@antifascistdad: Ezra Klein quoted a Buddhist prayer to Ta-Nehisi Coates… right after Coates was talking about MLK’s murder. This isn’t wisdom or empathy—it’s podcast brain + liberal squish vibes. Equipoise is great but ≠ antifascist strategy. And I forgot the most important thing! "I don't know what my role is" is a DESIRABLE state of mind in white convert Buddhism. 📕 Antifascist Dad out April 2026 (North Atlantic Books). 👉 Preorder: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/807656/antifascist-dad-by-matthew-remski/ #EzraKlein #Coates#podcast #AntifascistDad #FightFascism #ParentTok #BookTok

He never had a role. He wants a place as a character on The West Wing.

He launders passivity as intellectualism for liberals

i feel like i often see Coates navigating these convos with pretentious people who just like to hear themselves talk. and he's always so grounded and able to cut through it

Ezra just swung to the right the first time he felt discomfort on the left instead of holding the moral line

Perfect end!! Ezra has a choice to make. He is TELLING US he is NOT equipped to deal with the Facism that is on our streets as we speak. Then MOVE and ponder eslewhere! Get out of our way and let the ones ready to fight Facism lead and advise the party!! Bravo!! @antifascistdad

That "during peace time" is what stuck out to me the most because TNC basically was like "Black ppl have NEVER been in peace time in this country. Welcome to the real world" and Klein was just not getting it.

plain and simple privilege. "I can be dispassionate because none of this really affects me. It's just an interesting topic to ponder for me."

Klein is the Jordan Peterson of neoliberalism. Its wild so few can see through his consultant verbiage

I loved when Coates said “they call it racial agitation, I just call it racism” YES

I’ve been a longtime admirer and avid listener of Klein and was devastated by his Kirk piece. Listening to his conversation with Coates really clarified to me how little he can be trusted right now.

mzlolo5 :
I think the difference is Klein thinks that the fight for justice had largely been finished and so he’s devastated at the slip backwards. But Coates sees the fight as never ending always in flux. The goal should always be to fight and not to win.

Ezra, it's really easy to determine your role in 2025: stand up for the vulnerable. Period.

I cringed when Klein minimized murder with his Buddhist saying. That response was hard to listen to.

Ezra Klein's shallowness runs deep.

Eliza by the way 📚 :
Michael Hobbes said that Klein treats politics like football. For rich white men all injustice is hypothetical and can be observed for entertainment

It ain’t that deep. Klein is ok with MAGA as long as it doesn’t negatively affect him. ✔
