Whoa. Reading about this in Forbes and they mention a distinct name I recognize. I do a double-take. I think I know this guy. He has the exact same name as an old college acquaintance/friend of mine. We were in the same fraternity and both majored in economics. My old ex-girlfriend and I used to...
I was but I can totally see taking it a different way.
Indeed, I should have known better. “Ignorant” is used way too negatively and not as a technical descriptor these days—in written communication about sensitive stuff, I should have just picked a different word. Easy peasy.
I got you, man. I see. I just was agreeing with you that nearly all things have political underpinnings, but I was saying that the NPR part of this thread—the Bari Weiss and Maher part—is an expressly and inherently political topic. There is no way around it. That’s all.
And since our comments...
I don’t want to do that at all. I’m covering all bases here. I’m reading back through the thread and was actually giving you the benefit of the doubt. “Ignorant” was probably a negative term. “Unaware” would have been better.
This is sort of what I’m referring to. I assumed with your “no...
And this, friends, as I’ve been claiming in other threads, is why now is specifically not the time to tune out. At all.
It is actually downright dangerous to do so.
Yes, everything at its core is political. To find things that aren’t, we need to find things that in reality have a common enough understanding and agreement to where things aren’t contentious nor do we descend into the tangibly political aspect quickly.
But this particular argument is...
And I agree with Bari in this case.
So is Maher’s outlook (political). Her suppositions and premises behind her worldview are expressly political.
There is no way around it. Sorry.
There are things not subject to the immediate political realm. These two are not good examples.
Agreed.
But Bari Weiss is explicitly political. Everything she wades into is political. That is her raison d’etre.
Your objection does not apply here.

on Maher’s ideology:
“First and foremost, it means an end to the Enlightenment idea of empirical truth.”
Katie Herzog, noted opinion commenter says that every story is about race.
I have no desire to argue this with dupes...
I sort of feel like that’s been my life the past thirty-two years, frankly. I was posting and talking about radical gender stuff for about twenty or so years now. I’ve only been here about twelve, but those old weird and drunk gender threads nobody got (and they shouldn’t have) from like 2015...
Absolutely. No judgments whatsoever and I didn't mean to come off that way at all.
And the terminology we had—which was cruder than the categories that intersectionality covers—was "race, gender, class." And then you had sexuality and physical disability. I had a head start on figuring out...
Uh, it's totally political. It's not even close to not political. Anything that concentrates on DEI and the disparity of Republican/Democrats on a news staff is political, but I think we can remain neutral about it and let it pass. Joe wanted to post it, and he owns the joint. But it's Bari...
Woody Johnson just made the max donation for he and his wife to a conspiracy peddler. 1.6 million dollars. What do you think he can say?
Rodgers is a beaut.
No forewarning.
