Zero Tolerance
Five years after the George Floyd protests, many liberals blame “wokeness” for stifling open debate. So why can’t they handle being disagreed with?

The Romance of Being Unreadable
In his debut novel, Ocean Vuong took pains to be illegible, then blamed the reader for reading. In his new book, he is finally ready to talk.

Turns out April 3 WAS liberation day--not from tariffs, but from Pamela Paul. Her reactionary liberalism paved the way for the authoritarianism we're hurtling toward. Andrea Long Chu's essay on Paul's contributions is not to be missed. nymag.com/intelligence...

Andrea Long Chu on the moms of the far center: nymag.com/intelligence...
We must remember that the family is one of the few openly authoritarian institutions in a liberal democracy.
The liberal tradition since at least Locke has understood parenting as a natural form of authority that, while it is no model for government, is a necessary response to the state of temporary insanity known as childhood. Paul would never claim that political life should resemble family life; what she does seem to say is that if society were more like a family, then politics could be largely replaced by sensible parenting. The task is simply to enlarge the family sphere until it covers the whole republic. This is why Paul's campaign against trans people has focused on "vulnerable" children— or really, their vulnerable parents, whom a horde of quacks and activists have stripped of their natural freedom to dominate the human beings in their care. This is the critical edge: where the reactionary liberal's singleminded pursuit of freedom leads her into the breathless endorsement of authoritarian violence. When Columbia's president called in a notoriously violent counterterrorism unit of the NYPD to raid the student encampments, Paul praised her for acting like a "real grown-up" in a sea of spoiled brats. "Let's hope this teaches the students a lesson," she wrote. "They clearly still have a lot to learn."
