WHY SINGLE OUT?
Manjoo has a lot of postmodern multicultural baggage:
Manjoo was born in South Africa in 1978 to a family with ancestral roots in India.
A cisgender man, Manjoo prefers to be referred to with singular they pronouns.
In September 2013, Manjoo joined The Wall Street Journal as a technology columnist.[1]
Their final column for Slate, in which they urged men to wear makeup, was published on September 20.[6]
They later moved to The New York Times.
They are the author of the book True Enough: Learning to Live in a Post-Fact Society
This guy is a walking Amherst Common Language Guide Multiculturalist Fallacy poster child.
The Manjoo Fallacy.
He has thrown off the veneer of deference, and is unconstrained by inherited identities or allegiances.....
"Individualism is a word recently coined to express a new idea. Our fathers only knew about egoism....Individualism is a calm and considered feeling which disposes each citizen to isolate himself from the mass of his fellows and withdraw into the circle of his family and friends....Individualism is of democratic origin and threatens to grow as conditions get more equal...aristocratic institutions have the effect of linking each man closely with several of his fellows....Aristocracy links everybody, from peasant to king, in one long chain. Democracy breaks the chain and frees each link." Tocqueville, v2 pt 2 ch 2
