What's his game plan here though, clearly this is burning a lot of goodwill in leftist spaces, is he going to be pivoting to the liberal establishment now, or what?

Seems like a hell of a blunder though, in the absence of any fallback plan. Maybe I'm overestimating how canny you have to be to get into a position like his

"I don’t care if Biden beats Trump. I’m not offloading responsibility. If enough people feel similar to me, such as the large population of Muslim people in Dearborn, Michigan. Then he won’t"


I was subscribed to Current Affairs for a bit back in 2017 maybe? I thought the articles were mostly good and the magazine itself was very pretty with lots of nice illustrations. I remember the run up to the 2020 election - NJR interviewed the woman that Biden sexually assaulted.

Then when Bernie dropped out he started writing articles “Biden is better than Trump! Yes he’s a rapist but vote for him anyway!”

And I just tuned the magazine completely out after that.

I tried doing that but it didn't work. Also if you never parried you missed out on the best combat in video gaming.
I've done a lot of playthroughs with parries since and I agree. That said I've never got the hang of parrying in any Dark Souls and opt for the no shield dodging style. Though parrying isn't as necessary in them anyway.

I haven't really dug into it much but it sounds to me like he fired a bunch of people who were dumb enough to talk to him, their boss, about unionizing. nobody comes off looking very savvy unless I'm missing something.

His take on the Zizek vs. Peterson debate was terrible. Like most squishy leftists he's okay at talking poo poo about right-wingers and their failures, but infantile when it comes to actually advocating a left position.

Writing a “great takedown” is probably the most worthless and self-serving thing you can do in terms of writing though. Epic posting about how Jorp is a hypocrite or how Smol Ben is disingenuously obtuse is not moving the needle on anything anywhere, it’s not changing anyone’s mind, it’s just creating mindless content to drive clicks and engagement and ultimately continue to draw attention towards the subject.

Like, when David Roth writes a funny article about Trump’s sweaty steaks or a baseball player’s rancid politics, he is explicitly taking the low road and making fun of them for being gross and stupid, but he’s not ever trying to take the high road and make it about how he is smarter or has better beliefs or ideology than they do.

To be fair, much of his writing about Murray and Shapiro is not about what pieces of poo poo they are, but about the structure that they're a part of. (That is, the right-wing interests that pay their speaking fees, astroturf orgs like TPUSA, scream about free speech, and have no interest in debate.)
