It’s like he was sick on the day the middle school English teacher taught the difference between “protagonist” and “hero.”

Also, this. I don't even know where this is coming from because the guy just says it and Douthat just lets him get away with it and moves on to other topics.

He also goes on about No Country For Old Men in a way that makes me think he's rooting for the '70s hair guy.

I don't think anyone with that much money can be. Even in the most normal interactions, the money's always in the background.
When you add that on top of the fact he's a dude who made that money turning friendship into a video game, yeah I truly believe he has fewer than three friends. Three fewer.

As someone who lived abroad in 2008 in the middle of a global financial crisis caused by American greed and during an unprovoked war of aggression against Iraq, I completely agree with this. This will be so, so much worse than having to say "Yeah, I hate Bush too."

Apparently, they do a lot of class action cases, which explains a lot of how they rounded up 1,100 affected people.

I mean, I don't like Zootopia because it's an allegory for racism where the stand-ins for people of color are in a very real way genetically predispositioned to be predators. But the copaganda ain't great either.

Ugh, don't say that name. It makes me pull a sour face just hearing the sound.
Malort, however, that's good stuff.

All good points. I thought your objection was the "Google it yourself" message, but yeah there were a lot of better ways to handle this.

This reminds me of that 1990s SNL sketch where Ray Romano is trying to come up with his Sports Center catchphrase.
