"Moooooom, the leftists are being mean to me"

Megan, as someone who's very much not a leftist and been a target of a shit-ton of left wing vitriol over here ... put on your big-girl pants and suck it up. If I can manage it, so can you.

She *is* here, I’ll give her that. Whether she ever looked at the feedback, it seemed so. Whether is got through 🤷

That's right, as a fully paid-up member of the DSA**, I've given you plenty of crap***, and I will grudgingly admit that you've taken it with good grace****. But then, you're not vapid, intellectually incurious, and the textbook example of colossally and inexplicably failing upwards again and again.

**Okay, a former member. Before the Rise of the Berniacs.

***Upon review, I don't think I've actually given you much crap, since I either agree with you or don't find disagreement rage-inducing. But the point still stands!

****Okay, sometimes swears and blocking. But that response makes sense too.

Someone blocking her prompted a response? Wow.

Her goal is to get yelled at. She’s been a professional concern troll for 20+ years.

Does a *very much not a leftist* that is ~centrist (you) always describe his/her-self as NOT a leftist?

Do you subscribe to the axiom of "We're all left now"?

Lots I disagree with you about, but no question, you wear big-boy pants!

Never forget how Megan mccardle wanted to deal with those who (correctly) protested against the Iraq war

akivamcohen.bsky.social•8 days ago

That cannot possibly be real

dedc79.bsky.social•8 days ago

I assure you it is. I think she may have eventually apologized for it, but still relevant to understanding where her sympathies lie

McArdle's schtick is bad-faith layered in false stupidity. It's insane. She's not worth reading or engaging with.

She does not own big girl pants. She's probably never even shopped for them. Claiming victimhood in bad faith is all people like her have. And it's lucrative for her, which would imply that she has money for big girl pants if she wanted them.

Almost everyone is saying they came to Bluesky to escape the Nazis on Twitter, and she still doesn't get it

One of the easiest blocks ever. She’s so useless.

kaytheory.bsky.social•8 days ago

I'm so distracted by how bad that screenshot is.

siropsalot.bsky.social•8 days ago

But that would require operating in good faith
