Now they're learning that the establishment is happy to use the same disciplinary methods against them. substackfwd.xyz/?url=https://c…

“The logic of h.r. safetyism runs counter to political contestation as such.

One day, that might be convenient for constricting populists.

there's a demographic of white boomer females who pride themselves on being 'allies' to oppressed minorities (blacks, gays etc) but who get offended when they behave in a way that's not palatable to their respectable bourgeois sensibilities (ie too black/too gay)

lil mermaid is deeply symbolic of the state of affairs within the neoliberal technocratic entertainment industrial complex

To foreigners exclusionary zoning and its effects are one of the most baffling aspect of life in the US.

The real problem though is how it has shaped people's expectations about the kind of place they want to live in.
