I'm sure that won't go wrong or impact certain groups at all.

There's a lot of content on the internet today that I just don't want to see. Coincidentally, while I had a conversation with people about the benefits of intersectionality a Robin DiAngelo follower joined. This person masked themselves as "just asking questions" and then proceeded to do the oddest form of theatrical racism and subsequent victim position seeking I've ever seen. As much as I'd love to "ostracize" this person and never hear of them again, as much as my day would've been far better without knowing people like this exist, I don't think it's right to ostracize people. That's how we got flat Earth to get so big. We mocked, ostracized, and argued them out of common spaces until they created their own. I'd rather flat Earthers and DiAngelo followers find their way back to rational society, not out from it forever.

Big mistake in my opinion.

DiAngelo followers don't generally like intersectionality because their views are incompatible with it.

    […] the political establishment’s hostility towards the idea of Twitter being purchased and run by new free speech–friendly management.
It wasn’t (just) the „political establishment“ that considered it a bad idea. Even the buyer thought it was a terrible mistake just hours after making the deal. And they were all right!

Only the „free-speech friendly management“ has been most notable for firing a bunch of people for criticizing him or making fun of his advertisers.
