those 10 seconds clips for me was almost too much
Seattle unherd full#
I don't have a theory of mind that gives me an intuition who is the type of person that could willingly listen to a full hour of those sneering voices on Code Switch. Overlapping jurisdictions with different rules or, just as often, rules that everybody tacitly agreed to overlook. Marijuana laws have been in flux forever. Maybe some crazy redneck right wing prosecutor in Mississippi would try, but thats it.Įdit: This isn't just an immigration thing either. But, hey, everybody doing it means well so who's even gonna try to prosecute or end it? To do so would be unthinkably gauche and you would instantaneously receive terrific pushback from the online masses. Even I pretty much agree it would be wrong! I think we could easily get to the point where it's taken for granted that we all know that, sure, it might be technically "illegal" to charge a certain race extra or make them ineligible for some government benefit. Heck even our gracious hosts agree it would be wrong. For example, I'll point out we have millions of people who are not legally allowed to be in this country but who it is (quite understandably!) unthinkable to remove due to something like a victim narrative. We've been going down this road for a long time. I know it probably won't be too popular of me to say but I am incredibly pessimistic on this point.
(Also I looked it up, Job is a prophet in Islam! Learn something every day.) If I remember correctly (my biblical knowledge is a bit rusty) his wife's counsel was "curse God and die." Sounds like a summation of Code Switch's episode. But listening to what I've heard here, what keeps coming to mind is the story of Job.
I dont think I can bring myself to listen to that Code Switch show. It was obviously horrible, but seemed like one of the endless cruelties we now visit upon each other electronically. I was aware of this Holy Land foods thing back when it happened, but didn't really think about it too much. This stuff used to not worry me that much, it worries me a lot now, and I wish it didn't. I know we still mostly have a legal system that is blind to the victim narrative (and stays focused on the individual), but it's not hard to imagine that even being corrupted with this kind of justification too given how many of the people that exist within the legal system will be trained according to this way of seeing the world.
Given where the cultural left is, and thinking of this Seattle story (etc), what limits do exist that can't be explained away by a victim narrative? This stuff really starts worrying me when I cannot find the limits anymore. Not sure how this happened, but I just found myself driving around with a Ciabatta, some naan, and a loaf of pepperidge farm butter bread while listening to BARPOD. Important question: Which volcano were your rights thrown into? Asking for the volcanology community so we can warn of a possible future VEI 8. This was hard to get through - the sneering, condescending attitude from the Code Switch hosts towards a man who didn't even arguably do anything wrong is so painful.
Seattle unherd skin#
When "fees based on skin color/gender identity" were eye color: I used to listen to NPR nonstop but haven’t turned it on once in at least 3 years They’re as provincial as 19th-century English tourists, and they think they’re sophisticated. Genuinely unpleasant to listen to these clips. Keyword stuffing was discredited as an SEO tactic like a decade ago. Wadi's only "crime" is that he's spent the past 30 years working his backside off to create a better life for his family instead of being perpetually online. The condescension from the NPR hosts is hard to listen to.

Seattle unherd update#
After Katie describes how she and Jesse had their First Amendment rights literally murdered by an NYC venue and Jesse provides a weird update to last week's Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie/Akwaeke Emezi episode, the hosts talk about some reparations-related drama at Seattle's Pride and "Code Switch"'s strange decision to join the pileon against Majdi Wadi, a Palestinian-American businessman who did nothing wrong.
