I've heard people endlessly complain about cebrity culture, the worthlesness of being on social media, etc.

Along comes one bluecheck with some decent positions and everyone's like "he's the biggest asset we've ever had, you don't understand His plan."

The demands seem to be:

1) be grateful that a famous person echoed some of your work
2) be content with any partial understanding
3) be tolerant of repeated trashing of book clubs (which is how the research got done in the first place)

I disagree on all counts, of course.

I've always been diplomatic when disagreeing with Q/Andray, and this is how he lashed out last time I called out his unprompted mocking of book clubs.

Didn't see anyone demand he calm down or anything.

Why the double standard?

Is this drama? Am I annoyed? Yes, of course.

I'm gonna let it go, naturally, but I wanted to be clear on *why* it bothers me.

When I start hearing communists sound like Jordan Peterson fans ("you don't understand!", "out of context!"), it seems like celebrity culture to me.

If you want more info on where I'm coming from:
