New Yorker reports on 'conservative pirates' taking over Park Avenue hotel

Wikipedia

Christopher Rufo had a book-release party for "America’s Cultural Revolution" recently, and The New Yorker's Emma Green was there to tell about it. The idea of conservatives congregating at a Park Avenue hotel seems to have shaken The New Yorker — that's liberal territory. But there was Rufo, who recently announced the dismantling of Gender Studies at New College, and the rest of the "conservative pirates," talking and enjoying drinks, like normal people.

Green observes:

Like everyone else in New York City, Christopher Rufo was sweating through his dark suit on a recent afternoon, as he grabbed an iced Americano after a long day of promoting his book “America’s Cultural Revolution.” The writer and activist—and “New York Times best-selling author!” he made sure to add—has risen to moderate fame with his campaign against diversity, equity, and inclusion, having taken pains to brand those efforts as sinister. “On critical race theory, as a matter of public debate, we won,” he said. He had come to New York in triumph, and to be celebrated at a book party at the Mondrian Hotel on Park Avenue.

After the chat, Rufo posed for a picture with a producer for Newsmax, the right-wing TV outlet. As the waitstaff packed up the booze, Rufo reminisced with Armen Tooloee, his chief of staff. “We got surrounded by a mob of angry non-binaries in Florida,” Rufo said. Tooloee “walks in with the biggest smile on his face, like yea-a-ah. There’s cops everywhere. And Armen is in a state of bliss. He’s like a Buddha!” Tooloee, who has a groomed beard, said that he’d had a lot of practice dealing with progressive protesters as an undergraduate, when he ran a College Republicans’ “affirmative-action bake sale.” (Black students got cheaper cookies than white students, for example.)

“I work in a small town. I tinker with things,” Rufo said. “It’s very hard to understand that there’s any influence at all.” Aboard this pirate ship in a luxury hotel, he could finally taste it.

"Aboard this pirate ship in a luxury hotel"? We don't get it. Can someone explain?

They've made "patriot" a bad word; they could have gone with that. But pirates? That just sounds like winning.
