the worst part is all the dumbass liberals celebrating that letter as "god-level trolling" and so on

this is possibly worse than when Pelosi did a slow clap for Trump and all the brain-poisoned idiots were convinced it was some kind of super stealth lampooning of him

i think they think that Bret Stephens has a sense of shame and that no one knew he was a hypocrite prior to today. therefore they expect that he would be too ashamed to dare accept that invitation, because there's no way he would ever go be openly hypocritical in front of an audience

worth noting that Bret Stephens didn't go to the guy's boss

depending on the university's governance structure, it's more like he went to his boss's boss's boss

which is even better considering how much shittalking Bret does about academia without knowing anything about it

There is no point trying to defend Stephens’ action on the merits. It would have been one thing, perhaps, to berate the prof privately — but to drag in his university boss can’t but appear hypocritical, coming from a scribe who has devoted hundreds of column inches to denouncing the so-called cancel culture and censorious campus progressives.

Sweet defense. Good job.

obama said something about "wall street fat cats" in some speech for the midterms or whatever (while his administration was shoving money into their pockets) and at least one of them memorably said it was like hitler

then there was the time when cory booker was devastated that obama was being mean to his friends in private equity when he said mitt romney and bain capital were bad

it's because the ability to demand respect is a function of the power and position they hold

being able to criticize and insult whoever they want while simultaneously demanding respect and decorum isn't just a weird custom they have, it's an assertion of their power and influence. we're expected to respect them because, as employees of a prestigious nationally-famous media company they sit above us on the social and class ladders

if we disrespect them, we're threatening their perception of their position in the social order. and thus they reach out to our bosses - our direct superiors in the class system - to have us disciplined, confident in the knowledge that the bosses we see every day will bow to the word of an angry upper-class professional with media ties

if one of us emailed the university because we were offended by a professor's tweets, they sure wouldn't offer us an invitation to give a public on-campus speech about our complaints. that's special treatment that Bret got because of his position, rather than because of the content of his complaint. and although he didn't get the firing he wanted, he'll probably be mostly satisfied with this acknowledgement that he's a special superior person whose complaints are more influential than those of the probes and plebes

It’s such a baby attitude.

The power move is to not give a poo poo what politicians say about you in public. They’re doing their jobs by playing the political game, and at the end of the day, they’re in your pocket.
