@MonkeeBread @jbarro Like, do you worry people smarter than you will trick you with crafty arguments? I don't get it — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@MonkeeBread @jbarro Josh isn't ever writing in bad faith, but even if he were the logic of his arguments would stand or fall on the merits. Judging motives is bad for you. If someone is correct but with bad motives it still helps you to see the correctness of their arguments. — PolitiTweet.org

@JeffreyASachs Perhaps they want continuity with the authoritarian legacy of Woodrow Wilson. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@MonkeeBread @jbarro Why are there so many people who obsess about whether someone is "concern trolling" as if their motive affects the correctness of their argument? It's nonsensical. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@Demosthenes47 Nope never had either of them that I recall and definitely never had my "cage rattled" save by the atypical caps loss. You're disappointingly off for someone with such specific info to draw on! — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@Demosthenes47 ? I was never against PACs that I recall! What do they have to do with this in any case? — PolitiTweet.org

@NaysayerRon @jbarro You have no professional or financial power over me or a shared cause and didn't suggest my Tweet was an affront to social justice, you just pushed back with a challenge. That to me is good, not bad. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@NaysayerRon @jbarro Professional activists telling their grassroots allies to refrain from using longstanding language at the expense of political victory because it makes them look good in elite spaces is the definition I had in mind — PolitiTweet.org

Interesting @jbarro post on the tiny class of professional progressives who enjoy Language Policing Privilege https://t.co/MjhkzaejB5 — PolitiTweet.org

@jessesingal Twitter itself is being subjected to the experience so many other institutions have when subject to intense scrutiny on Twitter. It must be disorienting. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm not sure that's actually right. In theory, e.g. Black Lives Matter and Harvard University are pro-reparations, but in practice, the beneficiaries of their actual spending on racial justice are often disproportionately college graduates in the professional class. — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
I agree. & the relish with which some are working to undo it, as if the "colorblind" right is going to shift to a "white fragility" framework, frustrates me to no end. I wish that part of the left would engage w/ the actual literature on how to effectively combat authoritarians. — PolitiTweet.org
Steven Cassidy @stevenhcassidy
@conor64 Getting the right to defend colorblindness is a massive victory for the left
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@wastetime I agree. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
So, you think departures from colorblindness are wrong? Okay, then you think Rush Limbaugh was wrong a lot and that Tucker Carlson is wrong a lot. Start acting like it! — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
One mistake the left makes is that so-called colorblindness is *a much higher bar* than many who purport to believe in it actually clear. In my estimation, asking those people to live up to their own professed ideals is more effective than telling them their ideals are garbage. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@GTL_310 @primalpoly @TuckerCarlson If your point is that the aggregate of all universities is more important than the single commentator Tucker Carlson I agree. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@iamhurst I agree it is larger than 3 million. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@evaneugenescott @TheWorldWatch @MonicaBaumann @RudolphTroha If you use a screenshot and include that image in your tweet there is no character limit. I suspect you can't find an actual passage that is vulnerable to your critique, but I am happy to entertain criticism of any passage and am open to having gotten something wrong. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@GTL_310 @primalpoly @TuckerCarlson IMHO the correct thing is to oppose both regardless of which is more significant or worrisome. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@evaneugenescott @MonicaBaumann @RudolphTroha Please screenshot an actual passage from the piece. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@iamhurst How big do you think his audience is? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@thatluckyolsun @MonicaBaumann @blueironmonk I see that Joy Reid of MSNBC talks of "white male tears." Does that not seem racially essentialist to you? If not, how do you define "white" tears? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@thatluckyolsun @MonicaBaumann @blueironmonk I encounter such sentiments frequently, but I hardly ever watch TV news so I can't tell you if it is there at all. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@evaneugenescott @MonicaBaumann @RudolphTroha Why don't you quote an actual passage that you think I get wrong and we can discuss it. Otherwise you're just going to characterize the piece in ways that aren't true to its arguments. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@NastyCanasta06 Many of the nationalist populists agree with Tucker Carlson's bigotry. I am appealing to conservatives who purport to disagree with him to live up to their professed ideals, because I believe many really do actually possess them. — PolitiTweet.org
