Keep digging.

You can take this however you like, but it's hard to imagine you being that condescending and dismissive of a white guy of the same age who makes a living writing about the stock market. You know, someone serious. Apparently because you disagree with her about questions of interpretation of American history -- a field in which you, like many of us, have no particular training or experience -- you're dismissing her basic qualifications. You've built a highly-leveraged position based on mood affinity rather any real familiarity with her work. You mischaracterized a few sentences that she said once, and decided it means she doesn't understand journalism. Occam's Razor, my friend.

















Predictably, you will read this and double down.
