Few things have made me more sympathetic to burn-it-all-down Marxism than reading this account of a media elite party nymag.com/intelligencer/…
Imagine being at a party with the guy who made Mad Men and the publisher of the New York Times and spending it whining about people who are mean to you on Twitter
Look, I agree that the culture of this site is pretty toxic. But the degree of self-pity among centrist elites, casting the powerless as oppressors rather than reflecting on the merits of their critique, is kind of disgusting.

I have listened to a recording of Wax's talk and spoken with others who attended it. This thread is incorrect — were you there, Yoram? — and I stand by my original reporting. Will likely be writing more on this, and the revealing parts of Yoram's arguments here.
Here is the surrounding context for Wax's comments. It's excruciatingly clear that she is endorsing an immigration system that (in effect) prefers whites over non-whites
The speech also began with her saying "Conservatives need a realistic approach to immigration that...preserves the United States as a Western and First World nation.” It concludes with this passage:

@wdunlap “Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, #Trump dismissed his past appearances with #Epstein …Epstein’s personal little black book, leaked by an employee in 2009, contained 14 phone numbers for Trump, his wife, Melania, and several people who worked for him.”

@wdunlap “But even beyond #Trump’s own words further up, there’s a good deal of evidence the two were friendly social acquaintances at least through the early 2000s”

“Trump called #Epstein twice in November 2004, according to message pads seized”

nymag.com/intelligencer/… What I can’t get past with Boghossian and his jackass crew is this: They have an obsessive hatred of academic fields that a) don’t involve them b) never did anything to hurt them and c) they could simply ignore if they wanted to. And yet….
Boghossian is so filled with spite and hate for departments that have nothing to do with him that he and his buddies concocted a spiteful hoax meant only to humiliate people that, I cannot reiterate enough, did nothing to him. Despite all this….
Boghossian has the nerve to accuse anyone else of “grievance studies”. Let’s be clear: Someone in this situation has a ridiculous grievance they shouldn’t have that they are wasting their life away on. It’s Boghossian.

nymag.com/intelligencer/… I don’t know why there’s still so much unwillingness to even accept the possibility that Trump is simply working for Putin.

On the contrary, I’d say it’s the only explanation that really makes sense.
Again, as @maddow pointed out last night, Trump has a long habit of parroting downright obscure talking points that come straight from Putin, often referencing countries he probably didn’t even know existed.
And, as Chait himself notes, this comes right as Russia is about to declare they were always right to invade Afghanistan.

And Trump has already been caught trying to backchannel with Putin:
