AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>If you're wondering why the pundit class and the mainstream media organizations that employ them have been so tepid in their criticism of Trump, so unwilling to name the fascist beast and draw the logical conclusions the regime's actions imply, perhaps it's because they know they've been complicit in this fascist nightmare? As Joan Westenberg notes in this brilliant March 15th drag out piece, the normalization of the fascist ideology the Trump regime is running on now has many fathers in American society, and not all of them are folks who'd want to be known as supporters of MAGA fascism; but that's precisely the role they've served, for personal gain:</p><p><a href="https://www.theindex.media/the-pundit-class-played-devils-advocate-now-the-devils-at-the-door/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theindex.media/the-pundit-clas</span><span class="invisible">s-played-devils-advocate-now-the-devils-at-the-door/</span></a></p><p>The Pundit Class Played Devil’s Advocate. Now the Devil’s at the Door.</p><p>"A revolving door of New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post columnists made a career of platforming people who—either blatantly or through implication—argued that transgender people shouldn't exist. That democracy had "gone too far." They raged against "wokeism" because they couldn’t conceive of a world where it wouldn’t prevail. They bemoaned "cancel culture" not because they cared about free speech, but because they mistakenly believed the right-wing ideologues they dined with had been cast out for good.</p><p>In their intellectual stupor, they decided that the forces of social change were so overpowering and unstoppable that the world needed a voice to speak up against them in an infernal balancing act. And it felt daring, didn't it? To be the literary equivalent of the Cool Girl—not like those Other Girls who care about freedom, equity, history, and common sense.</p><p>They dressed themselves up as the beatniks of cultural commentary. They convinced themselves of their "underground" status. They basked in institutional protection, indulging in a self-congratulatory circle-jerk of mock dissent where the stakes were always someone else's problem. They positioned themselves as lone voices against an imagined tide of unthinking dogma, pretending that they were fighting against orthodoxy when, in reality, they were just reinforcing the status quo with a hipster filter. They weren't holding truth to power. They were selling a brand: rebellion without responsibility, provocation without principle, and the posture of dissent with none of the burden of consequence.</p><p>They dined on the aesthetic of courage without ever taking a risk. And why not? The market for disaffected liberals playing footsie with fascists was lucrative and full of opportunities for highbrow grift."</p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Media" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Media</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/NYT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NYT</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/WaPo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WaPo</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/WSJ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WSJ</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Collaboration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Collaboration</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Transphobia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Transphobia</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/MigrantRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MigrantRights</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Normalization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Normalization</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Propaganda" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Propaganda</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Complicity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Complicity</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/MAGA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MAGA</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/PorkReich" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PorkReich</span></a></p>
