This got a ton of likes and retweets but virtually all of the comments are picking it apart. I see this pattern a lot with leftwing ideas on this platform. I’m trying to figure out what it meanshttps://twitter.com/BernieSanders/status/1091034779770863616 …

That’s probably true. But I also look to the way right wing content naturally dominated, say, radio as a medium. And has arguably done with YouTube. Seems like there’s something there
But on Twitter left-wingers tend to have many more followers than conservatives.

Hmmm. I guess that’s true

Anyway, that kind of blatantly race-baitng and sex-baiting tweet (with the usual left wing white man twist of being racist and sexist against his own category) does (and should) trigger conservatives.

Yeah. For me it just triggers my distaste for bad logic. And the tricksy use of the term ‘equity’, which has no shared definition, which allows him to toss it out as a sub for ‘equality’ without having to explain the logic underneath what he’s saying

The tweet is a handful of numbers + pure instinctive hyperpaleo-egalitarian emotion, with practically all context stripped out and indeed beyond the comprehension of the vast majority of people liking and retweeting (and incapable of writing originally about) the tweet.

Catering to primitive and nearly mindless emotions is "empathy". You and I lack "empathy".

But we don’t lack for insightful tweets. Life is always about tradeoffs...
