struggling to understand how this helps the @nytimes. even in the least charitable read, this is a deeply cynical but strategically foolish move.

The Hard Left has organization and to an extent numbers. The Hard Right, generally, does not (Not always a good thing). The NYT doxxing Tucker is a TCP call to organizations to hurt his kids. Tucker doxxing NYT is a UDP call to crazy randos who don't live in NYC.

can the times possibly believe they can control how such incitement plays out, suffer minimally in legal or extralegal backlash, and come out ahead? i sometimes wonder if people remember that civil society is one of two options.

Yes, up to a point. That's what I mean by "organizations". If you want to burn somebody's car, you have people who want to burn cars, lawyers who bail them out of jail, and people running coordination. (Whole thing is good but scroll down until pic)https://archive.is/87OEG

i'm not sure which picture you meant. i don't currently take these screeds seriously. do you think, for instance, that they infiltrated the hugo awards or that nk jemisin is an excellent author? perhaps both. i think the latter. i've liked her books a great deal.

When they get to the end and start talking about burning Nazi's (tbf, AFD leaders) cars as a relevant tactic as well as the Spencer punch. There's more control on the Left than the Right. Not *quite* 100%. But some. /s/screed/tactical manualpic.twitter.com/4BkyYK6CDo

i'll consider your points, but i'm still skeptical of the level of organization claimed. robust enough to coordinate legal rescue of arsonists, but not so clever to just have arsonists on payroll seems a thin needle.

It's a loose network of orgs. Some of the orgs *absolutely* have arsonists on payroll. Hence "People who want to burn cars". So the crazy bombers would do crazy bombings and then call up their friends at the National Guild of Lawyers. Different org.

Replying to @poiThePoi @thesravaka and
And because it's not _one_ org, there's mild coordination problems. Which get, in this case, handled by thought leaders using the NYT to give orders. PS: If you're thinking "This sounds like Al-Qaeda", yeah it totally does. Because it is.

al-qaeda was an innovative organizational structure, as i understand. i vaguely recall that they were not the true pioneers, but i digress. am i right to presume that what you are talking about fits into a cathedral narrative?
