The Guardian once again spits in the face of the woke witch hunters' victims, minimizing us as collateral damage in the ultimate service of a noble cause.
The Guardian columnist as a class entity will ALWAYS assume the highest moral position, because they cannot conceive of a world in which they aren’t the most moral. In fact they conceive of themselves as the arbiters of moral truth itself. They don’t make mistakes, because in hindsight they can always flip the script. For example, when you or I, mere bumbling humans, make a mistake they would say our intentions don’t matter, only effects matter. But when a woman is raped by a “trans” identified man on a “single-sex” hospital ward Owen Jones will say the intent, to pander to the feefees of poor little marginalised “trans” folx, is more important and noble than the real life consequences. They cannot even see they are doing it. One rule for thee, another for me. They accord themselves a rampant moral privilege, and they never examine it.
"This is the inevitable path of a movement that exists solely to be more activist-y than everyone else." Rob Henderson wrote in his recently published book about the elites at the Ivys: the need to signal their separation from the masses (my words) through their clothes, vacations, social manners, etc. I believe you're both talking about the same behavior and I think back to my younger days and people who always had to be "in the know." These types would mention some obscure musicians, the latest fad starting up, the newest party drug and then smirk when the rest of us were unaware of this stuff that doesn't matter. I believe it had the same purpose, to exhibit their specialness, as those who are more activist-y.
Hear hear, well said. The stinking self-righteous Guardian. I detest the paper, but am forced to read it so that I cannot be accused o
f not seeing both sides. Owen Jones is a jumped up little embarrassment and all my safe, don't get our hands dirty peers still continue to read the Guardian and only the Guardian. But sanity is on the up thanks to people like you and those mentioned in your great article. And indeed let us never stop mentioning what they did, especially when they squirm to jump ship to the sane side now the Cass review is out. Cowards.
WHY ARE ALL THESE COMMENTS SO GOOD? Oh my god, you people. You're blowing my mind!

Hi Arty
Great analysis, thanks.
The Guardian have just published a piece by Dr David Bell!! Is there an internal war now going on post Cass?
