This is not from a Ross Douthat column, by the way. This is from The Nation. That would be the same periodical that sees no value in the efforts of Ukrainians to get rid of their corrupt, cynical oligarchs and find dignity in popular organizing and activism.
That’s the shitty kind of progressive media we get.
