🧵I vaguely agree with this. But the hypocrisy here is so intense it’s almost impossible to know where to begin. Remember, Ash and co responded to the death of one man (George Floyd) in another country by falsely and repeatedly seeking to paint the entirety of British and Western society as systemically racist, two-tiered in its treatment of ethnic minorities, deeply oppressive, and so on. So many instances to choose from here.
Here she is claiming there mere presence of white people in a room constitutes white supremacy. If that isn’t viewing things through a racialised lens, I struggle to see what is! But that’s just one example…
Here’s Ash during the BLM moral panic, holding forth on how Newtonian physics and the refraction of light relate to the structure of ‘whiteness.’ Now she’s furious that things are being ‘racialised’…

Ash Sarkar is anti-woke now the groupthink has shifted. But at the peak of the authoritarian, neo-racist cultism, she was at the forefront of the madness. A thread of examples🧵:
Here she is claiming that ‘the presence of white people automatically means the presence of racism.’
Here’s another of Ash’s eye-wateringly pretentious monologues, this time on how Newtonian physics and the refraction of light relate to the structure of ‘whiteness.’ If only someone had told her to ‘get a grip’ (oh wait, everyone did)

Ash Sarkar and Novara were the red guard of wokeness - its most slapstick, droid-like enforcers. They built careers whipping up its most authoritarian, cultish excesses. Now the tide has turned, watch as they re-write themselves out of that history. Absolutely shameless.
Ash Sarkar is now saying wokies need to ‘get a grip.’ It’s so predictable. She and Novara were at the absolute leading edge of hyper-woke authoritarian twattery for years. It’s mega gaslighting. Here she is talking about the way ‘whiteness’ relates to Newtonian physics.
