The Atlantic poses as a magazine of ideas, but its writers get away with terrible arguments. Its ascendance is a sign of the dire state of American intellectual life.
I still don't see how this is radlib. It might be radical to your or me, but how is it a radical form of liberalism instead of just a form of mainstream liberalism?
We should be careful about watering down words. The Atlantic being radlib would mean there's little liberalism that isn't radlib.
