taibbi and other anti-"woke" liberals are now just re-posting dave rubin/jordan peterson/intellectual dark web trash, and, just like them, imagine themselves waging a Heroic Battle against Evil Cultural Marxism. they can't admit they're just shadow-boxing with other liberals
dave rubin did the whole "wow did you know intersectionality is actual racism bc it locks people into their identity boxes? this stuff comes from postmodernism! wild!" shit years ago, and now taibbi is serving up a warmed-up version of it while thinking he's breaking new ground
anyway, just as with the "intellectual dark web" versus "woke liberal" wars, it's all just a spectacle. sam harris/bret weinstein/jordan peterson and deray/roxane gay/nikole-hannah jones are all biden democrats separated one or two degrees to the left or right of each other
and they all despise the actual left. I wrote a bit more about it in this thread
lmao in his latest deranged screed taibbi links to a tweet from an account with 147 followers as an example of "cancelling" someone, and compares it to north korea and stalinist russia. again, these media class liberals are driven purely by unhinged petty-bourgeois neuroses
