Ok, this had me re-reading it several times as I was not sure if I was misunderstanding something. Someone called Max Fisher was taking exception to this.
The replies are pretty amusing.

We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.

Who Are We?The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling. We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

Oi vey 😯
Another walking brain death case.
War is a traditional male sport. Hope he gets his fill.
Even better if ISIS gets a belly full.
This is rapidly turning into a Spanish Civil War for the 21st century.
Whilst true traditionally, I doubt there has been a war in modern history with as many female combatants as this one.

Not been to a WI meeting, have you? 😉
Have you never heard of Max Fisher? He is one of the idiots at Vox. Always makes a fool of himself.
In the U.S. there’s a term known as “Voxsplaining”.(NOT to be confused with Theodore Beale of “Vox Popoli”, from where they appropriated a remotely intellectual sounding, Latin “meme”.)
Generally, an in depth promotion, in astonishing detail, with LOT’s of “weasel words”, of The Emperor’s New Clothes, AFTER someone has pointed out he’s naked.
I think the Brit response to such “intellect” is something like “That’s a fairly BOLD statement”.
Or alternatively “Would you mind standing and turning around if you intend to continue as you sound rather muffled.”
I fear that whoever wins in Iraq, the Sunni or the Shia, the Christians have no future.
In short – this is a brave effort, but a doomed one. Still it may help buy time for an orderly movement of the Christian population from Iraq.
So where do the Illridewithyou crowd sit on Jews getting to work, sitting at home, going shopping etc. safely?
Sorry, #illgetmycoat.

And here we go with yet another viral story that virtually every media outlet drooled over, and none of them cared to fact check it. As it turns out, that viral story about an Australian woman offering to ride the train with a Muslim woman who was self-conscious about wearing her hijab after the Sydney Siege never happened.
The story is a complete fantasy, so admits Rachael Jacobs, the woman who started the whole thing.
My favorite piece of Max Fisher stupidity. Don’t miss the update, it mentions “nuance”

And try ‘walking with a jew in Paris’. See who really gets abuse in the streets. The BBC expresses some caution.
