Actually yeah. They got hit for normalizing a Nazi a few weeks ago and they may get hit again for this, but only because they are posting lies and uninformed stupidity from shitheads.

he only gets to that in the very last paragraph, but only after unironically citing the two most famous american anti-semites of the 1930s. he also reaffirms the whole "jewish communism" linkage, with 0 refutation. it also blames jews for stealing atomic secrets (klaus fuchs was Lutheran).

quote:

Similar charges have long been leveled at Jews. Henry Ford accused Jews of causing the First World War. A generation later, famed aviator Charles Lindbergh charged Jews with trying to inveigle the United States into war.

"A modest proposal" is obviously satire from the first paragraph. this is not, and it sounds more like the rantings of someone who wants to ethnically cleanse himself.

his conclusion is that all the anti-Semitic stuff he lists was at least partially true, but that Jewish immigration was worth it anyway because Jewish millionaires created lots of American jobs and businesses, and the "organizational Jewish energies" of assimilated American Jews are now devoted to "protecting [America's] religious and cultural distinctiveness"

it's an incredibly neoliberal take, and also incredibly racist. its like all the people who defend illegal immigration for its economic benefits, except mingled with openly-expressed racism

it really comes off like bret stephens just wanted to write a bunch of nazi propaganda and have the times publish it so he wrote (btw this is satire) when most of the things he says come off as completely sincere

what about the judeo-bolsheviks? ah, well, they created jobs

the nyt and every other big old media outlet is a newsroom of overworked and underpaid and underrecognized journalists doing journalism with an outsized parasitic growth called the editorial section that eats up an outsized part of the money and cashes in the goodwill from the good things the actual journalists do so that the editors and owners can push a far-right agenda

i looked at the trump supporters letters the Times printed today, and surprise, they're all overly wordy propaganda from wealthy bankers and business owners who very clearly wanted to try to sound extra smart for their favorite newspaper

almost all the letters were sent from cities or very wealthy suburbs. 10 of the 15 letters came from New York or New England. of the five remaining letters, two came from California, two came from major urban areas, and one came from a small rural Iowa community

my favorite letter is the one from Dane Davis, who tells a very personal-sounding story about his working-class upbringing and how Trump is the best for his fellow poverty-stricken workers, except that he gives enough personal details that it took about five seconds to discover he's a highly-connected investment banker who interned at the GOP and conservative thinktanks while attending a prestigious high-class university in London

There aren't any journalists anymore, there are bloggers on a mission flipping barely disguised AP wires.

someone really needs to write a book on people like Klein

like do these guys just read mid-20th century policy books, mix it together with econ 101 and a dash of Friedmanite (both of them) garbage? I think it's a combination of that and always looking to make reality out to be more complex than it is that prevents liberals like Klein from just understanding Republicans are Bad.

Klein is trump for libs; he doesn’t understand anything he just barks in a way that idiot followers can go “whoa yeah me too “
