I watched Wendell & Wild today. Siobhan is kind of a model of how to approach leftism as a privileged person.
She says something outside of her lane that’s well-meaning but naive, and gets harshly rebuked by someone with lived experience.
She doesn’t whine or get defensive or demand they explain themselves, instead she goes away and does her own research. And once she’s learned, she apologises, and then enthusiastically joins the fight.
We should all strive for this energy.
