I can see alt-left being used to describe the extremely online leftists, but they don’t call themselves that, which was my point. I must confess, I’m an extremely online leftist, and I’d refer to myself as many many things with alt left not being one of them because no one else calls themselves that.
It’s…

That was.....brutally efficient.

Independents are almost never talked about in primary polls, they support Sanders and Warren by double digits.

...raised without coherent moral frameworks

Every day, Biden reveals more and more what a piss-poor candidate he is—and why he’s the frontrunner, too. The American electorate, broadly speaking, does not like to deal with complex, difficult topics—they’d rather vote on name recognition, “gut instinct,” or just for the person who says stuff that makes them feel…

I haven’t read that one, though Karamazov is a favorite. A quick summary makes it seem like Brooks is crediting the people he’s talking about with levels of intelligence and introspection that are simply not the case for the vast majority of them.

It went right over everyone's heads because David Brooks wrote it and they were all "Hm, checks out."

Just remember, the NYT once paid for him to take a $100,000 round the world trip so he could write a single collum about the ennui of being surrounded by the simply rich but not RICH and how strange it was that they treated the staff like humans.

“I’m one of those centrists whose discomfort is intertwined with delusion, whose mild displeasure at real wrongs is corrupted by my existential smugness about my position in life and mediocrity.”

The NYT can, of course, fuck off into the black and evil fantasy land of “Both Sides” that it attempts to create a passage for to our reality and die there, or “live” forever, screaming in fear and regret.

David Brooks is a lying moron and the in no way liberal New York Times is a national embarrassment for hiring hacks like him.

The alt-right is the “alt-right” because calling yourself “nazi” or “fascist” is (rightly) placing yourself in bad company. TL;DR: They’re cowards

If someone from an Ivy League Uni every tries to make you feel small, kids worked their asses off to get into Yale, and a non-zero number of them fulfilled their degree requirements by sitting through David Brooks’ Humility course (the assigned text was a book he wrote). And not walking out in disgust at the insult…

Short answer: no.

There’s no such thing as the “alt-left”, as said. The whole idea of “cancel culture” is vastly overstated. “Coherent moral frameworks” is a bad euphemism for Christianity, whatever the hell he intended with the phrasing that’s how it’ll be read. None of this is intelligent.

Yeah I mean I’m a communist, and while I don’t have much love for what Russia has turned into since the coup that overthrew the USSR restored capitalism, I do find the focus on that country as our national boogeyman to be pretty ridiculous — mostly because it serves as a way for people to offload responsibility for…

+1 man and 1 woman

I don’t care if it is sponsored by Nazi Pedophiles for America, ‘Cleanse America of Untermenschen Park Cleanup’ is all about making the playground nice for kids.

I can’t believe the guy hocking a nutritional supplement pyramid scheme would support something that’s proven harmful by science. Weird. 

If conversion therapy is so effective, why do the Saints carry a punter on their roster?
