It’s the line that went through my head when Gawker editorial staff interacted with me about the Deadspin headline: https://twitter.com/joeljohnson/status/449657842770141184 …
Back to David BY Lee: “America tries constantly to ignore the weak and break the strong. Korea has no love for itself or for the others.”

In the Lee essay he talks a bit about his friend who says to him, “I think white people are just better” and then has a mental break.
-
“this is a crazy-making environment” — we call each other hysterical, we call each other crazy, we call each other gooks.
-
our identity is too twisted-up, maybe too broken, for meaningful pride or meaningful solidarity.
-
I thought a lot about how the click-centric, ad-driven model of journalism had broken down the marketplace of ideas.
-
But when it comes down to it — as gross and worrisome as the click-centric model is — it’s rather irrelevant.
-
There are a lot of click-centric publications out there, & a great many would never, ever publish something with “gooks” in the headline.
-
There’s a smug sociopathy that’s set in at Gawker, and I suppose their profit model encourages it — but it’s not the cause.
-
That mindset existed long ago. We knew it well from the playgrounds of our childhoods.
-
I guess the only thing to be surprised about is that our bullies can make money off our misery, now.
