I think that you are incapable of engaging with that politics without turning into its fundamentally in this kind of weird pair of social personal entanglement, and I think if you want to do this professionally you should work on that

This comment is unusually hard to parse, and the one meaning I can glean doesn’t make sense. I’ve praised and criticised your work where appropriate, so I can’t tell what personal entanglement you’re even talking about.

You’ve had a habit of making drive-by comments but then balking when asked for a substantive response — the above is another example, what materialist metrics have been advanced Freddie? It’s such a simple question. You also bizarrely accused me of cowardice even though I’ve repe…

This is the core disconnect. Western leftists are far too ignorant to comprehend jihadi mentality, but simultaneously arrogant enough to revise it into something palatable.

Ismail Haniyeh must be fighting for public healthcare, transgender rights, third world liberation. There can be no queer liberation without a free Palestine, blah blah fucking blah.

crazy how everyone is plagiarizing each other’s origin story

So I knew what was happening from the very start. I knew that this was an absolutely heinous massacre. I watched it unfold before me live. I knew exactly what Hamas did. And yet I watched my progressive friends celebrate. These people were my friends. I had known them for years; broken bread with them, attended class with them, gone to protests with them. They were completely normal people who would otherwise absolutely abhor violence in their day-to-day life. Yet their immediate reaction was joy.

Wife has so far rejected all my suggestions to name our twin sons after Roman emperors. I don’t know if this is reconcilable.
