I am getting John Mitchell vibes from Blanche. The arrogance, political hackiness, and defensiveness resemble Nixon’s entire team during Watergate. Trump’s doubling down with Stephen Miller is a classic Nixonian move. Buckle up!

Knowing cashmere comes from goats is not enough. Effective advocacy means understanding what people value, avoiding needless defensiveness, making the goat visible, and giving concern somewhere useful to go. Here’s how to do it.

Explain to me the defensiveness coming from supposed progressive non Zionists on this issue... Like how is it so important to defend Jonathan Greenblatt *on this issue* that you're willing to lose credibility.
It's not about what he 'wants' .. it's about him saying it's non negotiable

I’m inclined to agree, but also think the psychic effects of imperial decline don’t just affect those who *liked* the empire/are otherwise reactionary. Feel like we see this in how many Americans (myself included) still react instinctively with defensiveness to some critiques of America by Europe.
