History and Class Consciousness, by the Hungarian communist philosopher, Georg Lukács, was published in 1923. The book drew a hostile reaction from the ideologists of the 1920s Comintern. That it did is ironic, given today Lukács is blamed by the Far Right for originating ‘cultural Marxism’, ‘critical race theory’ and other alleged wokenesses...but I am unaware of any conspiracy theorist who appears to have understood a word of it. #Marx #journalismpurge

@RobHadley @w7voa Agreed. I will be really disappointed if the journalists now unbanned after the #JournalismPurge now go back on the #BirdSite like everything is fine.

I wonder what we can trust now as it comes to news reports about Elon Musk. Are journalists going to bend over backwards to keep their accounts safe and in good standing and not offend him? #JournalismPurge

People explaining The #StreisandEffect to the guy that coined the term is the funniest thing to happen all week.

@mmasnick, I tip my hat to you, sir, for the easy stride you took in dealing with this.
