Hmm, resounding success = ‘questions remain’

Chris Kennett @chriskennett.bsky.social · 2d

oh no

Chris Kennett @chriskennett.bsky.social · 2d

silence is complicity. Disappointing

They care for a week until too many new things have piled up and they forget. It’s been this way for a while.

Ball storage

Chris Kennett @chriskennett.bsky.social · 15d

Yeah I get it. No one has time or energy to retread that stuff.

Chris Kennett @chriskennett.bsky.social · 15d

Very gracious Phil. I’ll update my phrasebook and reading list and plough on with trying to make a difference where I can. Good luck with your efforts.

Chris Kennett @chriskennett.bsky.social · 15d

Not sure Camarón. What do any of us expect when we post?

Chris Kennett @chriskennett.bsky.social · 15d

Well I disagree with that assessment, but I will apologise for what was obviously an unnecessary argument.

Chris Kennett @chriskennett.bsky.social · 15d

you got me. You win!

Chris Kennett @chriskennett.bsky.social · 15d

Much to consider. You make good points about use of language and I’m going to think on that. While I do believe there are genuine, self-defeating issues in progressive politics I can see that phrases like ‘.
purity testing’ are loaded and unhelpful.

Chris Kennett @chriskennett.bsky.social · 15d

I dunno Phil. An assumption got instantaneously made that I’ve argued in bad faith or from complete ignorance and it’s just not true. If some of my words match unfortunate patterns, so be it. Many of yours do too. I’ll admit that there was no need for me to wade in but the hostility is unwarranted

Chris Kennett @chriskennett.bsky.social · 15d

Gee I wish they’d react to what I’d actually said rather than what they think it sounds like.

Chris Kennett @chriskennett.bsky.social · 15d

Stop it Phil, you’re going to make me like you

Chris Kennett @chriskennett.bsky.social · 15d

Do you genuinely not see how the repeated insistence on checking whether I have the correct or incorrect political alignment, frequently by assigning me one and forcing me to confirm or deny it, is purity testing?

Different symbolism I would have thought.

Chris Kennett @chriskennett.bsky.social · 15d

once again, purity testing. Very productive.

Chris Kennett @chriskennett.bsky.social · 15d

great. The ‘he thinks he’s a cwever wittle boy’ bit never gets tired

Chris Kennett @chriskennett.bsky.social · 15d

Not remotely

Chris Kennett @chriskennett.bsky.social · 15d

oh cool we’re back to this now

Chris Kennett @chriskennett.bsky.social · 15d

Loathe as I am to go back to it again… my take was that there was not a comparable event (ie large scale demolition) in any recent enough administration in order to be able to make a meaningful comparison of the public’s bias. Eg it’s not like Obama or Clinton bulldozed a wing.

Chris Kennett @chriskennett.bsky.social · 15d

My humblest apologies. There are probably many 90 year olds out there with vivid memories of the Truman administration.
