Oh, I'd love to see him react to someone dismissing blessed AOC, semper wokinem, as a "Congressbunny".
Bobby, despite claiming to be "colleagues" with various journos, doesn't even begin to know how journalism works. Journalism is not about being led by your interviewer on a leash.
Maybe he should look for a job at CNN. Seems like he'd fit in well. (No, wait, they expect you to come in to work every day and do something.)
Bobby responds:
The depressing thing is that Bobby here sounds a lot like the round of sensitivity training I'm being subjected to at work right now. I mean, the stuff I'm getting is written better (grammatically, anyway) but his general train of attempted thought here - lack of change is bad / institutional power is based on race / we need to make the system better / "reparative" justice - is precisely what they're selling. Hell, he's even got the order right. (Lack of change was module 2. Power and systems was module 3, which ended with a promise that the next module would be about "interrupting bias for sake of justice". I'm getting strapped into the Ludovico chair for that in a few hours; pray for me.) [
EDIT: Thanks for the prayers, guys, they seem to have worked. My boss claimed a mysterious plumbing incident requires him to stay at home to let the plumber in - I think it's just that it's Friday and the weather is finally nice. So no commissar - I opened the web meeting, muted my speakers and read the Farms. Did the mandatory online were-you-actually-listening "test" when I got the invite, answered everything as if I was one of Bobby's Angels, got 100%. The diversity trainer sent me a fireworks GIF. Much like Arlo Guthrie in Alice's Restaurant, I didn't feel too good about it. ]
It's part of why I pay so much attention to Bob. Ironically, for all his insane and inept beliefs about the Superior Future, he seems to be an excellent predictor of the actual future. And yes, that
terrifies me.
