Bret Stephens has never in his life experienced a real problem
The problem with Woke 1 was its lack of proportionality. That's why everyone who tweeted about how racism is bad should be sent to the Hague.

the fact that john ossoff can kick off a two-day media cycle by saying that the president is uninterested in doing his job and is sleeping through meetings and traveling around with a young blonde, suggests that not enough of these guys are speaking plainly and effectively about these assholes

Back when tattoos were a lot less common people used to say "how do you think those are gonna look when you're old" but it didn't work as a deterrent because getting old was fake. They should have said "One day tattoos are gonna be for cops and troops and baseball players who think they're troops."
Cops been evil forever but something shifted when we let them get full sleeves and hand pieces and go to the gym etc. An ill wind blew that day.

Fastening my seatbelt for the inevitable discursive whiplash I experience when we go back to reading lamentations about the perils and excesses of cancel culture from the social clique currently doing victory laps for driving an academic to suicide.

Got a new google scholar notification, so I go check and find this very cool poem by Wang Jibing 王计兵, the recent Lu Xun prize winner, prefacing a PhD thesis on women migrant workers and the gig economy
PhD students in all disciplines: more poems in theses please, we love to see them! ✨💫
