This is the triumph worthy of an article-length humblebrag in the New York Times: "We once published an editorial criticizing Israel. But then, as Israel began murdering tens of thousands of innocent people, we issued a generic take that ignored the merits of its actions."

You'd think journalists would brag about something like, "We stood with Palestine early, when it was wildly unpopular, because we knew it was right." But nope! In 2025 you earn kudos by bragging about how nice you were to each other while you abandoned any pretense of having moral values.

But let me put it this way, I can have a lot of academic experience and study of say, Black culture in America but if I haven't actually listened, that knowledge is going to be very basic. You can know about sex and gender but that's never going to tell you how other people live qualitatively

I'll also just say that people online are scared for reasons; this is the most aggressive, coordinated attack on trans medical access and public life in our lives and it's worthwhile to ask why people are terrified They're not mobs, this isn't an echo chamber. This is genuine fear and terror.
