Academics and journalists on here steal the creative content of anons, give no attribution...but worse, they SANITIZE it. For example: the Bureaucrat repopularized Lasch, as well as Cuddihy, many other things. Taibbi and Anna K steal this, claim as their own, sanitize it
Facelords--academics, journalists on the make--are unwilling to call out, e.g. blaq or sexual-identity narcissism; or to criticize the idolatry of the Holocaust or similar. They steal creative, funny content from anons and turn it into another lame "critique of NEOLIBERALISM."
An intolerable shiftiness...I would ask facelords who read us to have honor, but they have none, so instead I remind others what goes on here. Funny, unusual content from frogs and anons gets repackaged as another boring pseudoMarxist critique of "deep state" or neoliberalism
It takes NO COURAGE to criticize the abstraction of "neoliberalism," which is the vague enemy of Marxism, "Capital," under another word. The leftoid podcasters, the facelords who approach this never dare to touch the real taboos of the age; they're sycophants of academics, media
The posters who actually have ideas, humor, who come up with daring attaqs on establishment religion--the frogs--are happy to have others steal memes and spread them. But facelords not only do so without attribution, they water it down to reinforce academic-media fixations
What must it feel like to only have one half-original lame idea every few years, to have to jealously guard it, to have to take from others under the table? I wouldn't know!
