Before this, of course, media involvement is the only way. Media involvement is what led to success in the pornhub case.

The media is actively supporting Reddit's side on all this.

Mainstream media has been infiltrated by identitarians. The freaking editor in chief of the New York Times resigned because her own staff were slandering her and calling her a nazi. She just did a big expose about critical race theory in schools, which I promise you would never have been published in the NYT

For most parents, the demonization of capitalism is the least of it. They say that their children tell them they’re afraid to speak up in class. Most of all, they worry that the school’s new plan to become an “anti-racist institution”—unveiled this July, in a 20-page document—is making their kids fixate on race and attach importance to it in ways that strike them as grotesque.

.

“The school can ask you to leave for any reason,” said one mother at Brentwood, another Los Angeles prep school. “Then you’ll be blacklisted from all the private schools and you’ll be known as a racist, which is worse than being called a murderer.”

.

What does it say about the current state of that meritocracy, then, that it wants kids fluent in critical race theory and “white fragility,” even if such knowledge comes at the expense of Shakespeare? “The colleges want children—customers—that are going to be pre-aligned to certain ideologies that originally came out of those colleges,” says a STEM teacher at one of New York’s prestigious prep schools. “I call it woke-weaning. And that’s the product schools like mine are offering.”

Hey hey now. Let's not pretend that Bari Weiss is some kind of friend. She's a neocon warmonger. On Joe Rogan she called Tulsi Gabbard an ‘Assad Toady.’ And when Rogan challenged her she didn't even know what a toady was. It was just something she heard, and she repeated it without understanding what it meant.

She's Jewish and a Zionist. We may have a common enemy temporarily, but do not for one moment think she is on Team USA. She's not.

It's funny that you would call her a Zionist and other people call her a nazi. Anyway I'm not here to argue about her, I just think it's notable that even the EIC of a newspaper like NYT felt like they were stifled, that says a lot. I brought up the other story as an example of what she apparently couldn't write about while still working there.

In 2018, Weiss and Stephens responded to a critic who had called them “Zionist fanatics of near-unhinged proportions.” The two retorted: “The word ‘near’ should not have been a part of the sentence. Otherwise, we happily plead guilty as charged.”

She’s a neo-con and no friend to anyone.

A closer look at the events surrounding Bari Weiss’ resignation suggests she omitted some critical details about her toxic presence inside the paper, and may have staged her resignation to drum up publicity for her next move.
