Mother Jones is the most extreme left-wing publication I can think of.
This particular article is not much of an exception, and I have flagged it.
To address the point, though, I've been working on making my twitter feed better. I mute SJW's on sight. I've got an annoying hashtag and the words "Trump" and "Russians" muted as well.
I try to constructively engage when I run into someone I wouldn't mind following, but who is clearly at least temporarily being an Twitter activist in a way that I disagree with. I try to mostly tweet about programming topics, though.
But I've been talking with my friends about "the Twitter problem". We think it might be better to just quit following our Twitter accounts and go back to blogging and RSS feeds to stay on top of each other.
- dragonwriter 9y ago> Mother Jones is the most extreme left-wing publication I can think of. Eh, Mother Jones editorial position is somewhere between the center of the neoliberal faction and the center of the social democratic faction of the Democratic Party, somewhere in the center-left. If they are the most left-wing publication you can think of, you either have a very narrow or right-leaning exposure. Here's a far more left-wing publication: http://revcom.us/revolution/current-en.html?1 http://revcom.us/revolution/current-en.html?1
- sheepmullet 9y agoIn truth mother jones is about as far to the left as is acceptable to people in the center. Kind of like brietbart on the right. Sites like Revcom are the infowars of the left. People in the center will categorise you as an extremist if you start quoting them.
