We Live in a Golden Age of Crybullyism

I find myself sympathetic to people like Oxman that are catching strays. Attacking someone's family as a proxy isn't holding them accountable, it is bullying.

The language of victimization is dangerous. There was a time when it might have seemed liberatory when applied to "marginalized" populations but the categorical imperative always gets you in the end...

People here focus on a plagiarist who was caught in her husband's crusade, but it really miss the point. Whining because a lot of people were mean to you one one side, and crushing people on the other side is becoming a trend, and I'm not surprised.

Another day another episode of the “Legacy Media vs Billionaires”. Today: Media strikes back. Quite the hit job, too: light on facts but quite strong in name calling, insinuations and quick judgements. Journalism has adapted quite well to our modern times.

The political class the author belongs to (left-leaning intellectuals) may not have created this trend, but they did popularize it. It’s obvious that the author and his ilk believe that only people who are suffering have value or deserve to have opinions. Of course sociopaths are going to try and appear like they are suffering in response. Sleep in the bed you helped make, Adam.

I don't know anything about Neri Oxman, but she didn't suddenly become a public figure by virtue of what Ackman did. "Holding her accountable" (to use their dishonest words) is itself mean and bullying.

I love it when the wokest of the woke mob get outed with revelations about their past history. Maybe the "church of modern day woke" could borrow something about repentance & forgiveness from other much older religions but that was never part of the doctrine from the very beginning.
