I do not know how to express it well but so many of the problems of left discourse right now could be solved by specifically my undergrad lit professor.

A lot of the left seems preoccupied with going through every utterance anyone has ever made to find something “bad,” inevitably taking it out of context or misunderstanding it completely, and then demonstrating how that “proves” the person is terrible and irredeemable.
When you understand that it is all about competition for the declining number of good jobs, it starts to make a lot more sense.
