I understand and empathize with people who are the but of jokes finally being able to speak up. I’m definitely glad to see the trend you’re talking about. I also see a parallel trend that you don’t seem to see, and seem disinterested in seeing.

As someone with autism I’m used to the idea of “people will randomly get very angry at you for crossing social lines” and do not like seeing entirely new lines created and moved constantly. The creators of these lines cross them with impunity.

My wife is Chinese. She finds “person of color” vs “colored person” very confusing and prefers to just say nothing lest she be accused of racism. So yes, empathy’s in fully play here. It just extends outside the limits of the self righteous blue tribe.

I can see a comparison to massive economic global growth. Poverty is way way down world wide, while the Us middle clsss is struggling. I’d argue that overall economic freedom is up, for the extremely wealthy and the poorest of the world.

Exactly. That's the right analogy here. Hans Rosling graphs basically. Substitute identity groups for nations for the global map.

So what do you make of all the (relatively wealthy western liberals) hating on neoliberalism? As I can see it, the values that got us here are under attack from all sides.

And dude Antonio we've been talking past each other for weeks now. Let's get a drink in Seattle before we argue again.
