@vannadam @BryceWayne10s I did not say *social justice ruined this* I said *this woman is exploiting social justice for personal gain in a way other people are doing too, such that we should be attuned to it* — PolitiTweet.org

@vannadam @BryceWayne10s As is people calling bullshit, which I am doing and you're objecting to... Why exactly? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@vannadam Yes, and that is why universal skepticism is warranted, rather than deference whenever any set of buzzwords is invoked––that deference is sometimes given inappropriately is why, in this case as in others you mentioned, the buzzwords are cynically deployed. — PolitiTweet.org

For a paradigmatic example of how powerful people exploit the language of social justice to benefit themselves and stigmatize legitimate civic criticism, read this quote and try to guess what behavior it is defending before you look it up. https://t.co/9PgvExnTY1 — PolitiTweet.org

The podcast conference that sold a booth to The Daily Wire and absurdly apologized for causing harm when @benshapiro briefly appeared has now apologized to Ben Shapiro. Is this the end or will a backlash prompt an apology for the apology for the apology? https://t.co/3Zm65UxeBb. — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@therosemodel @keithpurtell @mattyglesias I agree with the notion that members of ethnic or racial majority groups should be cognizant of the experiences of people who are often or always a demographic minority. But what do you see as the significance of "people who look like me" built harmful systems? — PolitiTweet.org

@stephenfrail Simply lift restrictions on density, allow developers to increase the supply of housing, and force landlords to compete for tenants, driving down rents and other requirements, like credit checks. — PolitiTweet.org

@BaileyMcC Oh come on I've seen rats eat pizza off those sidewalks. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@stephenfrail It is easier to finance one house instead of multiple condos because NIMBY neighbors exploit flawed regulatory rules to drag out fights over multiunit developments so long that the delays and uncertainty eat up what would be more profit. — PolitiTweet.org

@bkerrjung "Rigged" can imply many different types of dysfunction, and the "rigged" you're describing is not what the people I am critiquing mean when they say "rigged." — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@bkerrjung Oh, I see. Yes, I agree that zoning and certain aspects of building codes, as well as abuse of environmental laws, are the important factors here. But if instead you and I believed what NIMBY-aligned leftists say they believe it would be rational to do what I suggested — PolitiTweet.org

To the NIMBY-aligned leftists who believe that developers simply rake in huge profits in a rigged system: why not coordinate to start a development company, or invest in one, and use the huge profits to help the poor and homeless? KB Home is right there on the NYSE. — PolitiTweet.org

@keithubermensch I don't think developers are altruists, just normal entrepreneurs in a competitive and heavily regulated sector where risk is significant and returns often aren't great. As for YIMBYs, I am one and I have no ties to developers nor anything personally to gain. — PolitiTweet.org
