i kind of can’t believe someone as sane as xeni is going to be on a panel with someone as insane as ann coulter - meaning: i’m not sure if meaningful dialog can arise there because coulter is not seemingly interested in dialog.
coulter, and many of her ilk, seem mainly about publicity and the currency of controversy. but, many of them already have a platform - the president is evidence of that if nothing else - so it doesnt seem like this sort of event enables them. perhaps it’s more like trying to deal with their already established existence.
personally, i think it would be really cool to hear a conversation about pc culture and censorship with mainstream liberals and antifascists. because, i feel like it’s somewhere between those two points we should be heading.
but, attempting to deal with the reality of the current moment seems reasonable. i can only imagine how trippy the weekend will be.
( good luck, xeni! )
