The Active Voice: Emily Oster is okay with taking heat from the mob
“Shockingly sharp rebuke?” Hardly. Outer played a role in pushing dangerous drugs on her fellow citizens and family. She played a role in people being fired and banned from society.
Now she plays “poor me, people are so mean.”
I actually believe in forgiveness, but she equates that with amnesty. No.
Those who abused their power to do this deserve criminal investigation and trials. And sentences, if found guilty of any of the multitude of crimes that were committed.
Her family, at a minimum, and possibly the public, in Oster’s case, deserve an apology. She has yet to have given one.
The poor me act will only incite more anger. But, her history on these issues has been along that vein, to divide, to say “come along,” and point and continue, “shame on all of you who won’t come along.”
These are the tactics of narcissists and abusers.
