Once again, Will Bunch is telling truth about rampaging extremism that is targeting democracy and journalism.

And he's calling out his peers to wake the hell up and give a damn beyond occasionally noticing.

The world could be heading into a dark age of global dictatorship, and if that happens, American journalists will have been complicit, if not cooperative.

@dangillmor I used to think that (1) aid agencies were mostly doing good; (2) academic reseach was an agnostic process that was improving our lives overall; (3) the most insidious -isms (namely, racism) were being drummed out of social life.

I don't entirely disbelieve those thoughts now (except the racism). Just that I understand they are laden with asterisks and exceptions. So i need to have more nuanced, informed approach.

Thank you to the journalists and mastodonians who provide context ❤️
