There's a widespread complaint against "Manichean" leftists splitting the world into good and evil sides of any issue, but there's a substantial observable coalition of the right against social justice and human rights as a principle.
it's not Manichean to notice collaborators collaborating.

I think this is a bit of sexism. Women are seen as either 'youthful' or invisible once they become 'old'. "I can't believe JLo is 50 woah I usually completely ignore 50 year olds" etc.
I am 36 and I look 36. I am the same age as Taylor Swift and Brie Larson and AOC who also look 36.

Radical abolitionist John Brown was executed on this day in 1859 for trying to spark a revolution to free millions held in bondage.

Swedish Social Democracy is often idealized as a reformist force that delivered welfare to the grateful masses.
Yet the Swedish social model was the product of conflict — and a working-class radicalism that the Social Democrats have now turned against.

Friedrich Engels was born 205 years ago today.
We should thank him for helping out his friend Karl Marx — but also for the critique of capitalism he produced in his own right.

you need to be able to demonstrate an understanding of what you did, empathy towards those affected, a resolution if applicable, and an action plan or a reasonable effort to prevent such things from re-occuring in the future.
"oh but they apologized so it's fine!" is NEVER inherently acceptable.

In my early 20s I felt so self conscious that everyone expected me to have everything figured out even though I was doing everything in life for the first time. Now that I am in my 30s, I now understand that nobody has anything figured out and feel way more comfortable admitting I don't know things.
