Harpers Magazine publishes alt right hate speech treatise, falls on wrong side of history
- Thread starter the janitor
- Start date
you didn't read it and yet you critiqued it.
(cool you used that cool word, though!)
Get on 101 and start driving South. When you see a bunch of hateful angry donkeys across from a biker hangout seafood restaurant, have you a paddle.
If that's not your speed check out Malibu, Venice (you seem Abbot Hipster af tbh fam) , PV, CreeeeekDuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude, Trestles, and Windansea.
The "pandemic" proved that the zealots don't actually care about the environment, as they'd rather have as many human lives be saved as possible.
It can also mean it’s a summary for others who won’t read it because it too long
Context usually helps the reader determine which but not always
tldr: All this cancel culture is complex and societal norms and mores are in flux. Pay attention to those who have power and attend to how they want to hold on to it. Particularly the Pulchritudinous
Column: 'Cancel culture' is not the problem. The Harper's letter is
"Cancel culture" has been with us since this country began — did anyone actually see "Hamilton"? So why is a group of esteemed writers wringing hands about the way a new generation uses it?www.latimes.com
I feel like everyone creates their own frame and the frames just crash off of each other.
People see what they want to see.

This, from Bill at Penzey’s Spices, speaks to me about the objection to “cancel culture.” “There is no denying that America’s founders risked everything to move equality forward as much, but mostly more, than anyone else of their time. But there’s also no denying that from our very beginning America has been a cancel culture. The humanity of women canceled out. The humanity of our indigenous people canceled out. The humanity of Black Americans canceled out and then they went back and canceled out two-fifths of their bodies as well. Not good.
You can go into great depths as to why racism exists in America, but there’s some pretty basic math to it as well. The short of it is as long as the costs of racism are only paid by those on the receiving end, racism will always be with us. Shift the costs of racism to those creating it and America changes for the better overnight. This is why the shift in support for Black Lives Matter from the 20%+ it was at in the time of Ferguson when we first started encouraging you to give it a look to the 70%+ it is at today matters so much.
Today you are still more than free to go ahead and livestream yourself explaining to America’s minority community why you support the president’s embrace of the Confederate flag. But where once this kind of thing would open doors for you, now it just means a visit from HR and security with a box to pack your things. That racism now is at that tipping point where it no longer cancels those it is directed towards but instead cancels those creating it may well live in the history books right next to July 4, 1776 and the Emancipation Proclamation. Or it may come before either. These are good times.”

This seems relevant. I'll just leave it here...
