They're either unaware of them or deliberately excluded them, given this hilarious quote:
"The Civil Rights movement succeeded because it was guided by leaders who had clear, specific, and realistic goals, and were able to negotiate to achieve them"
This genre of essay appeals to self-adulating moderates who deeply enjoy respectability politics and pretending to be stoics, though, so the author is just staying on brand.
- polotics 2y agomaybe also the weird logic in this quote shows a discreet bias: """Generally, the Left-wing approach is more effective at getting attention; it took mass destruction by hundreds of Right-wingers in Southport to make news headlines, but it only took two Just Stop Oil activists with orange paint at Heathrow to achieve the same""" Clearly the Southport event thugs were not planning to stop breaking stuff once a certain level of public awareness and news reporting was achieved...

- cholantesh 2y agoWell they quite literally have a paywalled post entitled "Why I stopped being a leftist" which is sure to be as compelling as the other seventy times it was written by others.
