Yes, yet another sad moment the „spot the mistake“ game seems a level too high here...
If one wants to see a silver lining in this whole incident, it’s that it helped make the deep contempt for certain minorities surface that’ve been lingering in nettime’s viscera. Therefore I also do think It’s an important question Angela posed. Brian, you criticised AB for flaws in his ‚political theory‘, yes, and thanks for that - But is cocking one’s head and patiently explaining everything to a verbally very grown-up abuser, At the cost of women and POC, really the right way to change sth? I don’t think so. With his „anti-filter-bubble“ request, AB has very skilfully lulled everyone Into believing they are anti-democratic when not accepting his kind of speech. But what he has actually done by this, is extending his very own wellness-zone. > Am 04.11.2018 um 01:12 schrieb Angela Mitropoulos > <[email protected]>: > > It is a simple and straightforward question that I would like answered.
