This stood out as something recognizable (not limited to UK press either): "UK press thrives off such PoC, setting up what may be genuine points of debate as ‘buck fighting’ spectacles for white supremacy"

I don't know how much calculation is behind it, but surely there are platforms out there with a reader base that's more likely to be familiar with Coates' work. Guardian readers seem like an easy audience if you're looking to discredit a black intellectual (lurked the comment section there for a while, it's.. white).

Also I'm sad to see Coates leave Twitter, but it's not like he's going to quit writing and calling self-care "weak" is dumb.
