This guy has obviously grown tired of drawing a paycheck.

It’s even dumber than Mein Kampf. But maybe “dumb” is not the right word.

Matt Tiabbi has been on fire recently. I think the scales dropped from his hippie, leftist eyes, and the effects of the Matrix’ blue pill are wearing off.

I guessed the author in question from the headline. Matt Taibbi is "woke" all right, he woke up one morning and found the ideological tribe to which he'd subscribed for decades has become tiresome, vicious, hate-obsessed, anti-intellectual, and irredeemably racist.

It sees the human being as locked into one of three categories: members of oppressed groups, allies, and white oppressors.

Yes, it does, and the price of refuge in the moral sanctum sanctorum of "ally" is abject and incessant groveling. This is truly ugly stuff - it is precisely the sort of hate propaganda that pervaded 1930's Germany, and the Jews found out that all "ally" could and would be retracted at will in favor of a gas chamber queue. Every single day passing gets us deeper into Aryan race theory in blackface and it isn't slowing down. Qui bono? Race agitators and seminar charlatans are making a killing, pun not necessarily intended. The money's in corporations and academic institutions, and they fall for this sort of stuff like dominoes on a paint shaker. White Fragility is making its author a very wealthy woman. And you will purchase it, citizen, and you will attend the seminars or you'll be fired.

Interesting, as Rolling Stone has been a part of the problem for a long time, a few P.J. O’Rourke columns notwithstanding.

When you buy into the premise, you’re kind of forced to follow it to its conclusions. An insane premise will lead inevitably to insane results. So it’s no wonder some of these liberals are conflicted.

Something that has been on my mind since I first heard of “white fragility”. If “whitey fragility” exists, then by reason “black fragility” must exist as well. How else can you explain the over the top tantrum blacks throw when ever someone throws real facts out about where the real racism in the country exists.

I’ve heard good thing about Taibbi, but that said, I’m not clicking on a Rolling Stone link ever since “A Rape On Campus”. If he has any self-respect, and if he truly is a good journalist, he should quit and work for a legitimate organization.

Matt Tiabbi has been writing some very conservatives articles lately-last several years to be exact.

Wonder what changed him.

If your category is “white,” bad news: you have no identity apart from your participation in white supremacy (“Anti-blackness is foundational to our very identities… Whiteness has always been predicated on blackness”), which naturally means “a positive white identity is an impossible goal.”

DiAngelo instructs us there is nothing to be done here, except “strive to be less white.” To deny this theory, or to have the effrontery to sneak away from the tedium of DiAngelo’s lecturing – what she describes as “leaving the stress-inducing situation” – is to affirm her conception of white supremacy. This intellectual equivalent of the “ordeal by water” (if you float, you’re a witch) is orthodoxy across much of academia.

Volkish Race Theorists such as Arthur Rosenberg made the same arguments as intellectual rationalization for the Final Solution and the deliberate starvation of Slavs. This sort of toxic brew should be treated seriously. It is potent philosophical hydrophobia and provides average people with a rationale to perform mass murders.

Because it is explicitly racist?

I wonder if White Fragility was published early enough in the year for the author to be in the running for the Nobel Prize in Literature.
