Bouvard on Woke Right Strategy and Jury Poisoning
Maybe the strategy of the "woke right" is simply to poison the jury pool on a national scale so that no one can ever get convicted for a crime they want to remain indefinitely open. They could then use that for leverage with elected officials who want credit for punishing high
profile criminals. But, if they could do that, they could also make it very difficult for any candidate who opposes them to win just by running campaigns of slander against them. This is why there is a shared interest in shutting them down, but also why individuals are hesitant.
This would just be the elevation of the power of rumor to the scale of a permanent form of political organization--which in a sense just crystallizes what journalism has always been, so the stakes and opportunities are higher than just stamping out this particular mill.
@OmriBenTal What makes you think civil society was ever real?
