A lot of it is motivated by fear and self loathing. The right is so good at manipulating those feelings and convincing them to project rather than reflect.
What the left needs is a Normie Whisperer... A Mr Rogers for grown ups.
I was hoping #AndrewCallaghan from #Channel5 might turn out to be that, but you know how that turned out...

Exactly. I keep thinking they'll finally realize they are strung out & stop the coke binge they're on, but no one is able to get through to them. That's why I was so heartbroken about #AndrewCallaghan getting canceled. I think he had the potential to do that. His documentary felt like a way forward.
There is no right or wrong way to handle speaking out about abuse, it really depends on what you're hoping to relieve in yourself. In the case of the women speaking out on TikTok about Andrew Callaghan, the sad thing is Callaghan can just come out now, and he has, with some bullshit like "Yes, I was stupid, I need to learn to be better, we all need to talk about consent" and it's done, I mean that's how it is for men facing accusations of even the most clear cut and violent assault. As a victim of child abuse, I can say with full confidence that this result would cause further harm to me. The context is obviously not the same for me, my lens has been moulded in a way that makes me see this differently. And it's not about learning how to be a victim correctly, but asking yourself what you need in order to heal. I feel for these women, they shouldn't have had to go through it in the first place, I wish there were easier and more effective ways for them to have dealt with it. You want to see your abuser hurting the way you did, but that horse has bolted. It will never happen because the problem is deep, and vast, and perpetuated by religion and capitalism and everything in between. Raise better sons. That's the only way you can mend it.

When Andrew Callaghan said he was raised to believe persistence was flattering, did he really think we were going to believe this sentiment was passed down from his granddaddy referring to BJs? Or was Pops maybe talking about dating, Andrew? #AndrewCallaghan #Channel5
Multiple women accuse #AndrewCallaghan of youtube's #Channel5News (and #AllGasNoBrakes of #sexualassault & misconduct

leftist men defending #AndrewCallaghan are hilarious bc I just saw a guy say "if it was actually sexual assault why didn't she call the police" and I went to his profile and saw police abolition retweets from within the last 24 hours lol
I am stunned and disgusted by the allegations against #AndrewCallaghan / #Channel5 / #AllGasNoBrakes. A guy who I looked up to as a beacon of alternative news is a sexual predator who has used his power to silence and destroy the lives of those who speak out against him. Please do not watch his content or donate to him. He needs to be robbed of his platform

Oh no. That's incredibly bad #AndrewCallaghan #Channel5 https://youtu.be/ekRdSP05ceE

QAnon Cultist’s Interview with Andrew Callaghan Ends in SHOCKING Humiliation
#humanistreport #channel5 #andrewcallaghan #politics
Andrew Callaghan's new documentary "This Place Rules" has given us this fantastic clip.
A perfect encapsulation of the right.

Very revealing #NPR interview with #AndrewCallaghan about his #J6 documentary #ThisPlaceRules. She throws some confrontational questions at him that I think he handled beautifully that basically amount to "Why would you talk to _these_ people?"
I love NPR. Their reporting is definitely better than cable news, but they can't admit that they're not paragons of virtue. They wouldn't listen to those people because deep down they think they are better.

I watched #ThisPlaceRules last night and I have thoughts to share about how it comments on #uspol US politics and #organizing. There's no graceful way to do threads on here yet so please mute me for the next hour if this does not interest you!
Since some of this will be critical, I will start out by saying I've been watching #AndrewCallaghan since his All Gas No Brakes days and I think he's a great reporter. Some of his best attributes shine in this documentary!

Finally saw #AndrewCallaghan's #J6 documentary #ThisPlaceRules on HBO Max and it was everything I hoped it would be. The empathy he shows for the people involved and the way he calls out media for their role was just perfect. He gives me hope, which has been in short supply lately. Exactly what #journalism needs right now. Please watch and discuss. Would love to get some takes. https://youtu.be/MH_rX9S6sU8

Great documentary, #AndrewCallaghan. Just let them talk, like #SachaBaronCohen did.
#ThisPlaceRules 7/10.
#thisplacerules #sachabaroncohen #andrewcallaghan
It pains me to say it, but the Hot Takes spewed in the highly anticipated #ThisPlaceRules by #AndrewCallaghan / #channel5 are so heavily undermined by "both sides" garbage that it does potentially irreparable damage to my respect and admiration to what Andrew does
