This week, Thomas Chatterton Williams insinuated that the Columbia protesters were just like the “Jan 6 rioters,” because if you operate at an extremely misleading level of abstraction and ignore all context, then students and insurrectionists were both engaging in “laying siege to property.”
All you’ll ever get from Chatterton Williams is pretentious nonsense intended to legitimize elitist, reactionary, anti-“woke” impulses by presenting them as reasonable, cultured, intellectual musings. A faux-intellectual eagerly doing his part to entrench the status quo against egalitarian threats.
well, now you’ll NEVER be invited to the château
I am not a believer in nominative destiny, but naming your child after a child prodigy literary scam artist is maybe not the wisest move 🤷🏻♀️ and now here we are
The original Thomas Chatterton achieved fame as a literary forger and killed himself at 17. I really need to know what Williams's parents were thinking. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_...
People making this same comparison on Twitter were the straw that caused my current hiatus from that platform. My cup (timeline) ranneth over with stupidity & I couldn't take it.
Hey Walter, your myopia is showing, and your reason isn't.
Jan 6 was merely the last attempt at a coup d'etat whose other earlier elements had failed... but (shrugs shoulders) ..
no biggie, hey Walt!
