Imagine wanting to re-up this tweet rather than frantically moving to scrub it from the internet in abject shame over its imbecility.
Since he insists on re-upping his, guess I gotta re-up mine:

Lindsay is a fanatical clown whose unaccountable ravings have repelled far more people than they've attracted.

His self-conception as some sort of civilizational savior has led him to such comically extreme takes that anyone who isn't an antiwoke zealot has a hard time taking his project seriously.

One frustration “anti-woke” critics have with a thread like this is that its central complaint is fundamentally about the problem of mislabeling, about linguistic imprecision, rather than about the propriety of the various initiatives being described as “CRT”
This is one of @olivertraldi's points in his piece for @ArcDigi yesterday.

He calls it a form of "language control and gatekeeping."

It is obviously important to journalistically check rhetorical maneuvers by activists against the facts. It's equally obvious that this classificatory move shouldn't be the main focus of our concern.

Liberals are forced to accept that after Shapiro's "W.A.P." acapella cover and now Tom MacDonald's communist-melting street anthem, the right is now dominating rap music.
Sample headline from conservative media: "EMINEM WHO? Rapper Tom MacDonald, a disciple of the streets, eviscerates wokeness with rugged hood slang that he actually knew BEFORE binge-watching HBO's THE WIRE"
"I GIVE WOKE NESS NO REST

Solidarity with Jeb here. I would be similarly devastated if my son ever took a Trumpian turn. ImageImage
Read @rumpfshaker's write-up, which is good.

What's the end game here, pops? I mean you had to know you would be immediately blocked. Were you just hoping for one perfect troll, one unforgettable night where your reply guy efforts led to two, maybe three likes?

This is a microcosm of our experience as a publication.

People read a few things they like and then, because we are incorrigible pluralists, they inevitably come across an article they despise. And they unsubscribe.
This is the article.

The GOP successfully filibustered the January 6 Commission.

The U.S. is hardest hit from this, since of course it's absolute clown level stuff to be incapable of properly investigating an incident in which frenzied rioters attempted to stop the certification of our election.
Imagine being this deranged.
Mission Accomplished, Mitch

I agree it’s incorrect to say the U.S. is intrinsically racist, but “it had to struggle its way out racism that existed when it was founded” is an indefensible whitewashing of the way in which the American founding intentionally weaved white supremacy into its social design.
Where’s the agency? Lindsay talks about the American founding as if it featured heroes of incorruptible character battling a hostile universe’s vile attempts to saddle it with the evils of slavery. Maybe the founding wasn’t a Marvel movie.
What are you talking about?

Of course the founding era contained "aspirations to rise above it." I never denied that.
