quips, Ben Shapiro rants, or Jordan Peterson tearful monologues. He’s clearly aware of the material history of these people and organizations and he acknowledges tendencies among leftists to champion the weak and oppose the cruel. But he psychologizes the motivations in order to tear down his subjects. “You support marginalized people because you resent them. You oppose powerful people because you envy them. You’re too empathetic and too intellectual and too moralistic. And if you’re too much of something, that means you’re the opposite of it.”

    Its the exact same gibberish I’d expect to read from a WaPo Op-Ed or Economist Think Piece or NYT Best Seller.
