You're not entirely wrong but you'd be a lot more right if you read the article and actually refuted the specifics of it, not just Jacobin's political leanings.... to be fair if this was from the other side and written on Breitbart I'd expect the exact same reactions in the comments, even if it had some similarly good points.


I mean, I think Breitbart is a perfect example. I'm sure between the mounds of falsehoods and trolling they throw out, they make plenty of factually correct points. But I'm not going to validate them by reading through all of the junk just so I can find the 5% they got right and congratulate them. They are a junk publication so you just call them a junk publication and move on.

Jacobin is Breitbart on the other side of the spectrum. They don't deserve to be validated with discussion. That's my subjective opinion.
