Packer s Four Americas
Thumb-Sucker of the Month. Of all I ve read this month, the opinion piece that most got me thinking (although
not, in point of fact, actually sucking my thumb while doing so) was George Packer s Four Americas article in
Atlantic magazine.
Whoa there, Derb. Isn t
Atlantic a lefty outlet, with anti-white word-salad merchant Ta-Nehisi Coates on the masthead? And isn t Packer himself left-progressive?
Yes and yes. Packer s more of an old-line liberal, though (he ll turn 61 in August) and capable of talking sense for quite long stretches before lurching reflexively into mention of the dark energies behind Reaganite conservatism, or the reality of planetary destruction, or how Donald Trump aligned himself publicly with hard-core racists. I took all those quotes from the Four Americas piece; and no, Packer doesn t identify any of those hard-core racists.
