no, the cultural taboo is now so strong that when you suggest a case where somebody actually needs forgiveness — like, real, no-shit, actually desperately needs to be forgiven for something genuinely evil — the response from editors is: "no, that person's a bastard, fuck him" — PolitiTweet.org

@ebruenig have you written anything on this?

we live in a poisonous culture whereinst the demand for atonement is never-ending but the prospect of forgiveness is rejected as evil prima facie — PolitiTweet.org

people try to write about forgiveness, but they always end up talking about /innocence/: they say, oh this case is okay because it turns out this person wasn't fully culpable -- was too young, was abused, was mentally ill, etc. but that's exoneration, not forgiveness — PolitiTweet.org
