The amount of mental trickery you have put yourself through to believe that a magazine's ideology is the same as an individual's identity is astounding.

I think you misunderstood what I meant by "x" - (x - publication).

legostormtroopr says:

-> I'd believe anything that Salon had to say on the matter of identity politics, if their editorial stance couldn't be clearly summed up as "white men are bad"

Because a magazine is not an individual, and is instead comprised of individuals, it is possible to honestly engage with an idea published by an individual in said publication even if you have qualms with that publication's ideology. So it is not fair for legostormtroopr here to dismiss the article because of Salon's editorial stance.
