Vox’s Matthew Yglesias Can ‘Empathize’ With Violence Against The Wife Of A Conservative dailycaller.com/2018/11/08/mat… via @dailycaller
One of the 'brightest mind' of Vox Media tweeted another enlightening aphorism Thursday defending the violent protest against co-founder and conservative journalist Tucker Carlson.
Matthew Yglesias, known for defending aspects of the Third Reich and dressing up as an Islamic terrorist, said he “honestly cannot empathize with Tucker Carlson’s wife” after members of Antifa swarmed her home and cracked the front door Wednesday night.
In his justification of the thugs’ tactics, Yglesias cited Carlson’s “victims” as if he was referring to Charles Manson or the Son of Sam rather than a cable news show host.
His remarks are consistent with the perverse moral worldview he has promoted in the past. In 2013, Yglesias felt the need to tell parents that former President Barack Obama’s children are more important than yours.
Perhaps Yglesias didn’t think Antifa’s behavior was a big deal considering his belief that private property is a myth. To him, a crack in Carlson’s front door is no different than a broken printer at the Department of Motor Vehicles.
Something tells me, however, that if a bunch of fashion critics decided to raid Yglesias’s $1,000,000-plus D.C. townhouse in Logan Circle, he’d start reciting the writings of John Locke as they knocked down his door.
Vox didn’t respond to a request for comment.
Their silence can be excused considering employees over there have been busy publishing fascinating today insights like “How to succeed in business by being a Taylor Swift fan,” “The stubborn irrelevance of the Victoria’s Secret fashion show,” and “How to protest Trump."
Neither did @NBCUniversal, which has pumped hundreds of millions of dollars into Vox Media. Yet one could take its silence as a tacit approval of excusing violence against the families of journalists. It should let its shareholders know.
Yglesias’s remarks are just another indictment against the left-wing technocrats who wish to run this country and simply don’t wish to protect the interests and rights of all Americans.
