Is there a name for this? Is further discussion needed?

It's probably only a matter of time before we get a thinkpiece like "it's actually bad that the fediverse is so nice and positive all the time, being around toxic people taught me how to be tough" and it'll be written by some cishet white dude who contributes to wapo and whose only experience with online harassment is when a bunch of people on Twitter told him to get corncobbed in 2015

St. Louis police want permission to mace nonviolent protesters — again. Attorneys argue that everyone owes the police a "debt of gratitude" because St. Louis didn't experience "full-scale riots" in 2017 after ex-cop Jason Stockley was acquitted of murder. https://www.riverfronttimes.com/newsblog/2019/04/03/st-louis-police-want-permission-to-mace-nonviolent-protesters-again

"Bernie Sanders Emerges as Trump of the Left", a new thinkpiece by Washington Post.

Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with you guys?!

Like sure, there are legit issues to be raised about him, but all you really have is that he's an old white man that's blaming a specific elite group for America's problems.

First of all, he's JEWISH, you fucks. Secondly, in a liberal context, his statements aren't very Trump-like at all. That the wealthiest people and entities tilt everything in their favor should come as no surprise to anyone at this point.

What kind of a world have we built where we have to justify, in writing, something as natural as parents visiting their children? That’s exactly what I just had to do so my Turkish parents can get a visa to visit me in Ireland. Here’s the letter of invitation I just wrote.
