I recently watched someone speak skillfully to a topic at hand but smartly slide in a phrase of snark that actually referred to another matter entirely. It seemed as though it was about this context, but instead, it was intended to convey to someone present, “I see and acknowledge how you were treated in that previous matter, and that was not okay. You have my support.”
Not everyone could catch it, but I happened to know about both contexts.
That was masterful. That was the beautiful artistry of solidarity.
