      This is my main point about the ending of The Emperor's New Clothes being wrong Unpopular pariahs DO get their ideas vindicated by reality and society DOES change its mind, a lot, cynical takes on this story notwithstanding But they don't come back and apologize to youhttps://twitter.com/nberlat/status/1288160161757044745 …

      Studies of whistleblowers show it's typical for whistleblowers to stay blacklisted from their professions long term and to die in poverty INCLUDING and ESPECIALLY when they were proven right and their original employer goes down in flames The "troublemaker" stigma remains

          Being Cassandra means falling on your sword Nobody actually likes you for proving they were wrong and showing they made a big mistake They'll hate you for it and resent you forever You get punished for being right ALL THE TIME

          History books constantly heap scorn on people for being "ahead of their time" "Although his abolitionist views would seem unremarkable today, Charles Sumner was remembered by his colleagues as an intemperate attention seeker who did his cause more harm than good"

          What, because he thought slaveowners were pustulent shitstains and he said so all the time? Fuck you man If that made him "hard to work with" it means his colleagues were all shitty people, not him

          This always happens, again and again The "loud intemperate attention seeking SJWs" point out the Emperor has no clothes Then ten years after he dies the centrist mainstream finally passes a bill acknowledging his nudity and pats themselves on the back for making progress

          And then turn around and scold the SJWs saying maybe if they'd been less right less early on their cause would've benefited from them presenting as less "extremist" "Why did Sumner have to go and get himself almost beaten to death by saying such inflammatory things"

          Replying to @arthur_affect

          It's probably even worse: these whistleblower *Took Down Their Bosses*: you'ne not seen as a troublemaker anymore: you're seen as a genuine, powerful *threat* by your superiors AND by all the colleagues who know they've been complacent or complicit to abuse.
