Quillette, the conservative opinion magazine which sees itself as a member of the "intellectual dark web" not afraid to apply facts and reason to taboo political topics, got duped by an obvious hoax.
Quillette published an interview with a man claiming to be a blue-collar DSA member frustrated with effete, SJW leadership within the organization. The article was full of red meat for the anti progressive crowd. It was also full of little details that were obviously false if even the slightest bit of editorial review took place.
The internet starting picking apart this story right as it was published, and the article was pulled after a few hours. The hoaxster later gleefully admitted punking the magazine and everyone is having a good laugh.

Seems that many radical conservative "intellectuals" these like to cloak their views as the only rational and reasoned interpretation of the facts. Nice to see this charade absolutely collapse and Quillette get exposed for the hack-job it is.
