Let's see how many leftists and libs here will condemn this piece
I read the article, its not as bad as the OP is trying to make it out to be. She's saying that people in privileged institutions, like Yale, tend to look the other way when their peers are less than ideal in character and that this lack of accountability leads to these less than ideal individuals taking up positions of serious consequence. This characterization of what her articleGrammar Gnazi aside, what do you think about the substance of the article?
is grossly uncharitable and misleading. She's not asking for Baathist style surveillance of white boys, she's asking that people in privileged institutions like Yale have a duty to hold one another accountable because so many go on to hold positions of power.She’s urging her fellow students to follow white males around, monitor them, spy on them, screenshot them, and document everything they do, in the hopes of ruining their careers at some point 30 years down the line.
I do not like the way she makes the point, focusing too much on race, and I question some of the assumptions embedded in her article, like Kavanaugh's guilt or the gravity of minor insults on Facebook PM, but its still a molehill being turned into a mountain.
