    Michael Tracey Retweeted Will Wilkinson  🌐

    Because the IDW purport to be principled opponents of modern "outrage culture," except when it comes to issues they are personally outraged by, such as criticism of Israel. Hence, the pose is a facade, as this bizarre long-winded exchange last night showedhttps://twitter.com/willwilkinson/status/1096985561221476352 …

    I'm baffled. Why not just address Glenn's criticism in good faith? The consistent IDW view should be that Omar is calling it as she sees it, and people shouldn't try to shut down conversation by screaming "bigot!" at her. But that's not what we're hearing. Why not?

        The IDW is a sham. There is nothing "intellectual" about it and the only thing dark about them is the cash funding they receive from corporate lobbyists.

        Exactly. People lie. Look to their actions to know them. They can claim they’re against outrage all they want, and so many people believe those words at face value, but fail to enact their principles. There’s always an exception. Which means it’s just a facade, like Tracey says.

        I agree but much of their criticism is needed and the concept of building a "sense-making" network outside of the corrupted establishment is important.

        That's an interesting point. I had never thought about the "IDW" in that vein. However, I do feel that their framing of the conversation is rather tendentious.

        The idw is not a monolith. You have Dave who doesn't have the intellect to weigh seriously on topics, Ben who's not honest about a lot, BW who's a biologist, Sam who has good insight but he doesn't jump into it straight away, etc. Criticize away, but focus on individuals.

        Try to figure out the real intentions behind different stmts. I don’t know, but Thiel Capital may want further instability in the Middle East to up the demand for & ‘need’ of Palantir offerings. Contracts w powerful states pay off for a long time

        They march in file on SJWs being bad and bigotry not being a problem in today's society. Their variety of views on other issues helps hold up an illusion of objectivity and critical thinking that's at a higher level than cable news, but under the surface they're no better.

        Merely criticizing Israel outrages almost no one. It's delegitimizing Israel, wishing to see it economically strangled, or siding with those who want it destroyed that provokes outrage. Not mere criticism.
