This guy didn’t like the NYT piece but his critique is hilariously orthogonal to the one everyone else is making.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/934594494460317696 …

I am the first one to laugh when someone gets nutmegged by a non-Western personal name, so I deserve some time in hell for this.

And yeah my point is largely orthogonal to the emergent theme...

I think the author’s misgivings about the piece are essentially journalistic. Every reporter wants a “Bam, there’s my juicy lede” moment.

If the idea is to provide a cut-&-dried magic explanation of how fascists are made, it’s an unsatisfying piece. I don’t think it’s without “social dynamics”.

To me, profiles are useful if they shed light on larger questions, represent the movement. This one was, umm, here’s a nazi, he shops? A few things that are already very well understood, but even those barely.

Lack of juicy lede is okay, covering the mundane or the banality of evil stuff is okay. But put in some depth!
