he meant concept (sanctuary city "concept").

the article's stupid though. he's not saying undocumented immigrants "breed" in sanctuary cities. it's racist because he's saying that providing sanctuary to undocumented immigrants means you're providing sanctuary to a criminal element.

He wrote for The Exile, the satirical publication of Matt Taibbi and Mark Ames in Russia, and currently co-hosts a podcast about war with Ames.

Joementum posted:

it's all been sorted now. the guardian was forced by taibbi to issue a retraction and their old publisher put out a clarification that the book was fiction.

people can still be mad if they want that those two guys did a ton of blow in moscow and wrote a gross book where they ripped off hunter thompson's rape/abortion story from fear and loathing in las vegas, but that's about it.

Dolan has done some questionable poo poo, whether that's actually all the awful stuff in the book or just fabrication. His story about running an amphetamine lab is really goddamned funny though (he chickened out) and I have a feeling he's the type to make that poo poo up. Either way he seems to have grown up and his podcast is really loving good and I'm excited to hear this episode.

The background is that The Exile was a satirical newspaper in Russia mostly in the 90s that made fun of Yeltsin and the oligarchs and the American expats who came over to turn the country into a neoliberal hellhole. They did stuff like have Taibbi throw a pie filled with horse semen at a member of the Duma. John Dolan was their poetry columnist and wrote another column as a barely fake personality named Gary Brecher, the War Nerd, a southern California conservative who read too many Janes books.

Ames and Taibbi wrote a book version of The Exile which was mostly satirical stuff about how much expats suck. Part of the book rips off the second half of Fear and Loathing and describes an episode where they rape a child prostitute and force her to have an abortion. The book also includes obviously fake quotes from the US ambassador saying he'd like to kill every American in Russia, among other things, but the front page where they list the ISBN info and other stuff included a note from the publisher labelling the whole thing as non-fiction.

Since its publication, the parts of the book with the rape thing have been taken out of context to attack Taibbi and Ames, most recently on the day before Taibbi's book tour started. The writing really is gross and Taibbi has apologized for it while blaming Ames for writing it. Ames has defended the whole thing as satire. So that's the whole backstory and you can decide whether to care about any of it.

If anyone skipped it because of the mudslinging at the time, "I Can't Breathe" is a great book that more people should have read.

They are so mad and jealous they aren't making chapo money and it's really loving obvious. Their stupid thread basically is showing how the chapo guys didn't "earn" it and aren't giving back enough in the specific ways she wants them to.

Literally in the middle of the chapo rant
