I said snarky and irritating, not arrogant. Here are some examples of what I mean:
- (I predict the USA will merrily go its own way and faceplant, unless y'all elect a competent next POTUS. Or VPOTUS, insofar as Biden appears to be past it and Pence is incompetent at anything but arse-licking.)
- Extra lulz in the UK: the Prime Minister is out of hospital but hasn't been seen since Monday—my guess is he's hors de combat for at least another two weeks. A quarter of the senior ministers of state are rabid objectivists who actively hate the poor and want them to die, and a majority of the cabinet are still going full steam ahead for a no-deal Brexit transition on January 31st, at which point the UK economy shrinks another 8% overnight.
Really unnecessary. Maybe there are interesting thoughts in this blog post, but adding stuff like this doesn't lend me to take you seriously.
- everyone 7y agoI find his style of writing quite elegant. He gets his point across, vividly, in a highly terse way. Though I agree this article is BS. Where are your references man? where is your data?
- ceilingcorner 7y agoIn no way whatsoever is that writing style elegant, terse, or vivid. It’s an angry puerile rant.
- everyone 7y ago?? Those two things are not mutually exclusive.
