NY Magazine art critic Jerry Saltz calls for 'shunning' friends, family who vote GOP
2023-03-08
[NYPOST] New York magazine’s veteran art critic Jerry Saltz advised his social media followers to "shun" anybody who has voted for Republican political candidates — even if they are "friends and family."

"If you know anyone who voted Republican — including friends and family — you should shun them," Saltz wrote on his Instagram page on Sunday.

"No need to even tell them that you are no longer communicating with them or why," Saltz wrote. "You own it [sic] yourself, to them, your country, and any idea of moral damage."

Saltz — who was responding to a post of an old photo of Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee in drag, protesting a state law banning drag performances in front of kids — concluded the post by writing: "And yes, they want to bring back lynching."

The Post has sought comment from Saltz and New York Magazine.

As Kommandant Saltz Shunning-Kruger
Adjusted the aim of his Ruger
And hollered "Moar power!"
From up in the tower,
I unlatched the catch on my...
Bass case?

Nudge nudge wink wink, eh, Hoopy?

#11  Ellis Island staff seems to have done considerable creative editorializing when names especially when immigrants were illiterate. Maybe it was Saltzburger.

It is a wonderful question, isn't it? How many truly believed The Covid Narrative, and how many realized it was mostly bullshit but saw an opportunity to do the detention, arrest, and to the camps?

#5  ^ Many of our "neighbors" on the Left have loudly called for just such a solution. The "othering" is complete, so best kit up for the consequences.

#4  The answer to the question: "How do 'civilized people' come to support concentration camps?" You start by shunning the Otherâ„¢.
