On the one hand, "Yes, that is true".
On the other hand, it's actually physically nauseating to have The Spectator pass any comment on integrity, cultural vandalism, RightThink etc. They've led the charge promoting fake news and alternative "facts" from Brexit to Covid.
- fortituded0002 4y agoI'm not familiar with them but things make a lot more sense now. The writing seemed pretty off with lots of odd signals about how to think, how to fall in line, and spell out what our outrage should be. The talking points seemed a little too clean-cut and less about a discussion. Not much to see here. Time to move on.
- LatteLazy 4y agoExactly. It's sad because (despite being mostly on the left) I used to read the Spectator, in a "hear the other side, challenge your own point if view" way. And it was good. Decent pragmatic right leaning people. Then in the run up to Brexit it just sort of fell apart. Out was anyone with facts or reasons. In were pre-canned talking points, appeals to emotion and bare faced lies.
