Claire did a fantastic job with Quillete in the beginning. It gave voice to important censured intellectuals. But since she got the Twitter blue check, she and Quillete suffered quite the transformation. The other day they did an editorial "denouncing white supremacism and colonialism". She sold out. I understand, we all have families and need the money. But she is part of the establishment now. Lindsay remains the "freedom fighter", for now.
Can you link that 'denouncing white supremacy and colonialism' article? Sounds very untypical for Quilette. Although if you have a diversity of views, why not even the retarded views (which are absolutely everywhere these days).
The laughable state of Quillette and female lolbertarians like Claire Lehmann and Cathy Young who hate James Lindsay for being skeptical of MSM narratives.
Cathy Young may be crypto-woke, but she's honest. And it's not exactly expedient to shove that in people's faces. Let her be a gateway drug to full anti-wokeness instead.
Young is nothing but a false voice that actually stops people from becoming really anti woke.
Young is the kind of person who says, "well, the left is wrong about this specific thing, but in general they're right, except when they call me names. Now that other group that they call names? They're totally all the things that the left calls them."
A lot like the KiA vs KiA2 crowd. "We're just anti censorship and forced 'inclusion', but we love women and diversity! Those KiA2 guys though? Total misogynists and racists."
Young is nothing but a false voice that actually stops people from becoming really anti woke.
That's not how it works. You first need to get people to say A, before they say B. You've been in the anti-woke bubble for too long to realize how it is that people do become anti-woke.
People like Lehmann and Young are why the anti woke can never successfully push back against the woke.
These people are too busy clutching their pearls and punching right instead of focusing on the real problems.

females do not value freedom. any female libretarian is just a LARPer. or a grifter. or paid opposition. or all 3.
Lehmann just dislikes Lindsay. Nothing to see here.
Claire first called him a retard when James rightfully pointed out that Cathy Young is crypto woke.
The irrational hate from her only got worse after that instance.

Lindsay was correct to call her out.
Lehmann got butthurt over this and now constantly attacks Lindsay even over rational arguments that Lindsay makes.

Agreed in part.
