Don’t you feel like a robot at this point by just calling someone a racist without any explanation...especially in response to an article that is writing against mindless cancel culture.

I dream about buying the nytimes and shutting it down. I’ve thought of this so many times. As a nice daydream. In the same whimsical tone of the article. I honestly feel like I share the emotion of the author. I could write for hours about

NYT is addictive as hell though. You can't look away, whether you are liberal or moderate. Log on as a moderate and you will rage that the "paper of record" can spin such lies and obvious bias. Log on as a progressive and you
