Armin Rosen: "The New Yorker's Cavalcade of Ignorance"

You had me (heading for the door) at Timothy Snyder...

That alone is just about enough to convince me that I don't need to read this.

I used to read this stuff assiduously, thinking I had an obligation to carefully consider the roughly-other side in this culture war...but even this second-hand account reminds me why I've done so less and less.

Both/all sides have their wackos and wackiness...

...but that smug, vaporous, condescending, pseudointellectual bullshit you get on the left...I'm just done with it.

The kind of bullshit you find on the right just irritates me a lot less at the moment.
