      He was 30 years old and in a position of authority (a teacher at a private school). But your cool with this.

      Oh, come on: it was much more fun when you said Mr. Pendant. I actually thought you were kidding around, but then I remembered social justice types don’t have much of a sense of humor. i’m not cool w it – I think it’s forgivable. Do you not? (I don’t particularly like the guy)

      Also it certainly says something about you that you assumed that I’m cool with it. Everyone who disagrees with you must be alt-right adjacent, I suppose. Bizarrely enough, one can be against racism and “cancel culture.”

      You linked to a story about a guy dressing in brownface and you said nothing about the racism and complained about cancel culture (despite the fact that no one is calling for Trudeau to be cancelled). There are some pretty obvious conclusions one can draw from that fact.

          If you have the right cast of mind. I grew up in a household of Jewish liberals – of course the racism is bad. Anyway, have a good evening – you can ferret out thoughtcrimes on someone else’s time.

          Justin is not really in the cancellable group. Others doing the same would be, however.

          Agreed. He’s not invulnerable, but it would take a lot to “cancel” him.

          One *could* draw those conclusions, but why? How many people do you encounter on the daily who are “cool with” blackface?

          O, favorite smart people, please don’t fight! I don’t like what Trudeau did. But our hindsight just isn’t being applied uniformly yet. I don’t have the answer, but I’m not comfortable with the lack of consistency or context.
