One of the biggest news failures after the #BAFTA awards was the failure to seek out lived experiences from people on the topic, instead simply amplifying it. Thankfully @jumaane.bsky.social took to social media with thoughts as a Black man with Tourette Syndrome and corpolalia.

"Oh, I didn't want *this* much racism & xenophobia! I just wanted a little bit, the fun kind! I just wanted to say 'retard', I didn't want a eugenicist in charge of health policy!"
Oh? You didn't want this? Yeah, fuck off. Fuck off to space. Fuck off to eternity. Fuck off & never stop fucking off.
Here's the problem, though. If you stand up to tanks in the streets, everyone will agree you're a Brave Hero. But if you stand up to the small things -- stopping the train before it really gets started -- you will be coded as *annoying*, as uptight, as moralistic, as uncool.

These things always start small, with efforts to weaken the norms against discrimination, with casual, unreflective slurs.

By that time the remedies are often armed rebellion or invasion by another country or, at the very least, extended general strikes. Cat's out of the bag.
