Here's the money quote:

While Harris was initially convicted and sentenced to 15 years in prison, in 2012 he was resentenced to life in prison under the state’s draconian Habitual Offender Law, which grants judges the freedom to impose far harsher sentences on defendants with prior criminal charges.

Yeah, but that's a different topic.

I'm from a formerly communist, eastern bloc country. I was a little kid when the revolution happened, but my mom lived in the regime for most of her life, and when I was little she always kept telling me to keep my mouth shut and to not bring attention to myself - I can be pretty opinionated at times, and I wasn't afraid to say what I thought. I always thought that was just an artifact of her upbringing, and it's not necessary nowadays - it's a free country, you can say your opinion freely, right?

Then I started working for an American corporation and now I understand exactly what she meant.

That's amazing. Does anyone have an archive link for the tweet instead of a screenshot?

It's the professor this article talks about: https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2020/06/25/white-lives-matter-man-fired-white-lives-dont-matter-prof-promoted/

Dunning-Krueger is something completely different.
