fuck that harper’s article. seriously. it’s a list of shitheads with no discernible solutions to our problems. they’re intellectual frauds whose real fear is that they’ll be left without a ruling class their can be buddies with and coddle publicly. fuck them
telling jk rowling to shut the fuck up isn& #39;t illiberalism, that& #39;s free speech working in two directions. we are not here to be lectured by these fuckwads anymore, and their ilk need to learn that they don& #39;t get to spread propaganda without consequences. they don& #39;t own the forum
the pretense of a value neutral view from nowhere is a farce. it& #39;s a lie people like bari weiss and fareed zakaria tell themselves to justify allowing a particular class of people determine the topics and rules of the debate.
to them the free exchange of ideas is a conversation amongst themselves. our role is to merely consume, to care only about the topics they discuss, analyzed within the frameworks they consider to be valid. anything else is intolerable
