mthead911 :

Best quote in the entire interview from Ta-nehisi: "Was silence not an option?"

BP :

Ezra Klein is the epitome of white privilege.

BWShea :

Adeninsola :

“Some of you may die but that’s a sacrifice I am willing to make” - briefer Ezra Klein

That1BlackGuy/On YT As Well :

all i have is this image and its all i need

Sammy kk :

Ezra Klein is how the DNC leadership thinks. Instead of POLICIES that help people, they are prepared to jettison some folks.

It’s Tay :

Ezra Klein feels like he is trying to make necropolitics palatable, finding “normality” through “necessary” sacrifices of targeted groups

Socialist Hastur :

100% he said "that's fatalist to me" so fast I immediately knew he wasn't listening, he was waiting to speak

StixCinna :

you notice how Ezra doesn't belong to any of the marginalized groups that he's willing to throw under the bus lol

QueenEtenesh :

Ezra is talking politics as this intellectual exercise and Ta-Nehisi is talking about politics & how it actually affects ppl in real life. Politics came off as a hobby for Ezra.

Abercrombie&Lich :

listening to him adopt that "calm, measured tone" before he chose not to meaningfully reply in any way to someone he called a friend was maddening

Earth Is Raggedy :

Ezra perfectly represented everything that is wrong with the Democrat Party and liberal ideology. A bunch of capitulation, posturing, and white supremacy veiled as pragmatism.

Ashley :

When he started quoting Buddhist poetry after Coates said something really smart and profound I physically recoiled

annahowardshaw320 :

Also: women’s bodily autonomy is always on the table for EK. Just a bargaining chip so men can maybe have slightly better housing zoning laws in blue states

Sia Mozaffari :

The most infuriating part for me was "MLK was killed preaching love" and Klein is like "Let me tell you about my mindfulness meditation practice tho" like helllloooo? are we on the same planet bro?!

crankybean369 :

it felt so weird to view Coates' view as fatalistic when, to me, I thought it was so hopeful. like.....how comforting to know that the struggle will continue beyond me. to know that just because I don't get to see it, doesn't mean that it won't happen

geekgod808 :

Ezra wasn’t listening AT ALL 😑

Babette.ate.oatmeal :

Klein said, “don’t be so stuck in the past” then BROUGHT UP THE CIVIL WAR?!

nothingtodo225 :

it's super obvious that Ezra Klein saw Charlie Kirk as a peer or even worse saw himself as the lefts version of Kirk. he talks about all this stuff like he's on the losing team after the Superbowl.

Cyndy 💋 :

I was done with Ezra when he said Charlie Kirk was "doing politics right" like WTF? Are you crazy?

Bidoof’smydad :

GOAL POST MOVED EVERY TIME

꩜✧Verdigris✧꩜ :

Politics has always been an intellectual exercise to be people like Ezra, and to him it’s unacceptable to be implicated in the consequences of policy beyond losing his fantasy football league

Sierra :

‘I think we need to sacrifice the rights of women, queer, & black americans to guarantee the success of the democratic party’… like uhm okayyy.

Jim Gallo :

I don’t think Ezra Klein has it in him to consider that maybe he’s wrong.

PriPri :

Ezra pretending to be a "thinker" with that mockery of a beard 😂
