Holy fuck. 2000 too not even that long ago
Just stumbled upon someone's old stash. A very prophetic paragraph caught my eye. Apparently it's about a book. Might be worth a read, if just for a perspective from 20 years ago.
Small factoid: The "Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy" was a term used by Hillary Clinton in the 90s to impugn anyone who deigned to disagree with her. Identical in meaning and absurdity to her later "Basket of Deplorables." Rush Limbaugh, at the time, made fun of this by selling coffee mugs with the text "Charter Member of the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy."

Didn't she also coin alt-right*? She's on a roll.
(*or at least coopted it from the post-tea party movement and made it about white supremacists)
I know it's a porn magazine, so they can't ever admit the obvious, but this misses the mark.
They aren't a small number of people, far from it. Dworkin was only mentioned because of her anti-porn stance. Solanas had the ear of the NOW, and is still the NYT's idol.
People's beliefs can't be overwhelmed. You can't force people to believe something they don't truly support. You can make them pretend, like the CCP's detractors in China, but that doesn't make them love the CCP.
Yeah a lot of these left-wing institutions were against this stuff before they became for it. That's the main reason why I don't listen to people formerly from those institutions telling us how to "fix the problem": you had your chance the first time around and blew it. Why should we listen to you tell us to effectively "go back to 1995 but this time fight it off"?
We should have taken it for the threat that it was
Does my old heart good to see that even in the Quake 3 era id were still leaning on Doom in their marketing.
