Yeah. Those people are the problem and I refuse to rewrite history to try to protect the twitter generation
Just like I don't like pretending that history is different because it doesn't line up with our teams narrative. Because what is the point of history if not to learn from it? And once we start rewriting it to fit political narratives... I mean, everyone knows that is why Obama failed to prevent 9-11, right?
My responses were certainly not rewriting history. BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front) has been a thing for a long time. Your first line does a disservice to the rest of the much more nuanced and interesting comment.
A Bottom Line like

You did what a lot of us do. You saw something you didn't like and immediately felt backlash and a need to insist it was wrong. We all have this blindspot because we spend our entire digital (and sometimes analog...) lives in a bubble where our (favorite influencers') Reality is constantly reinforced and anything that differs is hidden by The Algorithm.
The good thing is that, once you actually read, you realized you agreed with much of the sentiment being expressed. But you still have an overwhelming need to insist something is wrong because... it goes against your Reality.
Which... is how a LOT of people became so anti-science.
It IS wrong if that's the one line you read. And I'm not worried about me having a blindspot because of it (in this instance), but everyone else it might influence.
