Ezra Klein and the liberal Zionist laundering of the ongoing genocide through "agency"

In his interview with Ta-Nehisi Coates, Ezra Klein repeatedly—over and over again—launders the ongoing genocide by blaming Palestinians for it. He does this through the term "agency," the favorite liberal and pseudo-intellectual buzzword used to justify all their genocidal mania.

This is the magic of "agency": it turns everything into whatever you want while pretending you are making an objective, fair, and reasonable analytical point. It allows you to posture as intellectually honest and serious. That is who Ezra Klein is. He is the paragon of moral virtue, the quintessential New York Times liberal. He determines what is just and unjust for the world today and throughout history. The Ezra Kleins embody virtue.

So, are Palestinians being subjected to genocide by Ezra Kleins? That, in their moral framework, is virtue. That is moral necessity. That is the height of morality itself.

Why? Because "agency," a pseudo-intellectual concept I have thoroughly dismantled before.
