The radicalization isn't going to stop. At some point, institutions have to decide whether they're going to keep playing the game with "both sides"-isms or simply refuse to hand platforms to white supremacists and quasi fascists. This has never been about censorship. There are plenty of right wing "thinkers" who can speak on campus or write an op-ed. Freedom doesn't die because Milo/Bannon/etc can't speak on campus, or because an editor decides that running a pro-fascism piece isn't a good look.

But back to the radicalization. Ben Shapiro spent nearly a decade making overly racist comments during the Obama years. Today, the fact that he's not completely on Trump's dick has apparently earned him a spot at the big boy Serious Table. When you keep moving right and your opponent doesn't change the game, you move the center to the right too.

In Shapiro's case it's interesting that even though he got some fawning profiles ("the cool kid's philosopher") he hasn't gotten that NYT/WaPo editorial spot and still has to run an independent hustle, hawking brain pills etc.

Which has to kill him inside, because he absolutely sees himself as the heir to the Bill Buckley/George Will tradition.

Reminds me of:

Quote


"When I married Ted, we got back from our honeymoon, and he went off to the store and came home by himself. And I was completely shocked to see that he arrived back at our apartment with literally 100 cans of Campbell’s Chunky soup," she said recently in a CNN Town Hall. "I never bought 100 of anything."

Heidi Cruz, who served in President George W. Bush's administration as both an economic policy and national security adviser, says she and her husband proceeded to have a "tough conversation" about the soup.

“You don’t buy 100 of anything, much less canned soup. We can’t do this," Cruz remembers telling him. "So the next morning, it was a weekend morning, I loaded up our car before he woke up and returned every single can. And when I got home, I called my mother just to make sure I’d done the right thing as a newlywed. And she emphatically disagreed with me. And so when Ted opened the pantry, I had to quickly tell him that I would go back and buy those cans again."

I can guarantee that Trump has asked someone at the white house if he could launch some nukes.

I can guarantee that Trump has asked someone at the white house if he could launch some nukes.

He has, multiple times. In fact it was one of the very first things he asked military leaders, I think even before inauguration. He also started discussions to get the first nuclear weapon tests up and running since the Reagan era as of late last month. He also wanted to nuke a hurricane. And he wanted to use a nuke in Afghanistan but instead settled on the MOAB.

Oh god, I must have blocked that stuff out. They all ring a bell. Jesus.

I’m pretty sure I called this either here or on twitter when his gospel album was coming out. It has nothing to do with a long con. Kanye is just a troubled person and a lost soul. He has no idea what he believes.

As if Trump's projection couldn't get any more absurd: He just a bit ago said the Maine gov was "acting like a dictator" because she hasn't opened everything back up 100%
it’s one of the rhetorical tricks he’s best at. defusing criticism by accusing the opposition of the exact same shit
