Not sure whether it’s just me, but Megan McArdle sure seems like an enormous dope. Yet she occupies valuable real estate on the op-ed page of the Washington Post.
Take, for example, her latest WaPo piece calling for a “truce” on “cancel culture.” I was rather flabbergasted to read the following:
The left, which at this point basically has total control over the centers of cultural production, has managed to get media, academia and a lot of large corporations to adopt a narrow progressive orthodoxy. Those institutions don’t just endorse that orthodoxy but enforce it — on employees, customers and even local governments.
Did I miss something? Is it true that “the left” now has “total control over the centers of cultural production?” Have media, academia, and a lot of large corporations adopted “a narrow progressive orthodoxy?” Do these institutions enforce that progressive orthodoxy on “employees, customers and even local governments?”
Did all of these things happen while I wasn’t looking? Or is Megan McArdle, in fact, a dope? Inquiring minds want to know.
