Readers should be aware that The Quillette has been known to produce things which are strictly propaganda, and to take what they write with a significant grain of salt.
An example would be their description of the Cider Riot confrontation in Portland. They presented this event in an apparently impartial way, when in fact it was an organized assault instigated by the right wing agitators, and the Quillette's reporter (Andy Ngo) was part of the assault.
- yetanother12345 3y agoThe article is by an author named "Maarten Boudry". Not "Andy Ngo". It is about demographics worldwide, not specific to Portland. It does not even mention the words "riot", "confrontation", or "Portland"... did you even read it? It's actually a quite good article, and it does not contain any traces of either left-wing or right-wing "propaganda" AFAIK & IMHO. YMMV, but this thread is about one specific article that is not what you are referring to. Criticizing one (unread?) article based on perceived faults of one other completely unrelated article -- and without mentioning even the slightest content from the article in question -- does not seem like a logical thing to do.
