    Austen Allred Retweeted Michael Tracey

    Understanding journalists' opinion of things becomes a lot easier when you realize that a lot of them actually actually believe in Marx's understanding of Class Strugglehttps://twitter.com/mtracey/status/1038083400572256256 …

    Aside from the fact that he’s a billionaire which is intrinsically offensive, not sure I understand the widespread contempt for Elon Musk

        Except for the fact that Marx's theories are science. Nice try though.

        Well, dialetics is a method in social sciences and linguistics and both of them are science, so :)

        Well, yes. I'm a linguistic myself and Marx's concise theories are the foundation of our scientific studies of language/discourse and so on.

        Also easy when you consider the complete lack of domain expertise and experience most possess regarding the subjects they write about. Incentives always matter. Our current system doesn't incentivize credibility. It incentivizes content volume, clicks, traffic, and controversy.

        As far as I remember from school the ones that opted for journalism were pretty clueless and often idealistic. Explains why the various "green movements" have such a strong support. It wasn't uncommon with envy towards more successful nerds. Explains the attitude towards Elon.

        Lumping Michael Tracey in with "journalists" might not give you the representative sample you think you have.

        Also you don't have to read Marx to find that kind of wealth disparity offensive. You could go to say the Bible (or for that matter the BoM).

        There's not much to believe in, it's really just them not willing to do math.
