Joseph Manson tries to play for anti- #woke pity party tears. He's a fucking tenured prof at a public university with a big-ass state pension and old enough to draw early Social Security. Bite me 1/x commonsense.news/p/why-im-givin…
Joseph Manson gives the game away on his own Substack bio. Like many people who boo-hoo as they call out #wokeness he's an "unabashed Zionist." 2/x substack.com/profile/346768…
But of course! "Common Sense" is Bari Weiss' Substack. I dealt with .@bariweiss and other signers of that deceitful, disingenous Harper's letter at my blog. About all of them butthurt, per .@NathanJRobinson & fair part of them butthurt Zionists, per me. 3/ socraticgadfly.blogspot.com/2020/07/jesse-…
Meanwhile, the likes of Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who continues to find new lows to which to plummet, defends the tears of an "unabashed Zionist" (and presumed supporter of Israeli apartheid), all while pretending to defend human rights. 4/x
And, of course, Joseph Manson eventually goes there. Like many another "unabashed Zionist," he claims that anti-Zionism is antisemitism. Would be news to Philip Weiss and other Jewish writers at .@Mondoweiss 5/x
As for 1 of Joseph Manson's big complaints he says is all about being #woke or even #WrongfulWokeness (IMO not ALL "wokeness" is good)? Algorithmic policing SUCKS. Like algorithms overused in the "criminal justice" world in general. While I'm here, Ev Psych is #pseudoscience 6/x
There you go .@memeorandum that's my hot take on Joseph Manson's half-baked warmed-over take. .@threadreaderapp unroll that. 7/x
