I see it more like a cultural blinders thing, like Catherine Deneuve dismissing #MeToo because *she* didn't have any probs (or defending Polanski because she likes him and worked with him, w/o seeming to recognize any moral conflicts).

*I* didn't have most of these problems, but I do like to be open to those who did and do. I think that's kind of core to being liberal/progressive.

Even with the Playboy thing, it's like the Dylan line, "you never turned around to see the faces on the clowns as they did their tricks for you..." Sure, some clowns are happy, some not so much.

I wonder how big that ok boomer meme actually is. I play World of Warcraft and when I occasionally, more like rarely, see it in game chat or on the forums it gets shut down fast and doesn't get much backing. My sense is it's a meme that got a lot of play in the moment but didn't go viral.

The kids would say "OK BOOMER!" and roll their eyes.

Those type would not see the nuanced difference, that this was innocent fantasy role play that conveniently offered escape from drudgery, a favorite American narrative. Vs. the more cynical mau mauing elites of the time co-opting passionate activism to fill bored lives.

Two WOC get wealthy white women to pay to hear how white women support racism in the United States. This much better than the Diamond & Silk. I'm impressed.

Nostalgia - and the Mau-mau Gang(spell check warped it even worse?) Weird thinking wondering how these books even ended up in my hands. Divine providence?
