This thread—which reaches its riotously discrediting climax by describing Bernie-supporting, Vox-podcasting @mattyglesias as a "fancy Rush Limbaugh"—is one of the dumbest things you'll ever read on this site.

Basically what's happening is that you have a Twitter subculture incapable of interpreting disagreement with progressive identitarian conceptions of race as anything other than red-pilled reactionary Limbaughism.
This group has lost the capacity to intelligently discriminate among the various forms of dissent they come across online. You've reached galactic levels of absurdity when your grand theory is that Matt Yglesias is Rush Limbaugh with a smile.
The author egregiously begs the question, and tips his hand, by equating the manifestly justified belief that today's political correctness strictures are a bit heavy-handed with the obviously morally horrifying view that "a little racism and homophobia are okay."
Roundabout way of saying, "Think political correctness is a problem? Think cancel culture is real? Why are you basically Tucker Carlson?"
"Oh, '#AbolishPrisons' sounds 'unworkable' to you? You think 'looting' is morally problematic, do you? I'm sorry, I didn't realize I was having a conversation with SEAN PATRICK HANNITY!"
