It's the New Republic, an intellectual fashion magazine for the American Left. As it says at the bottom of the article, the author is one of their staff writers. Comments about American hegemony and how other countries can't be blamed for wanting American idiots to go die are the kinds of intellectual fashion statements that the New Republic expects its staff writers to make.
- xvector 7y agoI am leftist myself, but these people are insane. "Yeah, let's just go ahead and hand over control of internet standards gift-wrapped to some of the worst human rights abusers in history. What could possibly go wrong?!" If Russia and China were sane, reasonable states that cared for any semblance of human rights, yeah, sure, maybe it'd make sense to make this not American-centric. But as it stands, the author just comes off as naive.
- bmn__ 7y ago> If Russia and China were sane, reasonable states that cared for any semblance of human rights America holding internet standards hostage can't be the answer to that, arrogant selfishness comes across as the motivation. Telephony interoperability standards are managed just fine by an international committee; this can serve as a role model how to govern control of internet standards. http://ITU.int/ITU-T http://ITU.int/ITU-T
