How on earth has someone with zero talent like Harris managed to keep his position as "journalist" and earn a living all these years? A man so deficient in judgement and lacking any grasp of what is happening in the real world as opposed to the land-locked media bubble he inhabits? What is it like to have such thoughts in your head? I am truly baffled by how he manages to function as a human being' living as he does in fantasy-land.

Re: From Trump’s victory, a simple, inescapable message: many people despise the left
"...The result is an agenda often expressed with a judgmental arrogance, and based around behavioural codes – to do with microaggressions, or the correct use of pronouns – that are very hard for people outside highly educated circles to navigate..."
-It's never struck Harris that the problem is not that these things are "Hard to navigate"...but for those NOT sucked into identity politics there is simply no will to do so. The entire edifice is merely considered bullshit & worthy of contempt.
It's not to do with "the left" either because that would involve commonality. Identity politics is about distinctions and reinforcing them: the language " dificulty": those " codes" are merely a modern form of that old class divider named "etiquette": which dictated who belonged to the to ruling class ingroup by the way they held their china teacup.

Thanks Ken,very well put, a cogent and relevant argument, which I'll try to recall in my next argument on the matter with a Green Party member (as they've all gone down that rabbit hole)
