This is another dodge. You’re not dealing with the facts any better than GGG. This is a sidestep.
The fact is Weiss is a decent writer who was forced to work among zealots. She’s a provocateur only because the left is so unhinged. She’s actually kind of dull and conventional.
If Hitchens were alive today he and Rushdie would’ve destroyed the purveyors of the New Truth. If Wolfe were alive, he’d have satirized them brutally.
But those voices are sadly long gone.
We must have some elitism. The virtue signaling left is filled with too many people cruising on sentiment and fervor. It’s not the smart set in the debate. Not by a long shot. But zealots are rarely smart. Hoffer’s True Believer lays that bare. Movements can’t abide thinkers because thinkers question. We must say it say it plainly: Cancel Culture is Low Culture. It should be ignored, as it is too dumb to warrant engagement.
