Solid strategy, capitulate to demands while insisting you don’t have to, showing you have neither principles or conviction at the same time.
Ah yes, this reminds me of the time I got to see Cornell West live at my campus and then I asked how much the school were paying him to speak, and it was some way too large sum, and I told them that their politics was ineffective showmanship and if they were actually cared they would straight up give all that money to the kitchen staff. And that was how I was barred from meetings for a year.
I’m glad I immediately dismissed him as another woke gibbering PMC radlib no different than the idealist/utopian socialist grifters and opportunists wandering around Jerusalem in Jesus’s time.
I feel kinda bad. Cornell got played like a godamn fiddle. Doesn’t deserve this.
He isn’t getting played, he is playing himself.
Lenin took money from Germany, didn’t mean that he defended the humanity of the Kaiser as a staunch anti-Tsarist or whatever.
This comment is really funny. I loved.
I guess I will see you in the other side of Cornell’s glorious revolution.
The point is that you can take the bag and not lick the arse of whomever gave it to you, but Cornell West managed to not only fumble the bag, as a ‘jazz man’, but still decided to defend them.
