i actually do believe the washington post and the entire media establishment is a cult. it worhships on the altar of neoliberalism and globalism

Thank you for putting it so clearly. I'm afraid there are too many lost souls who think the 4th Estate still exists. Except for a few truth tellers here and there on the internet, it no longer does.

(((Globalism)))

While what you’re saying is clearly factually true, what he’s done was apply a very common style of sarcastic dismissal. I think it’s rather obvious he didn’t mean to imply WaPo was actually an organization similar to Om Shinrikyo. In all honesty I think if he’d have written some long form comment we’d all get the same point but have wasted far more time.

> what he’s done was apply a very common style of sarcastic dismissal

Perhaps common on Youtube comments.

> I think he's getting downvoted because the Washington Post is, almost unquestionably, not a cult.

And with that simple statement of fact, "pacifist" has been "intellectually pantsed."

LOL.
