Do people find it amusing that the thread implies that although only a tiny fraction of people today would’ve had the courage to oppose slavery, people like George and Weinstein would have because they’re against political correctness and whatnot?https://twitter.com/BretWeinstein/status/1278827352496074752 …

Weinstein, definitely yes, and likely many more of the IDW crowd see themselves this way. But George has more humility and doesn't see himself as some valiant hero of the current drama.
The IDW crowd is quite strange when you think about it. A few years in, seems more like a marketing collective than a coherent worldview. People who became famous for their victimization rather than their prior work.

There’s that, and also a lack of self-awareness. I agree that it’s more in line with Weinstein to like the thread because of what it might seem to imply about himself (heroic) than for George to be offering it for that reason in his own case.

(I still think you can read it into the original George remark, but what made me draw the connection was Weinstein tweeting it—made the thought more obvious.)
