Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

This is the first (real) statement in the piece after the shameless plug and then a shittily written intro.
I'm not reading any more. Gun to my head, and the hand might be my own in this scenario, you couldn't make me do it.
They start out quoting a war criminal with a name I absolutely refuse to believe isn't a spelling mistake for Jed or Jeb!. He's praising, in order, another war criminal (CIA), a "anti-genocide genocide supporter" (Power, fake ass stupid name again), and a person I've never heard of but Wikipedia describes as a venture capitalist ex-governor current commerce secretary aka sounds like a FUCKING FINANCIAL CRIMINAL.
Like is this a joke to these fucksticks at this point. Quoting some Nazi-ass who proceeds to list three of the most disgusting criminal Nazi-asses in the government of the president as if it this is a good thing. Someone, please, shoot me. Holy fuck. Holy fuck.
Ross Douthat obviously sucks and doesn't attack that position because it's an endorsement of other ghouls who have no business near the levers of power, but he does go on to argue against the council-of-ghouls concept in a surprise to me and anyone else who's internalized Betteridge's Law.
I did accidentally scroll down and saw him arguing with a monarchist. I can't even begin to engage with that without typing more unhinged shit
