Smollett wants a race war as much as the Christchurch shooter. They just have different ways of going about getting what they want. I can't help but feel that him getting off scott free will further aggravate the tensions between identity groups.


Islamophobia, Anti-Semitism, and the problem of compelled speech

If your sympathy for a good cause has to meet a “compelled speech” standard to be considered sincere, then who is the more admirable character? In this parody of bullying virtue-signallers (not a trope in use at the time), we see that often those “wearing the ribbon” are more concerned about showcasing the “correct” public expression of their sympathy than the plight of the actual victims they are marching for. Bullying those who eschew conforming symbols thus provokes contempt for the bullies and respect for the genuine sincerity of the non-conformist.
