So:
1) Absolutely an all-time stupid Jacobin post (and that's saying something) but
2) This was written by Eugene Debs in, like, 1919 but
3) It is wrong - feudal lords absolutely did go to war, personally and frequently (though armored, on horseback, with retainers, less likely to end up dead).
This is an all-timer stupid Jacobin post, I'm not even annoyed 10/10.

Nuzzi, like TCW, exists as a kind of simulacrum of the midcentury public intellectual. Not even ripping off the writers of that era, but imitating a sort of half-remembered, half-invented idea of what those writers were sort of like and what their general vibe was.

i'd also say there is a real sense in which for the people who were her patrons and backers nuzzi cannot be allowed to fail

Her piece about Biden, which was itself badly written fiction, was itself a huge ethics scandal because her fuck boy was *running against him*
The piece quotes Kara Swisher — later identified as a friend of Nuzzi's — saying her piece about Biden's age was "the best political reporting out there."

But it wasn't! It came out two weeks after the debate and is just a bunch of anonymous quotes from insiders. Replacement-level stuff.

Malaysian dummymandering produced the blow-out that upended the country's politics and stopped the stagger to autocracy.
It would be pretty funny if a D-tilted environment coupled with trying to dilute D votes by gerrymandering them into heavily red districts resulted in a much bigger blowout than if they hadn’t gerrymandered

Ezra Nuzzi-Lizza sounds less like a name and more like an incantation.

a lot of these savvy political reporter people adopt this obnoxious nihilistic affect to cover for the fact that they’re complete dimwits
95 percent of Nuzzi's reputation for being 'brilliant' or 'talented' was cultivating a mean girl image that the dumbest people in media are suckers for.

The Starmer re-elect is dead. The souffle does not rise twice, the prime minister does not come back from that kind of approval rating, or indeed the level of hatred he inspires in the country now.

Treating the reactionary social attitudes of defecting rainbow coalition proletarians as excusable due to their lack of education is a form of noblesse oblige classism disguised as political activism
"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Yeah stuff like "Worship Team Bass Player Dies On Stage, Nobody Notices" was great because it so clearly came from real subject matter expertise

the Bee gets most of its clicks pandering to the absolutely dullest caricatures of the left possible so most of their work is dogshit but occasionally they’ll punch right and purely from a comedy standpoint it’s almost always a million times better
