The Reckoning: In France under Louis XVI an accountant named Necker wanted the French crown to be as transparent as the British crown. With the publication of the Compte Rendu they revealed the French crown was operating at a surplus, they also revealed the priorities of the crown. The distortion between military spending and spending for the poor was so large, the author argues, that it became a driving force behind the French revolution.

I have been thinking about the idea of "silencing hate" or "not lending legitimacy" to undesirable views. Not listening to hate speech or removing it from our echo chambers certainly "silences hate" but it does absolutely nothing to reconcile hate, which I am ever more convinced can only be done through engagement.
"No lending legitimacy" is a different issue to me, because what is legitimate anymore? People think Breitbart is legitimate. Fox News is America's most trusted news source. It feels like fighting the wrong fight.
"We don't want to lend legitimacy to their views!"
"Yea but no one in media has legitimacy anymore, so how can they be in the business of lending it out?"
