ptsdthor already mentioned this piece, but I think it deserves its own thread. Please read and respond. I will mention that according to what I know the author is by no means a conservative. www.bariweiss.com/resignation-letterAzWm

I will mention that according to what I know the author is by no means a conservative. www.bariweiss.com/resignation-letterAzWm I like Bari, she's been on Bill Maher a few times. This is her problem, she is a a moderate and a free thinker. Somebody like that gets killed at the New York Times and she would get killed at Breitbart etc. The country is going into tribal warfare and the extreme nut cases are taking over. This country is basically becoming ungovernable. |

Regardless if we can determine Weiss's world view by reviewing her Op Ed's (as is the case with every other Op Ed writer in the world), the fact is that the NYT and similar media outlets effectively only allows one orthodox leftist world view to be heard by their readers/viewers. Even anti-Trump Neocons are out, it seems, as the NYT is only in touch with the woke mob and out of touch with the rest of America. |

I don't know, maybe I should take a closer look at her positions..just saw her on Maher a couple times. I'm just trying to survive in this nutcase country! |

ps: In 1970's Future Shock by Tofler, the premise was that in the future, societal and technological changes would occur so rapidly that entire segments of the population would basically go insane and be unable to cope. Add to that, passing to the other side of critical mass and exceeding carrying capacity by the early 1970's...add a dose of coronavirus and trumpenstein to accelerate the pain and damage...and we are close to a combination of Blade Runner, Idiocrscy and Mad Max.

You can see the NYT either trying to downplay the increased violence in large US cities that have been affected by the BLM/Antifa riots/protests as somehow being a temporary phenomenon until alternative policing magically kicks in (  ) and/or tries to shift the blame back to the police who are now not there for them because their just punishment for past sins. These cities are like turds swirling in a toilet bowl. Unless they stop the flow of idiocy, they are going down the tubes but just don't know it yet. messaging-custom-newsletters.nytimes.com/template/oakv2?campaign_id=9&emc=edit_nn_20200716&instance_id=20351&nl=the-morning&productCode=NN®i_id=133700128&segment_id=33535&te=1&uri=nyt%3A%2F%2Fnewsletter%2Fa0d80d1d-aa4c-57df-9d77-17574c748107&user_id=042cc3af07528c5573cc7663434d914bwww.nytimes.com/2020/07/16/nyregion/nyc-shootings-nypd.html?te=1&nl=the-morning&emc=edit_nn_20200716Somehow, its never the fault of the clueless leftist clowns that organized/directed the riots/protests, wrongly demanded the defunding of the police, withdrew legal and moral support for the police, looked the other way or condoned the violence in the riots and against the police, intimidated law enforcement, is or is backed by anti-police leftist city administration, released the criminals (~Covid, Bail Reform, lack of prosecution), etc, etc. Thinking the vacuum left by undermining the police would not be filled with anything other than crime (and probably soon to be well organized crime) is pure idiocy. And they are even writing newspaper articles to prove and codify their idiocy. |

Not surprising you saw her on Maher, he's an Islamophobe as well. I usually see eye to eye with him, but just like many Americans, for him Islam has become a convenient deflective boogieman. |

thefederalist.com/2020/07/23/new-fbi-notes-re-debunk-major-nyt-story-highlight-media-collusion-to-produce-russia-hoax/Pulitzer prizes were awarded to NYT Journalists publishing anonymous and uncorroborated claims against Trump and his campaign that were generally proven to be false with the Mueller Investigation. These articles animated the entire left with a false narrative that cost the the nation an incalculable loss. Loss of respect for our institutions, depending on your perspective, that includes Politicians, Government Civil Servants (DoJ, Intel Agencies, Law Enforcement), News Media, fellow voters, etc, etc. In the past, NYT Times Journalist have been awarded the Pulitzer Prize while publishing Stalinist propaganda regarding the Communist party's manufactured Ukrainian Famine and generally down-played the Holocaust during WWII, so we see the more things change, the more they stay the same.
