What do progressives really want? by Lionel Shriver
Lisää:Consider for a moment the searing and unbearable nature of deeply felt shame—most recently manifested in the fabulist Cambridge academic Jason Arday. Did he flaunt his disgrace? No, he killed himself. Because real guilt makes you want to curl up in a ball and disappear. It’s nothing you advertise. During the post-Floyd delirium, did white progressives feel ashamed? No, they felt proud of themselves for claiming to feel ashamed. They broadcast their guilt expressly to exempt themselves from it. None of these folks felt personally culpable for the supposedly congenital sins of their own race. If you proclaimed you were guilty, then you weren’t.
