|content=End/ This is hard to believe if you haven’t read it yourself. I almost feel like I’m making it up. But right now @sarahjeong in her new job at the @nytimes IS the dominant power structure. And by Ezra’s claims on SJW lingo, is therefore, improbably, a white male. Fight the power.

I am not sure you have a point actually. I may be wrong on that. Sincerely.
 
As luck would have it, I am not seeking help. But thanks for the offer. I was making a different set of points.

This piece on the @nytimes’ hiring of gender & race-baiter @sarahjeong is also spectacular in that it somehow manages to combine deep insight with barely believable cluelessness. https://x.com/ezraklein/stat/ezraklein/status/1027173350819459072

|content=Lost this earlier. This is what I usually call '''“Redistribution of Empathy”''' where there is a competition to see who is the most compassionate by elevating the pain of the monster well above that of its victim.
|content=2/ @ezraklein describes “Feminist Twitter” (which doesn’t of course actually exist by virtue of Twitter’s open design) as a place where the words #KillAllMen came to mean simply “it would be nice if the world sucked less for women.”


The ability to map it and name it is not what I mean by my inability to understand it.
You sorta have to read it to believe it:

|content=You want to know why nobody cares about the Left-wing media's latest oppo dump? The answer is obvious: people care about the quality of their lives. And life is getting worse under Democratic governance.
 
Here's just a quick story.
 
We're in LA this week. So we decided to go out with some friends, a husband and wife. Nice area of the city, well lit, not too late at night.
 
We finish dinner at around 10:30 and head back to our car. Since my wife and I have 24/7 security, we're safe. Not so for our friends. They get to their car...
 
And as soon as they do, a Hyundai without plates speeds up and stops. Three young black guys jump out of the car (suspect description relevant because they're still at large!) and rush up to my friend, yank him out of his car, and grab his watch, phone and wallet. They then sprint around the car and grab his wife, start trying to pull off her jewelry. She screams and kicks, and presumably losing time, they take off in top gear down the street.
 
As stated, they're still at large. It took about 15 minutes for the cops to arrive. Not their fault -- LA is wildly understaffed, and the LAPD has been treated horribly by the city government, such that officers have been targeted for simply doing their jobs. I know and am friends with many of them. My friend and his wife weren't armed up, either, because it's nearly impossible to carry a gun in LA legally, and also because if you shoot a criminal in LA, there's a solid shot YOU end up in jail.
 
Now, here's the thing. My friend and his wife have lived in LA for decades. In the last several years, they've been assaulted more than once on the street. Zero arrests. Zero prosecutions.
 
This is just one of the reasons we left LA, where I had lived my entire life. And it's getting worse, not better.
 
This is why people increasingly don't give a shit about the media's latest horror story about Trump Saying Bad Things™. The same people who maintain that street crime is no big deal, or a reflection of institutional racism, or that inflation is hunky dory, or that biggest issue in American life is whether or not Billy has the right to be called Susan...these are not serious people. But people's lives are serious business. And bad governance means worse lives for people.

|content=Inside the dream, anti-racism is anti racist rather than a form of racism. Antifa is simply against fascism. Black Lives Matter is about nothing more than Black Lives Mattering.
|content=3/ As you can see from @ezraklein’s emotive shadings, he’s deeply troubled by patriarchy, yet only mildly annoyed at #KillAllMen feminism. What I would call open racism/sexism against whites/men is to him a kind of edgy snarky in-group lingo, but weirdly sent in the open to all.

