      So, this is an essay about a liberal guy thinking its necessary to challenge the left from his centerish zone. Let's dig into something important here. One of the key differences between leftism and liberalism. Here we go.

      Liberalism is individualistic. It celebrates personal ambition, pride and the self-love. It is, by its nature, narcissistic. It tells you: being all about your damn fool self is good, even though you're probably, really, just an average human schmuck like the rest of us.

      Leftism is, when done right, about everyone. It's collective, collaborative, & celebrates *selflessness* instead of *selfishness*. It says: Get out of your own asshole. Other people matter too. Try to get where they're coming from. Try to have compassion for your fellow humans.

      So... when you see people bloviate in this manner about how they as liberals need to push back against leftism? Keep that in mind. The person they are really looking out for... is them. Just them. Nobody else.

      This reads like if a poor man’s Jonathan Chait didn’t have an editor. What a horrible essay. Also completely devoid of actual politics, his recommendations are to “stop the name calling and campus hijinks”

      Apparently, @HPluckrose was his editor. She's gracing muh mentions as we speak.

      Not for much longer. You are nuts. Calm down. Or don't. It won't bother me. Your call. I won't see it.

      You keep telling me to calm down. And you're calling me nuts. Who needs to calm down, exactly? Here's a theory. What if you're miffed because maybe, just maybe, there's a decent point made in this silly little Twitter thread and you, as an editor, missed it?

      I disagree with your point and the ratings do too. But I thank you for raising it and if many (or any) other people say they prefer more removed pieces, I'll take it under advisement.

          So if you're gonna start making the case that "What's popular on my small corner of the Internet is also what's right," we may as well quit now. You are definitely not taking what I say under advisement. I can deal with a difference of opinion but don't lie to me. LOL
