Sam Kriss is the uncanny valley of left-wing thinkpieces, I should, in theory, agree with. Like some part of his brain is clearly still working, but he's so up his own ass, thoughtlessly contrarian and horrifyingly bitter that he ruins it.
The fun bit was in defending this article, he went on about things PZ Myers was saying in 2008. Of course, in 2008, Sam Kriss was getting banned repeatedly from Something Awful for calling people "autistic retards" on YOSPOS. Basically he never got over LF.
This is a fucking terrible article by an incoherent idiot.
