That photo of Harris is really really nice. Shame about the context. Anyway, the one thing I dislike greatly about the whole "intellectual dark web" phenomenon is that it plays into the small ragtag team of rebels propaganda narrative that has the supposed SJW-Activist class has valorized themselves as since the beginning. These are all well to do academics and entertainers who live more or less well off lifestyles that are quite distant and different than the majority of people do. Both sides want to claim they represent some form of counter culture, rebellion or whatnot facing off against a monolithic omnipotent empire but they all have more in common than not. It is a war in heaven being raged through blogs, Ted Talks and various internet news outlets. This is not to say that they or their enemies do not have some legitimate grievances or have no trickle down effect on to the rest of the world, but that the conflict is anemic and over-hyped. Call me when Sommers or Weinstein yells "NIGGER" from a podium in front of some graph depicting IQ scores by race before being assassinated by a non-binary latinx anarcho-syndicalist wielding an AMR from a wheelchair....or they get more interesting arguments.
