Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Washington Post Declares That Leftwing Matt Taibbi and Bari Weiss are "Conservative Journalists" In Order to Discredit Their Reporting to the Post's Neoliberal/Neofascist AudienceThe Washington Post was blasted for characterizing the center-left reporters behind the viral "Twitter Files" as being "conservative journalists." Twitter owner Elon Musk tapped independent journalists Matt Taibbi and Bari Weiss to report on internal documents that have shed light on the company's controversial decisions like the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story and the deplatforming of former President Trump, as well as confirming long-held suspicions like the practice of shadow banning conservative users. Taibbi, a Substack writer who used to be a scribe for Rolling Stone magazine, and Weiss, the editor of The Free Press and host of the "Honestly" podcast who used to be the opinion page editor at The New York Times, are widely seen as being left of center, although they have become thorns in the sides of traditional liberal outlets since going independent. Despite their progressive views on a host of issues, the Post still labeled them "conservative."But the Post still calls Jen Rubin and David French "conservatives," because that helps the left's propganda efforts. In a report about Twitter dissolving its so-called "Trust & Safety Council" and the alleged harassment that former Twitter head of trust and safety Yoel Roth has been facing ever since Musk took over the company, the Post briefly mentioned Roth's role in the "Twitter Files" that has been reported by Taibbi and Weiss. "As head of trust and safety at Twitter, Roth was involved in many of the platform's decisions about what posts to remove and what accounts to suspend. His communications with other Twitter officials have been posted in recent days as part of what Musk calls the Twitter Files, a series of tweets by conservative journalists Matt Taibbi and Bari Weiss," the Post wrote Monday evening. Critics panned the "Democracy Dies in Darkness" paper for its "inaccurate" label for Taibbi and Weiss. "Painfully embarrassing for the Post to print this," Grayzone host Aaron Maté reacted. "Calling those two conservative is so patently ridiculous. Wacky WaPo gaslighting like crazy," Sky News host Rita Panahi exclaimed. "It is rather insane that news publications are ascribing political ideologies to journalists that don't remotely fit because they want to discredit the journalism being done," conservative writer A.G. Hamilton tweeted. "They are not interested in actually telling the truth. Everything is spin," National Review contributor Pradheep J. Shanker wrote. "'Conservative' is just a smear to the MSM. It has no other meaning except to brand someone as unworthy. To signal to its readership that such a person can be safely ignored," journalist and author Abigail Shrier tweeted. "We must understand how leftists and wokesters use words. They don't care that calling Taibbi and Weiss conservatives is a lie. WaPo uses that word to signal to its NPC readers that Taibbi/Weiss are the evil out-group and therefore everything they say should be ignored," The Federalist co-founder Sean Davis blasted the paper. "There's almost a medieval quality to a lot of political discourse. If you don't agree with every mainstream liberal opinion, then you're a conservative? They see the world in black and white," The Intercept investigative reporter Lee Fang said.Taibbi is used to it. The neoliberal/neofascist Regime has been deploying this tactic for a few years now: "That is hilarious," Taibbi reacted to Fox News Digital, adding, "Anyone who steps out of line in any way is labeled conservative or pro-Trump now. It's automatic and predictable."Glenn Greenwald has also been refashioned into a "conservative" by the neoliberal/neofascists, so he's seen the Regime's use of this deplatforming technique up close and personal.

It's the Left Pole problem. If you're standing on the north pole, *any* direction you walk is step. Take any step in any direction and you move south. So it is with contemporary politics. You're on the Left Pole, or you're Literally Hitler, and by extension a conservative. Weiss and Taibbi and the rest *are* conservatives in the current structure, because they are not on the Left Pole. That the pole out from under them is irrelevant. Step off it or fail to keep up with its motion, and you're a fascist. Since all conservatives are also fascists, all fascists are conservative. It's nice and neat.

From BBC News:
Brazil's left-wing president elect Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who recently beat far-right incumbent Jair Bolsonaro in his country's presidential election, got emotional during a ceremony ratifying his election victory. After a divisive campaign which saw two bitter rivals on opposite sides of the political spectrum go head to head, Lula won 50.9% of the votes. Jair gets "far-right" label and Lula only gets "left-wing" label, and yet the very next sentence they are on the opposite sides of the political spectrum. The dishonesty in labeling couldn't be any more transparent. Posted by: Chuck Martel at December 13, 2022 05:29 PM (fs1hN) 118

They have more adherence to the tenets of fascism than they do to a communal structure where there is no hierarchy of people. Lenin knew that the USSR was not a commune, instead he specifically said that "Communism" was aspirational and an indication that they wanted to get to the international commune in Marx (however Stalin did in their most ardent internationalist Trotsky). They adhere closer to: EISNOSNAS: Everything In the State; Nothing Outside of the State; Nothing Against the State.

Given my hypothesis that the Twitter Files is not primarily aimed at the right (although it does bolster us), then I think it's easy to claim that Sundance at Conservative Treehouse is either a General Ripper-level crank, or he's a demoralization agent.

The left has been pretending there is some movement against "mixed race" marriages since gay marriage came up back in 2012. And yes they claim Clarence Thomas is one of the leaders of that movement.
Posted by: 18-1 at December 13, 2022 06:00 PM (lc5cP) --- They should get the yellow card for diving. However, it is illustrative of the two-way thinking on these things. Dobbs specifically says nothing should be construed to be a basis for any challenge to interracial marriage. So, what is the fact? It says that it isn't about interracial marriage. So, shouldn't lefties believe this? On the other hand if conservatives worry about some sort of ruling that something says it would never imply that outcome is USED as the reason that conservatives are "making things up" and "spreading fear". "Calm down. It says it won't do that." (Just like Affirmative Action said it would never compel association, mind you.) Posted by: Axeman at December 13, 2022 06:09 PM (krQz2) 260

The American left believed that Dodd was a slippery slope.
It's good enough to poo-pooh conservatives and cite them the technical point that Slippery Slope is a fallacy (and "fallacy" never means "impossible") when conservatives see an argument leading elsewhere. But if abortions go back to the states, so do interracial marriages. Because apparently, the lack of a right to abort means the lack of legitimacy for the central government to restrict a state's infringement on other rights via the 14th amendment (and it doesn't).

I have about five feet horizontal going into the old chimney which is about 30' straight up. The horizontal part gets the creosote, but the vertical stays clean.

The horizontal is not hot enough for the creosote to burn off so it collects. The run sounds long, perhaps an upward angle to increase evacuation speed.

Maybe, but I like that I can easily clean this low part, cleaning the other would a big pain. Old bricked in ... would have to get it from about probably (an opening in the basement, not sure I could bend the fiberglass poles through the angle.) And not sure about angle increasing speed, seems speed would be same throughout, because of the draw. And pipe is smaller, so should be even faster through pipe. Don't really understand all the dynamics. (unless some air is being drawn through the basement opening which is supposedly closed) For now, firewood is the back up ... air gets too dry burning the wood stove. Thanks for your idea.
