Apparently it was the most effective ad in this election. Yeah. So I think you're right. And Oddly enough, it was about pronouns, you know, or it was about, you know, or at least sort of about pronouns. So, yeah, it was very effective. It was pithy and it captured that. I think you're right. I would push back, you know, the Me Too movement. It wasn't just a woman's empowerment movement.

It was a movement of saying, you were sexually abused by your boss, me too. I was sexually abused by my boss. I kept quiet for a variety of reasons, but now there's strength in numbers because we know it happened to so many people. And so we can all speak out and there's the possibility for change.

So I think that movement, it wasn't something that, you know, metastasized from a us movement into a, you know, your bad movement. It was, it kind of started from, you know, the other group, other groups misbehavior. But Black Lives Matter, I think you're you're right that it. But again, it was it was implicitly about police brutality and violence.

And then people can argue about the statistics exactly. It is certainly the case that African Americans had a higher statistical likelihood of having interactions with police and then of having interactions that were harmful in one way or the other. But so, yeah. So I agree with you that these movements are... These movements are adversarial or oppositional at some level.

It becomes a trigger that people learn to use as a group marker if they live in a society like the United States where race, where physiognomy is correlated with cultural groups. But in places like Israel, you know, you can't always tell from somebody's face whether they're Palestinian or Israeli. In Ukraine, you can't tell whether someone's Russian or Ukrainian from their face.
