10. Bari Weiss, viewed charitably, is trying to something similar to what
@DouthatNYT does: act as translator/mediator between right-wing subcultures and NYT centrist/liberal subculture. But these translation/mediations are always fraught.Show this thread -
11. Douthat's notorious robot sex column can be seen as case where translation/mediation failed because readers took him as sympathizing with incels & trying to mainstream their concerns. That's usual danger of liminal figure; to be seen as representing other side.
