    Russell Brand, Zizek, Vaush, Orwell, Nathan J Robinson, the list goes eternally of almost-left cringelord creeps

        if i remember correctly he fired every that worked for him when they tried to unionize and I think had a bunch of other issues. He's also a total radlib on foreign policy

          It wasn't that they tried to unionize, it was that they wanted to convert Current Affairs to a worker owned co-op. I'll still maintain that his writing was generally good, and the people he employed were excellent, but he was a rich kid who couldn't give up control of what he saw as "his" project. It's not even about money since I'm pretty sure the magazine lost money the entire time it was in print.
