Welp. This is a thing I know now and I need to share the damage.
the biggest problem, for me, with the editor of the NYT cranking the bad take machine up to 11 is that every time ross douthat writes something, my husband reminds me that william f buckley took a young ross douthat skinny dipping.

As a bookstore that sells pamphlets and magazines, the criminalization of such materials feels pretty close to home. So let's take a closer look at the materials the federal government is claiming tie readers to "antifa terrorism." We can pick out six titles in these grainy photos. 1/

Once you start thinking of AI as a war on humanity, on human thought, on human inquiry, on human labor, on nuance and critical thinking, it slots in pretty seamlessly with the right wing ideological project, oligarchical political projects, big tech's political projects, etc

Imo this is the problem with calling everything fascism-in the US, fascism is understood as something that happens to white people and that white people saved the world from. It’s not understood at its foundation as being white supremacist.
These two tweets in a row, one right after another, show that this guy does not actually care about taking a principled stance against bigotry; he just wants it not to be directed against him.
