It's aside the author's point, but this note is killing me.

Beneath its humdrum requests, every email said more or less the same thing: Can you explain how reading certain things can turn a person into a socialist—and, possibly, a terrorist-sympathizing antisemite? It’s a storied gambit of the right at its most grimly predictable. “People read Foucault,” the redoubtable David Brooks once wrote, in an actual column that I’ve all but committed to memory, “and develop an alienated view of the world.”

Okay, so where's all the discourse about Trump keeping a copy of Mein Kampf on his nightstand, Times? If reading Foucault gives you an "alienated world view," and you take issue with Mamdani engaging with "African studies," the fuck does that make Hitler-loving Trump?

I know, I know, the double standard is the point, and the goal was never to make an honest argument but... Come on! grumble grumble

Your suggested changes completely change the tone of, and remove the personality from, the sentence you're suggesting changes to.

He also does nothing wrong with his use of subordinate clauses, here or throughout the article.

I'm inclined to say that the English department head in UIC (University of Illinois Chicago, Google thinks?) understands subordinate clauses much better than you or I. I only have a bachelor in English and teach at the high school level, so I'd default to assuming he knows better than I. Though I agree with his use of language, so that's kind of a moot point.

I really don't think I could disagree more. My man actually writes with a sense of tone, uses a dismissive sarcasm to express his concern and disdain over the fact that suddenly a pile of "interested parties" need dirt on Mamdani, and you're here with a take like this.

Mass media is normally written at a 5th grade level. This should insult you, not train you to read at that level.

I too like to criticize the results of unchecked Capitalism using the tools created by unchecked capitalism as it continues to suck resources meant for living creatures.

"All brown people are terrorists" is probably not the take to pull voters from Mamdani. The racists already weren't voting for him.

I just want them gone. I don't care if death is how they get there. Society can just turn on them and have their assets siezed as they rapidly fade into obscurity, or they can be tossed in a jail and largely left to rot, save for some cases of extreme reconditioning.

I won't wish death on anyone. But sometimes, it does feel like the most readily accessible means to a good end.

Oh. Nevermind. Carry on, then.

That's because the Discord in question and these supposed shared practices are thing a particular circle of friends maintain and do. Not something that is representative of a widespread cultural group.

There's no spiritual movement about masturbating for hours to reach a state of Goonvana, or whatever the fuck this garbage article wants to call it. There's just people who are sick of being shamed for masturbating and otherwise celebrating sexual attraction to icons, so they've created a term to function as a point of counter culture. That's it. This article tries to paint it as this unique, organized, wide-reaching cultural movement, and it's just not.

What a weird fucking article. Dude acts like he's cracked the code on "gooning" and breaks it down to this strange, cult-like movement. It's just slang for sexual obsession. That's it.

Big "the hacker known as 4chan" energy from this article.