@jack is a brilliant interesting soul. One of these days he’s going to wake up like @ggreenwald, @mattyglesias and others who realized their errors.

|content=4/ '''What’s so interesting about @ezraklein’s line of thought here is that he is describing a massive transfer of empathy.''' We are asked to understand @sarahjeong’s wild gender &amp; race baiting as snark in the context of alleged oppression as she and her group police micro-aggression.

|content=5/ What @ezraklein is describing to conservatives here is a recently mainstreamed Left I’ve never seen before...and I’m on the Left. The woke-network got confused that by breaking into the big time, #KillAllMen level privilege is scrutinized out of network as STRAIGHT-UP-BIGOTRY.

|content=6/ Also, I learn on “Social Justice Twitter”, @sarahjeong &amp; her ilk don’t mean “white people” when they say “white people.” They mean “the dominant power structure”, &amp; anyone with an iota of self awareness gets this on the Left.


But I’ll now gift you your win.
That’s the mother of all memos I missed. If true.

|content=My name for it is usually '''“Redistribution of empathy"''' or '''“Metastatic Maternity”''' or a bunch of related ideas of my own. I’m not sure that either @GadSaad or I really understand it. I can say a bunch of stuff to indicate that I get it. But I don’t deeply.

|content=@GadSaad has a model for it. It's a parasitized mind plagued with suicidal empathy.

|content=5/ What @ezraklein is describing to conservatives here is a recently mainstreamed Left I’ve never seen before...and I’m on the Left. The woke-network got confused that by breaking into the big time, #KillAllMen level privilege is scrutinized out of network as STRAIGHT-UP-BIGOTRY.
|content=Lost this earlier. This is what I usually call '''“Redistribution of Empathy”''' where there is a competition to see who is the most compassionate by elevating the pain of the monster well above that of its victim.

The ability to map it and name it is not what I mean by my inability to understand it.

|content=You want to know why nobody cares about the Left-wing media's latest oppo dump? The answer is obvious: people care about the quality of their lives. And life is getting worse under Democratic governance.
 
Here's just a quick story.
 
We're in LA this week. So we decided to go out with some friends, a husband and wife. Nice area of the city, well lit, not too late at night.
 
We finish dinner at around 10:30 and head back to our car. Since my wife and I have 24/7 security, we're safe. Not so for our friends. They get to their car...
 
And as soon as they do, a Hyundai without plates speeds up and stops. Three young black guys jump out of the car (suspect description relevant because they're still at large!) and rush up to my friend, yank him out of his car, and grab his watch, phone and wallet. They then sprint around the car and grab his wife, start trying to pull off her jewelry. She screams and kicks, and presumably losing time, they take off in top gear down the street.
 
As stated, they're still at large. It took about 15 minutes for the cops to arrive. Not their fault -- LA is wildly understaffed, and the LAPD has been treated horribly by the city government, such that officers have been targeted for simply doing their jobs. I know and am friends with many of them. My friend and his wife weren't armed up, either, because it's nearly impossible to carry a gun in LA legally, and also because if you shoot a criminal in LA, there's a solid shot YOU end up in jail.
 
Now, here's the thing. My friend and his wife have lived in LA for decades. In the last several years, they've been assaulted more than once on the street. Zero arrests. Zero prosecutions.
 
This is just one of the reasons we left LA, where I had lived my entire life. And it's getting worse, not better.
 
This is why people increasingly don't give a shit about the media's latest horror story about Trump Saying Bad Things™. The same people who maintain that street crime is no big deal, or a reflection of institutional racism, or that inflation is hunky dory, or that biggest issue in American life is whether or not Billy has the right to be called Susan...these are not serious people. But people's lives are serious business. And bad governance means worse lives for people.

|content=6/ Also, I learn on “Social Justice Twitter”, @sarahjeong &amp; her ilk don’t mean “white people” when they say “white people.” They mean “the dominant power structure”,  &amp; anyone with an iota of self awareness gets this on the Left.
|content=Shaver? Timpa?
 
I am not sure you have a point actually. I may be wrong on that. Sincerely.  


That’s the mother of all memos I missed. If true.
As luck would have it, I am not seeking help. But thanks for the offer. I was making a different set of points.

|content=That poor woman was killed by a homeless schizophrenic with a history of violence. The other one was killed by a cop during an arrest. If you can't see the difference, I really don't know how to help you.
