I like Monica Showalter’s work. But this article is quite inconclusive, highly speculative — such as we see daily on the networks, e.g., “so-and-so said such-and-such: what do YOU make of it?”
I didn’t get what the headline’s “arrestable” meant; but maybe it meant “expendable”? What do YOU make of it?
I think “arrestable” means people who won’t balk at pulling stunts that will inevitably get them arrested. That’s kind of XR’s stock in trade.
