    What an interestingly middle of the road article.

    It was kinda, like, the Republicans are terrible, bad faith racists. But also, despite not having good reasons, everything they’re railing against right now is actually bad and should be reworked.

    Nice to see an article promoted on here that isn’t just circling the wagons on something just because the Republicans hate it.

      It’s not “middle of the road”. He is a leftist, criticising liberal* identity reductionism and its inability to recall that class is part of the intersectional framework it has co-opted and abused beyond all meaning.

      *in the true sense of the word, not the USian colloquial meaning

        Agreed, but, like… that sounds pretty middle of the road to me?

        Like, I think the majority of articles I’ve seen on this fall way left or right of the line taken in this article. It’s either been “President Gay has done absolutely nothing wrong and this is just a racist witch hunt” or “President Gay wants to murder Jewish people.”

        This actually was a thoughtful review that could admit that both sides are right in some aspects and wrong in others with regards to her firing.

        Thanks for saving me the click on an article not worth reading.
