Maybe! I don’t know if there’s a lot to be said. I think being seen as good rather than being good has become a millstone around the neck of the liberal left. So that leads to a lot of public performance online around being one of the “good ones”, whether that’s a good white person or a good man or whatever.

And that ends up leading us to a place where we can’t bridge these kinds of gaps in discussion. It leads to a certain paralysis, because instead of trying to do a thing, we’re mostly posing around whether we look the right way doing it.

Like, if you have a game and you think it would contribute to a conversation, and everyone you trust does, but you can’t release it because either a) you’re worried about looking bad or b) you’re worried about someone looking good at your expense, that’s paralysis. And we have no language for how to bridge that.
