The Atlantic Fires Kevin Williamson

Social Justice Warriors have been trying to get Kevin Williamson fired from his just-started job at the meaningless dribble publication The Atlantic -- a magazine much admired by the cucks -- because he has previously tweeted that women who get abortions should maybe be hanged.

The Atlantic just fired him. They said they'd found a podcast appearance where Williamson repeated that tweet, and that they now believed this wasn't just a provocative joke but his "carefully considered" opinion.

It seems it was just yesterday that The Weekly Standard, which you should totally obey because they're smart guys who really "get" the current political environment, were blowing air-kisses to the liberal print media and claiming charges that it was without integrity were "deeply unserious."

What will they say now? If they now denounce the leftist print media as totalitarian, that would establish two things:

1, They're wrong about everything all the time.

Which we already knew. Worse, it would establish:

2, They don't care about the left's totalitarian attacks on speech and belief until it gets someone in their own class.

I despise these cucks for this reason: Many of these people scoff at the notion that the leftwing is out for scalps. They are out to get people fired. They are out to ruin lives. They stand for the proposition that You shall repeat our cult dogmas or we will work as hard as possible to deny you the ability to even earn a living plying your trade in Current Year America.

Yet these cucks continue to engage in apologism for the left, claiming that only "paranoids" believe this about their Very Good Leftist Cocktail Party Friends.

They themselves are immune from the Recite Our Dogmas or Lose Your Job threat, because they are actually paid to write (nominally) conservative twaddle by (nominally) conservative magazines funded by (nominally) conservative billionaires.

As they themselves have most of their speech rights -- and cannot be fired from their jobs unless they say something truly outrageous, like the Russian Collusion thing seems to be a Deep State Hoax (just ask former TWS writer Lee Smith about that heresy) -- they seem to believe that everyday Americans similarly enjoy most of their speech rights.

Or maybe they just don't care that everyday Americans do not have much by way of speech rights at all.

Apparently the idea is similar to the claim that only professional comedians have the right to tell edgy jokes without being fired-- unless you work for a (nominally) conservative publication, you really shouldn't have the right to the full panoply of speech rights, and your corporate boss is quite justified in firing you if a Social Justice Mob demands it.

This is most of the reason people voted for Trump: everyday Americans who are not insulated from toxic Social Justice Warrior mobbing by virtue of the fact of working for a (nominally) conservative magazine are sick and tired of being bullied and want someone to finally start pushing back.

But the cucks laugh at that rationale. Why, it's silly to think you're being bullied, Hobbits.

But now Kevin Williamson, who was blazing a trail that many of the cucks hoped to follow by decamping to a truly educated, sophisticated place like The Atlantic (not quite educated and sophisticated enough to know that French words end in -isme not ism, but at least more educated and sophisticated than the outlets serving the TrumpenProletariat) is the victim of Social Justice Warrior mobs demanding bloody scalps for speech they don't like, and now the cucks are suddenly bothered by this form of sociocorporate totalitarianism.

This has been going on for 8 years running everywhere in America except conservative magazines (and even there -- it went on some).

Where you been all this time? Do you only get bothered by Social Justice Warrior scalp-hunting when they start coming after members of your tiny, tiny, microscopic class of Liberal Republicans Working for Liberal Republican Magazines Who Would Like One Day to Work at Liberal Democrat Magazines?

Oh that's right -- you and your ilk have been spending these past few years attacking Kurt Schlichter for correctly saying that the left is imposing an intolerable speech code on us through sociocorporate power and that it's time to impose "New Rules" on them so they feel a similar pain (and are encouraged to de-escalate).

But now that they got Kevin Williamson, it's only now a tragedy worth discussing, eh?

A lot of us believe that we're in a cold civil war and that the left is now determined to leverage its sociocorporate power to coerce conservatives into either parroting the leftist line or else remaining strictly silent.

On the other hand, the cucks believe the left are just a bunch of swell guys with whom they just have a few points of disagreement, but with whom they agree on the most important point, that everyone besides the cucks is a crazy paranoid for thinking the left means them ill.

And they're busy, in the meantime, negotiating individual treaties with the left. Just let us work at your Worthy Publications For Smart People Who Aren't Nazi Retards (Unlike Our Current Thuggish Readership), and we promise we'll make you proud and write lots of terrible things about our former (nominal) political allies.

Oh well. Guess you're stuck with us, cucks. Looks like the Cool Kids you admire you so much don't admire you enough to let you sit at their table for longer than a few minutes.

Maybe this will finally open your eyes to what's actually going on right now.

But probably not. You've been so arrogantly wrong about so many things for so long, you're kind of addicted to it.
