This is not very readable. It seems to mix irony and sarcasm into a long and meandering informative piece.
The effect seems to be that this is a real slog of a read unless you share a bunch of preconceptions and assumptions with the author.
- Covzire 5y agoIt's also, perhaps ironically a "disinformation" piece in itself, like so much supposed introspection on the left, they are quick to point out and label right wing conspiracy theories and perceived attempts to deceive, but they completely ignore their own including the biggest ones, like Russian Collusion. It also has a built-in presumption that Brexit and Trump's election were somehow break downs of the Democratic system, even if it takes the "disinfo" angle to task somewhat. Those are only breakdowns from one then-minority viewpoint, but the minority is constantly claiming they have an absolute monopoly on what is real and true when they dismiss populism out of hand. Hint: They don't.
