https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/jan/01/bret-stephens-new-york-times-article

Bret Stephens’ article was ridiculous, eugenicist garbage. But calls to boycott the newspaper won’t help

Sadly, the morning the column debuted, Twitter commentary lurched from biting and witty takedowns of Stephens to calls to “boycott” the New York Times over the foolishness of one of dozens of contributors to but one section of a massive multimedia news and entertainment company. (Disclosure: I occasionally write op-eds for the Times.)

Although the harsh criticism of Stephens and the Times was completely warranted, in other respects the response – especially the calls for boycott – was misguided. Such posing not only simulates real political action, it displaces it, satiating one’s need to feel like one has done something. This is an example of a non-boycott boycott, narcissistic stunts we have seen emerge with targets like Starbucks and Facebook in recent years.

Before anyone says “What about South Africa?” or “What about the lunch counters during the civil rights movement?”, yes, specific, targeted, organized boycotts that generate real financial harm and demand serious sacrifice or risk by participants can effect change. But none of that is happening with these hashtag eruptions.

Potentially effective boycotts are focused, local, disciplined, and have specific, articulated goals and demands. They must bring public shame and measurable financial harm to a firm. A few people tweeting “I’m going to stop subscribing to the Times because of Bret Stephens” does not rise to the level of successful social movements or tactics.

If one believes, in the absence of evidence, that a few dozen Twitter users canceling subscriptions to the New York Times would affect decisions at the Times, one does not understand the incentives embedded in the attention economy. The Times, like most other globally available web publications (including Breitbart and any number of white supremacist sites), benefits from umbrage as much as applause.

Futility aside, to threaten to withhold revenue to any respectable news publication at this moment in history is hard to justify. We need quality journalism, expensive investigations, and bright commentary more than ever. The Times, for all its flaws, overwhelmingly delivers all of these things. The Times has serious lapses in judgment and reporting – like any publication, including The Guardian – but we should not wish for a day when The New York Times does not exist.

A fake boycott of the Times would be meaningless at best, counterproductive at worst. What can we do about the Bret Stephens problem, then? The only reasonable and potentially effective response is to push at what the leaders of the Times care about as much as their revenue: their reputation for seriousness and responsibility. Shaming the Times works better than threatening the Times.

It's a good vid even if it is long as hell. And I am pretty ho hum on Contra thanks to her comedy style not being my cup of tea. But yeah, good vid.

If you want the more standard version of her vids I think you can bow out at like the 30 or 40 minute mark where it eventually transitions into her specific experiences. The first third is mainly about the topic of Canceling.

no thanks, dont like the creator, however regarding creators I do like, last time i posted a pakman thing you guys called my man a money goblin, ever since I've been looking at pak a bit more sceptically than I usually do. I've noticed he gets super dramatic when his bottom line is at risk, like here and with the jordan peterson subscription thing



not sure how i feel about this tbh

[team filler]

he's a BETAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 

[Momo]

yeah, but he's pretty hot

bih needs to be slapped anytime he starts talking foreign policy

you do fall back on disinterest for purposes of avoidance, not that I find it bothersome or something to hold against you

Well it's not topical, depends on who replies to me, I find a bunch of people on here not worth engaging with so I wont, I'd talk at length with others. If we're talking about contrapoints, someone in here linked me to them for the first time and I died laughing at what was put forth as a coherent 'counterpoint', havent been interested since, never will be again, i do however despise the 'long man bad' argument as it doesnt go beyond 'i dont have time for this therefor it sux'.   

[OnlyRegret]

tsun~ 

[Madrun Badrun]

You don't need to engage with stuff at length, but you also shouldn't take quotes out of context*.  Not aiming that comment at you but general online discussion, and the context where I see that argument applied.   And dunks are allowed, but once some kind of engagement is done.  Like not to toot my own horn, but I actually watched wank dads first youtube video - the one where he hates trans people and fears prison for it.  So I can dunk away. 

* unless its quotes about having wet dreams about your grandma.

contrapoints makes some good arguments, if you can get past all the cringe whimsy, which I personally cannot, but it's kind of weird to dismiss her on that basis. Don't you follow that boxxy lookalike? She is way more of a surface level thinker than contra

I follow boxxy cause she makes smart people arguments like a baffoon and it's entertaining. Contrapoints makes dumb people arguments with theatre and misdirection. Listen I'm not going to watch the video, I'm not interested, I just wanted to add that people who trash it based on length are morons.

[agrajag]

lol thinking that the boxxy girl makes "smart people arguments"

Edit: Mind you, I think Cenk is serious about running for CA-25

[benjipwns]

Stealing large amounts of campaign money as a loser non-incumbent is one thing you don't really want to do. It's like the one thing the FEC takes seriously. They even go pretty hard on incumbents all things considered.

[Kara]

The FEC has a backlog miles long and quorum problems.

[benjipwns]

Not on reporting because a lot of it is automatic. For example, they've even been watching Brianna Wu's campaign, every quarter they request restatements from them because until the last quarter her husband was trying to do it himself and so it was always wrong and nothing added up.

If Cenk had planned ahead though, no, you're right, wouldn't be a problem. Hopefully he recently started a vendor service.

I'm wishy-washy on defense. I personally do not subscribe to it, but consider it the only thing resembling an acceptable form of violence. I'm also aware of the loophole this creates and that Kroptokin (and far lessers) drove a truck through.

Regarding the ol' politologie quotes or Hayek quotes or whatever, I don't quote only people I agree with 100% because I don't know if there's any of those, and sometimes I don't agree almost at all with someone I quote except for the specific statement. Calvin Coolidge, especially being a white man of his time, has a lot of quotes I'd never touch, but he still has my Apex President quote of the ones I've come across:

If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people. Those who wish to proceed in that direction can not lay claim to progress. They are reactionary.

Then sometimes they're just interesting to think about, or compare something to, like whenever I quote from The Doctrine of Fascism.
