"Rolling Stone Editor Unloads On Media, Says ‘The American Left Has Lost Its Mind’.."

Rolling Stone magazine is a liberal rag, and editor Matt Taibbi is unquestionably a liberal. And yet, by some miracle, Taibbi has seen the light and isn’t afraid to point out what is so clearly obvious to conservatives.
“It feels liberating to say after years of tiptoeing around the fact, but the American left has lost its mind,” Taibbi wrote. “It’s become a cowardly mob of upper-class social media addicts, Twitter Robespierres who move from discipline to discipline torching reputations and jobs with breathtaking casualness.”
The leaders of this new movement are replacing traditional liberal beliefs about tolerance, free inquiry, and even racial harmony with ideas so toxic and unattractive that they eschew debate, moving straight to shaming, threats, and intimidation,” Taibbi continued.
They’ve conned organization after organization into empowering panels to search out thoughtcrime, and it’s established now that anything can be an offense, from a UCLA professor placed under investigation for reading Martin Luther King’s “Letter from a Birmingham Jail” out loud to a data scientist fired* from a research firm for — get this — retweeting an academic study suggesting nonviolent protests may be more politically effective than violent ones!
Taibbi then examined what’s been happening within the media itself. “By my count, at least eight news organizations dealt with internal uprisings (it was likely more). Most involved groups of reporters and staffers demanding the firing or reprimand of colleagues who’d made politically ‘problematic’ editorial or social media decisions.” Taibbi lamented at the Intercept writer Lee Fang being denounced as a racist for daring to ask if a black life only matters when a white man takes it. The outrage that followed forced Fang to make a public apology.
 
It appears his last remaining brain cell showed a spark of life.

It will be dead or go back to dormancy soon after the calls and emails start.
 
The crap going on is waking up quite a few democrats. Quite a few of them have had their businesses burned by members of their own party. One of my friends who bought a business and almost lost it during Obama is doing so good now he realized it is Trump and has switched parties. Last time I talked to him he said the democratic party is the party of slave owners and they are destroying the history to hide their crimes from the black people. I about fell over.

This will be one of the worst summers in American history and the country is either getting some sanity back this fall or it will be another civil war which will be remembered forever. I believe we are witnessing the death of the democrat party as we know it and this is their last pathetic stand.

I hope so. I can really use some respite.

I feel like I am living in equal parts:

This while mess has really woken up a lot of people. My wife included. She’s from a super liberal family out of the Bay Area. While not she’s not really political herself, she has gone her whole life simply accepting what the media and Hollywood tells her to believe without question. So her basic worldview is definately left of center. When I tried to explain to her that to the media/Hollywood thought that white men were the devil as evidenced by everything they put out, she would roll her eyes and make sarcastic remarks implying I’m insane. I couldn’t make any impression on her.

Since this whole black lives matter blowup, she is now the one pointing out how the media is making it out to be a problem of all white people. She is actually pissed about it. She has mostly stopped watching news and infotainment shows as to her they are now blatantly biased.
 
It's funny because the left has used the term "woke" to describe those who are informed as to the truth of the injustice in the world, but they're willfully ignorant and living in a daydream. The real woke people are those who are truly waking up to the insanity and realizing they're not as much of a Democrat as they thought they were.

No matter how low I feel throughout all this craziness, I just keep reminding myself that this is going to backfire for all those people trying to remake our country. They are a loud minority, but the majority is slowly unifying. Emphasis on slowly.
 
Maybe this will be the turning point for a lot of people, Rolling Stone used to be a great read 30+ years ago
