The Columbia protests discourse, like so many other episodes we think are worth reflecting on as a society, has been mired in a hyperpoliticized morass that leaves lots of people not knowing what to believe. @emilyctamkin brings some much needed clarity. theunpopulist.net/p/shutting-dow…
For the @UnPopulistMag, I wrote some thoughts on universities, Jewish identities, and protest theunpopulist.net/p/shutting-dow…
Thoughtful, nuanced piece:

The British government's fecklessness is causing a general deterioration in law enforcement against extremists of all stripes. But trust politicians and rightwing media to use this to scapegoat Muslim immigrants. Not that Labour is blameless!

The British right is portraying the U.K. as overrun by Muslims and immigrants who have turned formerly decent areas into dangerous hellscapes. This reveals an increasingly paranoid and conspiratorial mindset. @SteveDavies365 theunpopulist.net/p/the-british-…
About how media furore distracts from the general uselessness of the British state. (Not least in the area of public order and criminal justice).

Richard Rothstein walks listeners through how race-neutral housing policies ended up *entrenching* racial inequalities rather than *ameliorating* them, since those policies were imposed on a fundamentally discriminatory system in the first place. theunpopulist.net/p/yes-virginia…

Bret Weinstein's preferred conspiracy model is the Unfalsifiable Grand Narrative, which warns of elite forces colluding against the masses in far-reaching ways, though they do it so secretively that evidence for their schemes is never available. @mattjj89 theunpopulist.net/p/bret-weinste…
