Bari Weiss is no longer at The New-York Times
- Thread starter AuthenticM
- Start date
Fuck. You know what's the worst thing? She could have tried to mitigate her mistake. She could have apologized and admitted ignorance, and then said kudos to Mirai Nagasu's immigrant parents for raising such a great athlete.
But that's not the kind of person Bari Weiss is. When she says "immigrants, they get the job done", it's not because she actually respects immigrants, it's because she transparently wants to other an American native-born citizen because she's not white.
Holy shit, this is like QAnon levels of disillusion. The Intellectual Dark Web has always been a joke, but they are *really* showing their ass over this whole thing.
how to own PC marxist thought police in under a minute
they're at the JRPG final boss monologue level of psychopath rambling
Lol. Im like, they already have Quillette for your wordy bigots. The hilarious thing here is that none of them have any self awareness, so whatever they start is going to be a shitshow.
This feels like when Megyn Kelly left Fox News probably thinking, "People like me for me, not me cheering on fucked up politics, Ill just hop on a new network and boom, success!"
Their endeavor is going have a comments section with with usernames with variations of the numbers 14 and 88 .
Yes the real revolutionaries are the... governors and mayors the protestors are protesting against.
bio: "MD at Thiel Capital."
lmaoooooooooo
also the true patriot thing. god this is just the culmination
He works at Thiel Capital. So he's stupid, rich, and incredibly evil.
he loves mike cernovich and coined the whole intellectual dark web thing so yes he's very stupid
and this too
Someone semi-public I know has been defending JK Rowling on her TERF shit, and they've been liking this guy's tweets a LOT, if that tells you where they're all coming from. I confronted the person I know about it; and we had the most absurd conversation:
Him: "I actually don't know enough to have an opinion on Trans rights, I just think JK Rowling said some things I agree with and were reasonable, and others that didn't but she has a right to say them!"
Me: "How do you know they're reasonable if you just said you don't know enough about the topic to form an opinion"
Him: "Akshually, I know more about Trans issues than most people, I just have much higher standards to say when I've got an opinion."
And on and on and on. They're all either (or both) intellectually lazy af, or straight up haters.
They will probably start big but end up a podcast on patreon where folks sub to own the libs
She seemed to be on Bill Maher's show all the time and got very tiresome. I didn't know she came from the WSJ first.
I just broke all the mirrors in my house to mourn this twitter murder
No confirmations of anything, it's just people putting obvious pieces together.
User Banned (1 Week): Inflammatory Generalizations; Prior Infractions for the Same
Further proof to me that 98% of Hamilton fans are dopey lib-center morons who would happily eat minorities alive if it meant maintaining the status quo.
Works for Thiel/a lib-bro startup in SV so all the coke prolly rattled his brain.
I've seen him interviews and I just can't follow the guy lol. He has this "I'm a super intellectual guy" vibe, but he never stakes any positions.
One of the more peculiar things in this world are people who've never experienced actual oppression or justice casting themselves as brave defenders of truth under the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune. Like they all want to be Davy Crockett at the Alamo or some shit.
Oof I'm sorry you've known about him for this long, today was my first time hearing about him luckily.
He's very much from the Dave Rubin/Jordan Peterson school of have no solid opinions except hating on sjws/pc culture/college students and use a lot of words.
I don't think his a grifter, I just think his another person who read Atlas Shrugged when they were 16 thought that they where John Galt, the thought leader who the world revolves around, and then get pissed off when the dumb peasants just laugh in his face.
lol at the people seriously claiming NYT is radical-left now. They've always been a fence-sitting centrist paper, that won't change and if it actually moves to the left a bit that's a good thing
They're just following the example of the Founding Fathers unironically crying about tyranny and slavery because of taxes while owning actual slaves

Be fair!
Sometimes it's terfs.
I was thrown off by calling a 36 year old a "young woman." Like, I'm not saying she's old, but she's a grown ass adult.
Andrew Sullivan also announced he's leaving NYMag at the end of this week and has a big new announcement coming. Some are suggesting they'll start writing together. While I don't agree with Sullivan I always liked his acerbic and biting writing style when he was in the Atlantic and The Daily Beast.
One thing that's always bothered me about Weiss is her inability to own up to being wrong and her persecution complex. It's out in spades in this resignation letter. Whenever she's misstepped or said something stupid or linked something false, she's "apologized" but then always added something ... "So you can stop wishing I'd die now" or something similar, which makes her apology a lot less genuine because the real enemy is "the mob" or something.
