Thanks a lot for pointing this out so eloquently! Seems like the post really buried the lede there … And I should keep my eyes more open for those things. Fun

Thanks a lot for pointing this out so eloquently! Seems like the post really buried the lede there …
And I should keep my eyes more open for those things.
Funny how there's two complementary phrases that should ring the same alarm and are often used for the same (usually racist/classist/etc.) people:
- We've progressed beyond X, thus X is bad (and we're better for not doing X)
- We've always done X, thus X is good (and we're better for not doing Y)
(The parenthetical obviously just being an excuse for unfounded hate.)
