andrew sullivan c/d

i mean it's _worth asking_ (assuming you, for whatever reason, haven't given the idea serious thought before) why some minority groups are more well-off than others. though it's probably a more appropriate question for google.com than an op-ed

I'm not sure what 'primary question' exactly is being talked about here, like

why have asian-americans been so successful in many way = question worth asking

does asian-american success prove that racism is actually nbd = question not worth asking

though I got the impression that Aimless was talking about the former?

Asian-American and Jewish men are not seen as threats to white male supremacy

I’ve always felt a little insecure about my homosexuality because I’ve never really understood camp. Well, I do understand it as a concept; it just doesn’t come naturally to me.

And is it any wonder that reactionaries are gaining strength? Within the space of 50 years OR SO SINCE REAGAN SLASHED TAXES ON THE RICH, America has gone from segregation to dizzying multiculturalism; from traditional family structures to widespread divorce, cohabitation, and sexual liberty; from a few respected sources of information to an endless stream of peer-to-peer media; from careers in one company for life to an ever-accelerating need to retrain and regroup; from a patriarchy to (incomplete) gender equality; from homosexuality as a sin to homophobia as a taboo; from Christianity being the common culture to a secularism no society has ever sustained before ours.

speaking of reactionary

I don't wanna cross-pollinate too much between the stupid people thread and this one, but this New York magazine gig has really hammered home for me how well the old description "a stupid person's idea of a smart person" applies to Sullivan. He's superficially well-read, and can write a whole sentence with no punctuation errors in it, but he's a fucking imbecile.

Of course, as a lot of people have pointed out on twitter already, the Dems already offered him the wall a couple of times in their big immigration reform deals, and he refused it.

Honestly. Andrew Sullivan is tiresome. You can't have that high church pomposity yet celebrate yourself as a heretic. It comes out as a wash.

Fun lil' thread here

Holy cow. Sullivan got a federal simple possession charge tossed because he was rich and famous and his citizenship application was pending. Now he wants a wall. https://t.co/MvEk2PH61l

I accidentally read a few paragraphs of this without checking the byline at all and I was like who is this catastrophizing accelerationist madman writing for nymag? Jesus he's fucking lost it. I knew this when he was obsessing over the Palin children, but why is he still getting paid by anyone to write this lunatic dribble?

andrew sullivan’s newest column is complete garbage and i’m embarrassed to be even tangentially associated with it

Everyone's dunking on Andrew Sullivan but you can hardly blame him for his feeble attempt to reason when he's cursed with the sloping brow and shallow brainpan of an Irishman.

lolll

Hate this overpaid asshole

a bologna sandwich with a British accent

https://splinternews.com/andrew-sullivan-can-fuck-right-off-1828090872

so repulsive.

to see what is in front of one's nose needs a constant struggle

he is a middle-aged adult and he has been getting paid for 15 or however many years to indulge his fetishization of white masculinity in a weekly column. it's so empty, stupid and disgusting.

as a male-presenting queer with facial hair who is attracted to power and masculine bodies i at least appreciate his existence as a lesson about mistakes not to make. many people just cannot see beyond their own asshole and the last thing one of those people should become is a pundit.

i'm told he's written a climate piece

does he still need Daddy

How to suck themselves?

Worst person ever.

i used to read sullivan's atlantic blog daily. a lot can change in 12 years.

I got off the ride back when he was losing his shit about some conspiracy theory involving Sarah Palin’s grandchild. The man’s not well.

Apparently I make the same post every time this thread gets bumped.

She decided to include what she calls a "myth" about "large sex organs" among African-Americans. As a test to see just how fact-checked these essays were, I merely asked her what sources she had that this is indeed a "myth." 2/

I realize that your brain has been broken ever since TNC surpassed you in acclaim as an essayist and wrote books people actually bought and read, but re-embracing race pseudoscience invented by slavemasters is not the way to validate yourself.

I spent a rather long afternoon with Andrew Sullivan at Christopher Hitchens' place ages ago. It was Father's Day. Sully was a condescending dick. From all the noise, I'm guessing that's still the case.
