Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. There is no defense.
It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. – Saul Alinsky

No, not Titania McGarth. For a start she’s not a real person but the creation of a comedian, Andrew Doyle. What we want is the real thing, and while you may say that’s not possible, let me introduce you to the new CEO of America’s version of RNZ, National Public Radio (NPR), via the Washington Examiner:

She’s a vegetarian. She hates cars. And white men flying on planes. She supports race-based reparations, rioting, and the Black Lives Matter movement. She believes “America is addicted to white supremacy.”

She doesn’t want to become a mother because “the planet is literally burning.” She uses phrases such as “CIS white mobility privilege” unironically. She admits to growing up “feeling superior … because I was from New England and my part of the country didn’t have slaves.” I wonder what fuels her sense of superiority now.

Lest you think those are nasty assertions just hit those links to her Twitter account, and here’s a couple up-front:

Dear God, she even looks a lot like Titania McGrath, and she cannot be parodied:

But she can be ridiculed, as Lefty journalist Matt Taibbi did with his Substack article, Katherine Maher’s Guide to the Holidays and Christopher Rufo’s X-snark about her X-Twitter postings over the years:

A few days ago I wrote a post which included a reference to an article by a 25-year veteran reporter from NPR where he detailed the terrible bias of the outfit in recent years (though it was always badly biased to the Left), and made a sly reference to the new CEO and her complete lack of MSM experience. Unsurprisingly he was suspended and has now resigned. National Review focuses on him and his target:

You see, it turns out that Katherine Maher is no ordinary ascendant progressive media executive. No, this woman’s social-media history reveals her to be the Kwisatz Haderach of white wokeness, presumably bred through generations of careful genetic selection to be the supernaturally perfect embodiment of Affluent White Female Liberalism.

The Washington Examiner also sees the signs of her upbringing and genetics, and the term Kwisatz Haderach may not be far from the truth:

The daughter of wealthy parents whose wedding was announced in the New York Times, Maher grew up in a wealthy white suburb of New York City before studying at the American University in Cairo, the Institut français du Proche-Orient in Syria, and finally New York University. 

She then got internships with the Council on Foreign Relations and Eurasia Group in London and Germany before landing a job in New York City at UNICEF. She had stops with the National Democratic Institute and the World Bank, among other global nonprofit groups, before rising to become the CEO of Wikimedia in 2019.

It would be impossible to create a resume of a person more disconnected from Americans and more intertwined with the wealthy, urban, globalist elite who run the largest banks, media companies, and nonprofit groups in the United States. In other words, Maher has the perfect resume to run NPR.

Or RNZ, but I doubt she’d be happy with the relatively low pay and profile down here near the Antarctic.

But perhaps we shouldn’t be laughing too hard at her, for as Taibbi points out:

She was CEO of Wikimedia when the company was (like Twitter) being invited to election tabletop exercises at the Pentagon and “Industry meetings” with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. She also scored the rare personal triumverate of being a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, a World Economic Forum young global leader, and a fellow at the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Labs.

And you can see why she was so perfect for that role, and now NPR, in this clip of her talking about “truth”.

As a result I don’t think Elon Musk is being hyperbolic in these two X comments.
