this andrea long chu paragraph sent me into outer space: www.vulture.com/article/post...
a quote from Andrea Long Chu's review of Thomas Chatteron Williams' new slopfest of a book: This is one legacy of 2020: the privatization of social justice. When writers like Williams speak of social justice today, theya re referring almost exclusively to the management of large companies, elite schools, and nonprofits backed by the wealthy. And why? Because critics of social justice tend to inhabit the exact professional milieu where social justice has been most thoroughly integrated with the endless pursuit of profit. It does not occur to Williams to ask why a Fortune 100 company would solicit a lecture from Thomas Chatteron Williams, a Black public intellectual who, just like kendi, tells people how to feel about race for a living. The social-justice warriors whom Williams most despises are not looters or rioters. They are people he encounters in the literary magazines he admires, the conferences he is invited to, and among his students and colleagues at Bard College; many of them are Obama Democrats whom he once regarded as comrades in the post-racial project. Liberal intellectuals like Williams have thus experienced the rise of DEI less as a generalized threat to the democratic oder and more like a personal betrayal by the institutions that they had, until recently, believed it was their job to defend. What they fear most is that liberals like them have been seudced by illiberal habits of thought. In other words, the greatest danger is not he barbarians at the gate; it's the barbarians safely behind it.
