Since the Ezra & Ta-Nehisi discussion is still happening: the main point I think most are missing is that Klein is saying the role of the journalist-intellectual is to do strategic politics, whereas Coates says the role of the journalist-intellectual is to tell the truth

This is the same argument right wingers use when they want to pretend it's your fault for noticing when they are being racist, misogynistic, homophobic, etc. It's a dumb assertion from a dumb person

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

there are a lot of valid criticisms of DEI, but none of those matter because when Rufo and company talk about "DEI" all they actually mean is "the hiring of black people and women"
DEI was an active impediment to the project of building a multiracial working class movement capable of taking on corporate and oligarch power. Rufo did the left a favor in nuking it.
