Hahaha. Just read #1 also. Thanks for my new favourite word apophenia! Just realized my first and middle names have 14 letters and my dad played the piano which has 88 keys. Does that mean my parents were really….😱?
'Oh my, Silver may be smarter, but that kind of remark is typical of Silver. Of all the partisan talking heads on political chat shows, he's the one that gives off a particularly oily, knife you in the back while smiling to your face persona IMO. However, I grant that all of the talking heads have their moments.
The post seems to be buying into the "you can't be progressive unless you grew up poor" nonsense, with its question of whether Singh can "relate to" injustice. If that wasn't sarcasm:
Sigh: There were White civil rights campaigners, non-criminal sentencing-reform advocates, male suffragettes, and FDR was one of the richest men in America. In the 19th century, Robert Owen, a rich factory owner, championed workers rights...for his workers, at cost to himself.
Remember when many celebrities were scorched raw for putting "as the father of daughters" in front of their support posts? That an appreciation for fairness and justice should be universal? Careful not to fall into that hole, guys.
True enough, but youse lost most readers somewhere around the sentence "However, in practice, this winds up essentializing immutable characteristics like race at the expense of traditional leftist class analysis." The jump from journo-writing to grad school made me blink, at least.
And by the time youse reached the last sentences with "goddam Marxists" and clearly-disparaging framing of "havens of privilege" and "unearned wealth" (every kid is educated by unearned wealth until university at least), it was pretty clear that youse have little respect for progressives that didn't JDVance their way up the ladder.
So many more than I may have missed the message. Just helping youse out with a reaffirmation of your point.
And, yes, the "youse" is your punishment for that editorial "we". Just always hated it.
And that, my friend, is why The Line is now getting money from me that I used to give to the mighty Washington Post. The Post actually hires professional trolls (Thiessen, Olsen, McCullough for canucks) to "engage" their 90% Democrat audience to hate-read them and leave 5,000 affronted comments. I finally realized it was a form of entertainment. A low one.
Your team enjoys poking the Canadian equivalent with a stick, too, but you have a sense of humour about it, highlighting the entertainment is deliberate. Anybody claiming a moral high ground desperately needs to be poked with a stick at regular intervals. Me, certainly.

Aha. We have found "Q" at last. What are your orders, Kathy?
Have fun. Try yoga. Follow your path. Don’t forget to drop breadcrumbs
Oh, man, if only "Q" had been saying that last Jan 5.
Rob Silver may soon be leading a single income household
Did you notice he’s deleted the tweet 🐣 lol
Only to add that Rob Silver is smarter than that. Which tell you that the liberals are getting nervous.

Also, many animal rights activists are human.
The post explicitly refutes the "you can't be progressive unless you grow up poor" nonsense. We say that is stupid. Like, in the post.

We knew we should have cut that blurb, but we just loved the gag and couldn't part with it.
