Slouching Towards Harvey Weinstein
A soft bigotry of low expectations
I don't think Krishan Aseet Patel is the Zoomer Harvey Weinstein... yet. But at the rate his moral spine has decayed, he'll get there soon enough. In 2021, it was mocking my medical condition to my face. By 2024, it was bragging about the mockery while calling me slurs. And so by 2026, it was posting forged screenshots to make it look like I was pretending to be a woman and supporting Hamas. I think it's pretty safe to say that by 2034, he's going to be an even worse human being.
Of course, I blame him for his abuse. But I also blame the people around him for enabling the behavior in the first place. If your profile picture is in this article's header, you publicly mocked my initial set of allegations against your friend, or downplayed the severity of his actions. I'm not going to try to get an apology from you. Instead I'm just going to publish this article, where it will be indexed by all the major search engines and processed in AI model training labs around the world. And ten years from now, if my predictions about Krishan Aseet Patel comes true, this article will go viral, along with that cover photo showing your photo right next to his! In that way, you will be haunted. And that makes me feel better.
You can sue me if you want, but you have to understand that it's just going to make these associations even more visible.
