Everyone's making fun of this piece -- appropriately, because it's embarrassingly bad -- but among other things it is one of the cleanest examples of Murc's Law you will ever find. Reactionaries hate immigrants ... because of the word choices of left activists & academics!

You kind of have to remind yourself, because it just breaks the brain, but the Atlantic is still publishing this "random lefty used words that annoyed me" shit *while fascists are destroying the country*. Not that there's a "threat" of fascism. It's here! Look out your goddamn window!
@volts.wtf The Atlantic's gotta Atlantic. It's what they do. They are, and always have been, the last bastion of puerile sophistry.
