Both can be true. I think there's something exquisitely twisted about the pair of them, and we're all in on some particularly depraved kink here.
But also, *if* (big if) the substantive allegations are true, this is a massive indictment of the profession, I'm afraid.

If you want a sense of the kind of things Liberal Currents is willing to publish under its banner of liberalism, read my magnum opus that debunks the entire 'sex based rights' scam, where I reframe that idea as a battering ram being used against the very *idea* of human rights.

Evidence that the massive swing among young voters back to Dems that we saw in NY, VA, and NJ earlier this month is not limited to those states.
Take PA: from Eday '24 to Jan 20th, young new regisrants were +5R.
In the last month of this year's election they were +24D.

In a new doctrinal note, Pope Leo and the Vatican sharply reject polygamy and growing Western polyamory, praising monogamy as an exclusive union between one man and one woman.

I genuinely do not think it is possible for non marginalized people to uplift marginalized voices at least through something as crude as social media shares. I Basically never see someone share a marginalized perspective they disagree with, so then all you are doing is amplifying your own view.
But people like MRO are doing the whole "Listen 👏 to 👏 Palestinians" and presenting their most deranged poasters, kinda like the weird Hasbarah accounts who do the same thing with Jews, and the Jewish Voice you should Listen to ends up being Meir freaking Kahane ימ"ש

The only correct response when someone loudly asserts that they hate one of your favourite foods is, "good, more for me!"
My actual food discourse take is that the problem with low stakes Internet discourse like the food stuff isn’t the people with opinions, it’s the people who act like you kicked their dog if you say you don’t like something they do. Learn how to not take other people’s opinions personally.
my take on Food Discourse is that it's always ridiculous but it's also nice to be fighting about dumb internet shit again instead of dealing with Oppressive Despair all the time so please keep posting your bad takes

I've disagreed with Stancil frequently--particularly on how he's theorised about social media. But I've never once perceived him as being even implicitly transphobic.
He's a disputatious guy who never met an argument he didn't like and my man needs to touch grass. But a transphobe? Be serious.

No, I do not “pick on” trans people, I have never done anything like this. And frankly, I think the willingness of some people to completely invent accusations of transphobia in the desperate search for a cudgel against ideological opponents suggests they don’t really care about transphobia
Listen dude, you can try and ride for this guy all you want, but the trans userbase of this platform fucking hates him because he picks on them. I'm going to listen to the trans people I know who are telling me he's bad. Plus I've been in these threads and seen it
