“Empty belts. A dearth of talent at the top. This is the present state of heavyweight combat spots.” quillette.com/2024/04/30/dis…
Remains true
Students at Australian universities march against Israel but Australian exports to Israel represented just 0.0006% of our total exports in 2023. Meanwhile 30% of Australia’s exports go to China where millions of Uyghur Muslims have been incarcerated in prison camps. No protests.
The "white fragility" movement was a 95%+ female phenomenon & it played on women's greater likelihood of being outlier-high in agreeableness & neuroticism, on female insecurities & fears. It was a deeply misogynist phenomenon.

@ClayReith @IonaItalia My theory is that when activist beliefs become part of the establishment and activists get to inflict punishment on dissenters, this attracts narcissists and bullies who want the status and prestige and don't genuinely care about the cause.

In 2022, Russian troops backed up security forces in Kazakhstan who were told to "shoot to kill" pro-democracy protesters. 238+ people were killed. 9,900+ were arrested. In the span of a week.

"Hindu nationalism is nostalgic for a golden age that never existed, before the invasions of first the Muslims and then the British." @anwesh_satpathy for @Quillette quillette.com/2024/04/30/swa…
"EDI training was supposed to help people like me. It didn't." Great to see @8RosarioSanchez in @Quillette citing our latest research report! In a survey of UK employees we found 36% had witnessed colleagues being penalised for challenging EDI training. freespeechunion.org/edi-is-divisiv…
Relationship advice: if you give each other a quick kiss on greeting, parting, leaving to catch the train, etc., consider upgrading to 6-second kisses on all such occasions. (I'm not sure where I read this, but this advice is seriously improving the quality of my life.)
For dispersing obnoxious campus protest encampments, my hunch is that shutting off campus WiFi, & blocking cellular reception, would be more effective than sending in police. If college students can't post Instagram photos from somewhere, they'll go somewhere else.

@IonaItalia 6 seconds is a long time, but if you make the "mmmmmmwoah" sound, it's sweet as.
@IonaItalia Wait, you commissioned a sports piece? (thinks about writing something)
Northwestern is trying to placate protestors by offering free scholarships to Palestinians and jobs for Palestinian faculty. Where should I apply?
@IonaItalia So... self hating white women who preyed on their gender to attack their race? Seems a little tortured logically and logistically.
@IonaItalia The White Fragility movement wasn’t misogynist - it was anti-white. It’s not necessary to redefine every bad thing by its negative impact on a protected class. Things can be bad even when their victims are a non-protected class.
@IonaItalia I agree, and I'd argue that the trans movement is similar in its design.
Yes, but the men who participated in it were particularly pathetic.
The "white fragility" movement was a 95%+ female phenomenon & it played on women's greater likelihood of being outlier-high in agreeableness & neuroticism, on female insecurities & fears. It was a deeply misogynist phenomenon.
@IonaItalia Oh these poor women. This hurts so much to read. It's bullying mixed with self flagellation and obscene racism.
@IonaItalia I don't want to be dramatic , but this almost sounds like the behaviour of a cult with the other group members pouncing on a vulnerability to lure the victim in deeper.
@IonaItalia Ghastly. And I know a lot of women still enmeshed in it. But the lyrics of the "I'm Just Ken" song seems to me to poke fun at the narcissism of the phenomenon: youtube.com/watch?v=RIHExG…
@IonaItalia Disparate impact strikes again! Some should file a civil rights lawsuit.
@IonaItalia It was *the* book at every book club for a while 🙄🤮
@IonaItalia If you acknowledge that it was a 95% female phenomenon, what makes you think it was also misogynist?
