      Jeet Heer Retweeted mind of mencius (still @theophite)

      I love how all it takes is one promotional video using the word "intersectional" for liberals to start lecturing me that the CIA is on the path to no longer hiring and tolerating racists. That shows a solid grasp of history, politics and social relations.https://twitter.com/Theophite/status/1389009821903380482 …

      Replying to @UnhWut

      My criticism is that we should be skeptical when institutions that historically serve reactionary ends start using language to win progressive support.

          Do you believe that the CIA can be not reactionary?

          Replying to @HeerJeet @UnhWut

          Is there any political discourse that is not susceptible to bad faith co-optation, at least in part? And should progressives/leftists immediately cede all such framing language to those we loathe as soon as they start manipulating it for their own ends?

          Psychology is prone to serving double agency thinking, which is a natural for those attracted to intelligence gathering/analysis work. Takes one to know one.

          Replying to @HeerJeet @UnhWut

          Like when the GOP uses class-based rhetoric about latte-drinking, wine-sipping, Prius-driving liberal elites who want to control the working man?

          I immediately took it to mean that irredeemable institutions co-opting redemptive language should not be trusted. But I'm also pretty aware that jeet had a dry ass wit bordering on Saharan
