Why, for christ's sake, Why?
I refer to; https://www.bassettbrashandhide.com/post/danyl-mclauchlan-unjarndycing-the-state
McLauchlan finally has something worthwhile to say but he fucks it completely by this line "I suspect this era will take a place in the storied political mythology of the nation, alongside the hubris of Think Big and the ponzi scheme of the Rogernomics share market" which are not just bullshit but simply turns off readers like me.
I was part-way through a good column that had me thinking when this shit stopped the process and meant I was more interested in bitching than continuing reading.
McLaughlan obviously writes to be read. He thinks (?) he has something to say but if he does he's just hidden it in a couple of sentences that destroy his credibility among those who think.
He often writes well and although I disagree with 99% I will read his thoughts because of that but every time, every time, he destroys his arguments with unrelated communist bullshit.
An aside: I know I do this as well, as do many bloggers, but we don't take ourselves that seriously, not expecting the masses to be swayed by our opinions.
McLaughlan is serious.
I shall continue reading but with reservations already in my mind.
