Making Oneself Obsolete

~ Clarissa

When these journalists get fired en masse, they’ll blame technology, capitalism and everything else except their own unprofessionalism and cluelessness.

    1. “No one is going to take the journalistic rigour of your ‘Guide to radical polyamory for Latinx long-Covid sufferers’ all that seriously when one of your biggest funders likes to chop up journalists and put them in suitcases.”

      • And still journalists have learned nothing. Nobody knows about Vice’s Saudi links. Vice isn’t gaining readership because people are tired to death of “radical Latinx polyamories.” Nobody is rich enough to give a toss. And to these journalists, the fault for Vice’s collapse still somehow magically resides with the “J6 inshurrecshionists.”

      They deserve whatever they get.

      1. “Guide to radical polyamory”

        Who would read that? Normies aren’t interested (or are repelled) wokies probably think it’s too institutionalized or something and net veterans have known about polyamory for muchos yearos and are unlikely to learn anything interesting….

        Here’s the key to ‘polyamory’ (it used to be, not sure if this is still the case and can be arsed to research it).

        Polyamory is a way an unstable narcissist collects needy doormats. In every set up I read about those many years ago there was a central character (male or female) and a bunch of hangers on…. sort of like a mini-cult. It wasn’t described that way but the pattern jumped out at you.

        1. “My husband is cheating on me with a co-worker” sounds pathetic while “I practice polyamory because I’m so evolved” sounds kind of less pathetic. To some people. And it’s totally a narcissistic thing because nobody remotely cares about anybody else’s arrangement. As you say, can’t be arsed.

          And it’s all middle-aged people who do it. 20-year-olds find it icky.

    1. This guy is a downright lumberjack compared to Korean boy pops that attract millions of young women.

      Delicate masculinity is and always was very attractive to a large segment of women.

      2. I was surprised to find out recently that my very sensible, pragmatic, down-to-earth Japanese friend – whom I have known for over 30 years – is into “feminine men”. Her words, not mine.

        I was terribly shocked, and I now understand why she has never been in a relationship and is still single after all these years, which is something I could not wrap my head around as she’s very attractive.

      1. I just copy and paste the link? The only thing I do is check the URL to make sure that it’s the baseline version and not the crazy-long excess characters version. You can either copy using left-click then “clean link” or you can just copy the stuff before the question mark and nothing else.

            2. Did you see the story about the guy who’s refusing to take his HIV meds in support of Palestine? That’s my favorite one so far. Palestine is so friendly for gay HIV-positive people, I’m sure.
