“Movements that abandon their core supporters in pursuit of mythical moderate voters often end up with neither. The energy drains away, the activists stay home, and the authentic moral voice that might actually persuade the persuadable gets replaced by calculated positioning that convinces no one.” #klein #coates

The best thing I’ve read on the nonsense from Ezra Klein and the like about Kirk. And it’s by, predictably, Coates. “If you would look away from the words of Charlie Kirk, from what else would you look away?” https://www.vanityfair.com/news/story/charlie-kirk-ezra-klein-tanehisi-coates #Coates #Kirk #CharlieKirk #Politics #MAGA #race #Racism #News #EzraKlein

Ta-Nehisi #Coates a été invité à un festival littéraire en #Cisjordanie en mai #2023, sur la fin il a été accueilli par deux Israéliens à Jérusalem, voici un extrait de leur conversation et le lien que Coates crée avec sa propre situation aux #USA :
« I asked Avner and Guy how they could reconcile living under that system with the #Zionism responsible for their very existence. There was quiet in the car for a moment. Avner answered first. He said he believed in self-determination for the Jewish people and that questions of where that self-determination should play out were now theoretical. “We’re here,” he said. “The question is, can there be a way to have the right to self-determination for Israelis and to Palestinians? I think the answer is yes, there has to be. I mean, there’s no other way. But I do think that there are very dangerous things that have grown out of this concept of Jewish nationality, which has transformed into Jewish superiority or Jewish supremacy, which goes beyond Kahane or Goldstein. I mean, this is deeply rooted within Israeli society, within Zionist mai ideology. There is a wish and a want for self-determination. I don’t think that’s inherently wrong. I think what’s inherently wrong is one nationality coming at the expense of the other. That’s sort of my attempt…
Avner trailed off. Guy did not speak of such pragmatics. “For myself, I understand that I see the establishment of Israel as a sin. I don’t think it should have happened,” he said. He spoke of Israel as “a center of Jewish #supremacy,” which he did not see changing. “So, it’s something that I can’t live with. And I think that in order to have some kind of sustainable, reasonable life here, there should be a real change.When I was young, I felt the physical weight of race constantly. We had less. Our lives were more violent. And whether by genes, culture, or divine judgment, this was said to be our fault. The only tool to escape this damnation—for a lucky few—was school. Later I went out into the world and saw the other side, those who allegedly, by genes, culture, or divine judgment, had more but—as I came to understand—knew less. These people, white people, were living under a lie. More, they were, in some profound way, suffering for the lie. They had seen more of the world than I had—but not more of humanity itself. Most stunningly, I realized that they were deeply ignorant of their own country’s history, and thus they had no intimate sense of how far their country could fall. A system of supremacy justifies itself through illusion, so that those moments when the illusion can no longer hold always come as a great shock. The Trump years amazed a certain kind of white person; they had no reference for national vulgarity, for such broad corruption and venality, until it was too late. The least reflective « of them say, “This is not #America.” But some of them suspect that it is America, and there is great pain in understanding that, without your consent, you are complicit in a great crime, in learning that the whole game was rigged in your favor, that there are nations within your nation who have spent all of their collective lives in the Trump years. The pain is in the discovery of your own #illegitimacy—that #whiteness is power and nothing else. I could hear that same pain in Avner’s and Guy’s words. They were raised under the story that the Jewish people were the ultimate victims of history. But they had been confronted with an incredible truth—that there was no ultimate #victim, that victims and victimizers were ever flowing. »

#Meta now permits, on #Threads, #Facebook and #Instagram:
Allegations of #mental #illness or abnormality directed at trans* and homosexual persons
Calling for gender-based limitations of military, law enforcement participation for the same groups, based on religious beliefs
Accusing people of specific ethnicities, e.g. Chinese people, of bearing responsibility for the Covid-19 pandemic.
The "Social Web Foundation" @swf and with it, expressly its founders @evanprodromou, @mallory and @tomcoates still boast, on their website:
»Industry support
The founders are supported by advisors from the social networking world including […]:- Meta«
They choose to stay silent on their Fediverse accounts, so far. The post is still up, on their website.
In a hilarious move away from his drooling #Threads fanboy statements so far, #EugenRochko @Gargron now boosts posts of OTHERS saying »The best time to abandon anything Meta touches was years ago. The second best time is today.«
As predicted, #Rochko, #Prodromou, #Knodel and #Coates were enablers and gate openers for #Meta, while everybody else was crystal clear about the track record of this rotten corporation, and what threat it is to the Fediverse.
These #Fediverse "protagonists", obviously, have a serious integrity problem.
