As suggested at this thread to general “yeah sounds cool”. Let’s see if this goes anywhere.
Original inspiration:
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be)
If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to make it a post, there’s no quota here
Literally paid the price. In the sense that France charged Haitians cash for their own bodies as formerly enslaved people, the US supported France in this, Citibank eventually bought the debt, and Haiti spent 122 years buying themselves free. The most obvious case for reparations one could make and France DGAF and neither does Citi.
(I assume the podcast goes into all of this but clarifying for anyone else who does a drive-by. Usually “paid the price“ is a metaphor. Not here.)
