Ah, those heady months immediately following the martyrdom of St. Floyd, when there was literally nothing you couldn’t write that would not be published, praised, and accepted by the NPC masses as long as you couched it in oppressor-privileged dynamics. There was nothing you couldn’t get canceled, to include syrup mascots; nothing you couldn’t get corporations to do to bend the knee to the “social justice” movement, no matter how absurd or out of proportion to reality; no amount of “doing the work” you couldn’t get “privileged” people and groups to do, no matter how absurd or out of proportion to reality. I remember this article and it had it all: absurdity, oppressor-privileged dynamic, a major corporate newspaper lacking the guts to send said absurdity back to the drawing board (they probably thought their paper should “do the work!”), complete lack of proportionality (what did she expect, all architecture to be torn down and replaced with buildings more reminiscent of pussies, somehow)… this article is post-Floyd 2020 in miniature.

We’re obviously still experiencing stuff like this to some extent, but there was literally nothing else going on for about six months after Floyd croaked. And at least some individuals are starting to develop the guts to stand up to the absurdity in 2023. In 2020 there was almost no resistance. So that’s a small positive, at least!
