this frequently quoted line is mine. i was not calling you, reader, a white cishet man. i am sorry for the clumsy phrasing and i believe i genuinely hurt some my comrades who are POC, trans/GNC, gay, and women. i used “white cishet man” as a placeholder for “very privileged person.”
I am explicitly calling for your resignation after that not-pology.
Why has that not happened already?

michael parenti is dead
i forgot this is reddit where everything older than a day is soft deleted
if you genuinely think posting like this is constructive then it is my bad for assuming you were reachable
Two Minutes Hate is generally discouraged, but telling someone reasonably engaging to kay why ess for not liking their unfunny pet project maybe should get a touch grass ban before their impassioned reply guy?
Unbanning Melina the first time was an unforced error, from which we are now reaping.
