oh i honestly wasn't paying attention and forgot he had been convicted already. I should not have said "alleged". But yes, I share your confusion. I don't understand how Weinstein is an example of someone who "learned that one days' popular moral action is the next's reprehensible mistake" and thus should "avoid politics". What was his "popular moral action" that became considered as a "reprehensible mistake"? I'm confused too, thus my question. Including Weinstein as an example here is extremely strange and rather disturbing.
