• MEDIA: The End of Progressive Intellectual Life

    From John D Groenveld@21:1/5 to All on Sat Apr 23 13:45:01 2022
    H/T Morris Dees and $PLC certified deplorable, Mark Krikorian, and
    his deplorable co-option of Paul Singer's website,
    Twitter.COM/MarkSKrikorian, see Michael Lind for Tablet on whether
    Donald Trump regrets taking Jared Kushner's advice to downplay the
    National Question on the campaign stump against Joe Biden and Kamala
    Harris: <URL:https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/the-end-of-progressive-intellectual-life>
    | Back in 2015, Ezra Klein, then editor of the "progressive" outlet
    | Vox, asked Sen. Bernie Sanders about the idea of "sharply raising
    | the level of immigration we permit, even up to a level of open
    | borders." Sanders replied in alarm: "Open borders? No, that's a Koch
    | brothers proposal." The lobby FWD.us, funded by Facebook and other
    | large tech corporations that prefer hiring indentured servants (H-
    | 1Bs) bound to their employers instead of free American citizen-
    | workers and legal immigrants, denounced Sanders for holding "the
    | totally-debunked notion that immigrants coming to the U.S. are
    | taking jobs and hurting Americans." Vox then published an article by
    | Dylan Matthews titled "Bernie Sanders's fear of immigrant labor is
    | ugly--and wrong-headed." "If I could add one amendment to the
    | Constitution," Matthews declared, "it would be the one Wall Street
    | Journal editorial page editor Robert Bartley once proposed: 'There
    | shall be open borders.'" In 2018, the progressive author Angela
    | Nagle was canceled by Progressivism Inc. when she published an essay
    | in American Affairs, "The Left Case Against Open Borders." By 2020,
    | when Matthew Yglesias, a co-founder of Vox, published One Billion
    | Americans, the purging of dissidents and the fusion of the
    | Progressivism Inc. party line on immigration with the anti-union,
    | cheap-labor policies favored by The Wall Street Journal and Silicon
    | Valley was complete.

    Will Bill Stepien invite Kevin Lynn's network of legacy American proles sacrificed to the Cheap Labor Lobby onto Save America PAC campaign
    stages?

    its leadership includes the most anti-populist voices from the Trump Administration--those who fought tooth and nail against Trump's
    tough stance on China, immigration, and law enforcement." - Austin
