It seems that all conventional opinion about the American chattering class is condensed and printed on the New Yorker pages once a week. In normal times this process yields a good writing and report. The magazine produced some wonderful work in certain periods. But we have not lived in normal times in the past decade. The conventional opinions of the classing classes varied from delusions to racist fever dreams, and worse.
The most recent illustration of this trend is an essay by New Yorker chapter Doreen St. Felix, who wrote a screed about the Blonde Starlet Sydney Sweeney. Sbeeney, St. Felix Memed, represents a fantasy “Aryan Princess” for some of her fans, with her much -discussed breasts placed in dark contrast with “The Black Man’s Hunger for Ass”.

This is not the New Yorker of the past; It’s something else. What exactly is it? Starting ten years ago, the New Yorker, like many of his colleagues, jumped on the bandwagon “Diversity and Inclusion” and he declared himself an “anti-racist” institution. The magazine, owned by Condé Nast, set explicit racial quota when hiring and promised to “talk about racism” on every occasion.

The magazine capitulated to critical racing ideologies. It broke writers, such as St. Felix, who is black, not only to offer “representation” of favorite demographic groups, but also of a certain taste of opinion.
After St. Felix’s Sweeney -Yessay, a colleague sent me a link to one of her messages on X. “I hate white men,” The after Partially read. Out of curiosity, I searched her history for the sentences “white men” and “white people” and discovered one Cessspool of intolerance: “Whiteness fulfills me with a lot of hatred”; “Whiteness must be abolished”; “We lived in perfect harmony with the earth pre -whiteness”; “White terrorism is a superfluous expression”; “White people[’s] . . . Lack of hygiene literally started the bubonic plague, lice, syphilis “;” It is tricknologically when white people call the Holocaust “;” White people bring the Holocaust or 9/11 to influence a fake racial psychological burden. “And so forth.”

Most of these messages were written ten years ago, after St. Felix graduated from Brown University and a few years before the New Yorker hired her as a writer. They are indicative of a fashionable ideology that, for the entire Black Lives Matter era, was seen as a belief for ascension in the cultural elite. The reference worked for St. Felix.
I published screenshots by St. Felix’s stream-of-hatred writing, with a media-fireorm, with headlines in the Daily Mail, New York Post And other international points of sale. Within a few hours St. Felix had removed her X account and the New Yorker had blocked me to participate in his messages on the same platform, a rare step of a national publication.

The St. Felix affair raises an important question, summarized with characteristic sharpness by the social critic Wesley Yang: “Should there be a single standard of politeness, decency and honesty that excludes this kind of toxic racial vitriol and defamer from public life, or will we give it a permit for blank people?”

Indeed. Publications such as The New Yorker have long worn the Halo of ‘Antiracism’. But “anti -racism” has always had an exception that can no longer be denied, for whites and Jews – the “tricknological” oppressors who apparently earn a steady racialist vituperation in the minds of people such as St. Felix. After all, the term “tricknological” was conceived by The nation of Islam, whose leader, Louis Farrakhan, his hatred never hidden in euphemism or intellectualization.
Some writers have called on St. Felix to make a public apology or even for the New Yorker to dismiss their “star writer”. My preferred result for the Doreen St. Felix affair would be silence. Instead of participating in Kabuki -Theater, we must easily accept that the entire starting point of the BLM era was never about ‘anti -racism’. It was always a fraud, from top to bottom. If the New Yorker continues without comments, none of us will have to pretend that our moral conscience should delegate for magazines, Dei Manifestos and the rest of the rotten building. It is better to accept reality than to continue to live in the delusion.

The “racial settlement” that writers such as St. Felix produced was not about helping minorities. It was about punishing the majority. All the smoothing over the past decade was empty. It didn’t help anyone except Grifters and Hustlers who used it to air their miles and cover their pockets.
To make this reality so clear, Doreen St. Felix does not deserve our conviction, but our gratitude. She revealed the truth for all of us to see.
