Actually, that reminds me: I talked about a lot of this on the
@dailystoic podcast with@RyanHoliday this weekend — beginning with a shoutout to@HenryMcEric for introducing me to that amazing Philip Larkin poem (“They fuck you up, your mum and dad…”). Podcast linked here!https://twitter.com/dailystoic/status/1429065844911480835 …

But for the parts I now see as harmful, I’ve had to find a whole new paradigm. For me, “not that thing she did!” isn’t nearly strong enough of a fix — because without a viable alternative, it’s so natural and easy to revert to what you know. Even if it’s the last thing you want.

I loved this piece. There is so very much that my mother did right in her parenting, and I think of her with an effusion of love and joy when those things spontaneously come out of me.https://twitter.com/bethanyshondark/status/1430202117101400075 …

The first culture has an "innocent until proven guilty" mentality. The second culture is all about "guilty because accused," "guilty by association," and "guilty forever." And it relishes doling out the harshest of punishments. We all have both of these cultures in us.

Awareness of the two cultures and how they're always battling. And courage to stand up for the first culture and push back against the second. Awareness is key, but awareness without courage doesn't do much.

A culture that sees all people as flawed is compassionate and forgiving—a safe place that encourages creativity and independence. A culture that sees people as either angels or demons is always full of fear, shame, and disgust—a terrifying place that encourages only conformity.

All of this. Using a national newspaper to deliberately obscure the context of a viral story to validate a mob’s cruelty is journalistic malpractice as far as I’m concerned. Trust in American institutions is falling apart, and these sorts of practices are the cause.https://twitter.com/shadihamid/status/1423416552934739981 …

“Karen” and similar pejoratives — they just make my skin crawl. We had a bunch at Westboro. “Earth dwellers.” “Rebels.” Etc. The dismissiveness, the superiority, the condescension — that was me for so long. The idea of that mindset pervading the culture at large…I shudder.https://twitter.com/FJnyc/status/1423020009694040072 …

That's why kindness, empathy and forgiveness are essential to a healthy community

Many arguing in my mentions: “If only Amy didn’t X!” “If only Christian didn’t Y!” Trying to find who deserves empathy, & who, judgment. *Both* acted in ways vulnerable to criticism. That’s part of the point. Life is messy. Not angels & demons. Humans. Let’s tread lightly.

I’m so grateful to work with people like
@bariweiss and@kmele who were willing to stick their necks out on this story. Thanks for demonstrating that telling hard truths can be done with kindness and empathy. A rare art in this moment.

And for the Record: This isn’t about absolution; it’s about the *necessarily complicated truth*. It’s also about legions of journalists ostensibly committed to finding that truth — and a systematic incuriousness that threatens to undermine their efforts. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-real-story-of-the-central-park-karen/id1570872415?i=1000530855326 …https://twitter.com/katrosenfield/status/1422564761804361731 …

This is a sad, frustrating story. I very much hope we can learn from it, and come out better for it.

Watching the destruction of Amy Cooper — the “Karen” who called police on a black man in Central Park — I felt a strong echo of Westboro. I didn’t want to believe that comparison was accurate. After hearing
@Kmele’s reporting, I’m convinced that it is.https://bariweiss.substack.com/p/the-real-story-of-the-central-park …Kiitos. Käytämme tätä aikajanasi parantamiseen. KumoaKumoa -
I’m not sure it was conscious, but the parallels seem undeniable — and very sad/disturbing to watch.

It strikes me that during the time since
@meganphelps became distinctly unlike Westboro Baptist, the rest of the culture - all persuasions - decided to consciously ape them.Kiitos. Käytämme tätä aikajanasi parantamiseen. KumoaKumoa -
I also think people underestimate the massive joy in discovering you’ve been very wrong—the freedom to examine ideas and evidence without an ideological narrative constraining everything. It can be terrifying to explore that territory, but also mind-blowing in the best way.

I think people underestimate what a massive burden it is—believing there is *one* right answer, that *you* have it, & that you must defend it at all costs…even when it means flattening the humanity of others, or of yourself.https://twitter.com/slightchangepod/status/1408051582437056518 …

Thoughts: 1. Lurking on Crypto Twitter is the most fun I’ve had on here in half a decade. 2. Crypto is the future. 3.
@mcuban agrees with me.
He told @bariweiss that DeFi is the best thing we can do for our finances after paying off credit cards.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/honestly-with-bari-weiss/id1570872415?i=1000525375095 …Näytä tämä ketjuKiitos. Käytämme tätä aikajanasi parantamiseen. KumoaKumoa
