      I think the folk who are surprised at Harsha Walia’s departure, and the impact of the “burn it all down” tweet, may have lost a little perspective on exactly what she said, and it’s context. And the fact that racists and misanthropes also latched on doesn’t change that

      The residential schools were maintained by the entire Canadian political & religious elite for over a century and no one person has been held accountable for that. One brown woman uses an idiomatic phrase & has to be punished. You see the problem?

          You’re pro-cancelation, Jeet. And you’re among the top ten or so media figures - along with Osita, Talia, et al - most responsible for defending the norm in the more rarefied New Yorker-subscription circles whereby women like this being fired over politics is now routine

          Canada declared it a genocide, paid $4.5B in payments, committed to paying more, established support services for victims of inter-generational trauma, and committed to the recommendations from the TRC. They need to do more, but what people do you suggest they hold accountable?

          She endorsed and encouraged the burning down of churches. All of Canada saw the problem with that.
