After today Duplass will no longer take the risk of saying how he honestly feels about a political issue at this moment in time. And that’s how we forge a better society...?

I don't think that they can fix the cracks in the dam for much longer. Eventually these bully tactics will cease to scare those who feel suffocated by the intolerance.

I dunno. The game theory for the PC position is fairly bulletproof. I can’t see how a person like Duplass breaks out of it

You have to be either really extremely well grounded in your arguments, like Bret and similar figures, or you have to be a comfortable being reviled as a person devoid of empathy.

The backlash is because Ben is a dishonest actor who shouldn't be portrayed as one acting in good faith

You mean when Ben DESTROYS transgenderism he’s not acting in good faith?

Right. Also there's a deep 'principle of natural justice': *Audi alteram partem" — Give a hearing to the other side. If you can't state your opponents' argument in a form they would endorse, what exactly are you opposing?

Dennett is big on this. His formulation IIRC: until you can state your opponent's argument better than he can, don't try to refute.

Reading the responses here calling out Ben Shapiro for his Leftist Tears mugs and “propaganda” are hilarious. Do any of you have any ability to self reflect? Turn on any MSM trying to pass itself off as news, awards show, “comedy” shows, talk shows, etc. look in a mirror.

Have you watched Fox News lately, cuz I have. It’s all propaganda, for sure, but Fox sits at the top of the heap. Let’s all look in the mirror, shall we?

Fox is just as bad as the rest of the MSM

Agreed.

It’s sad that this is the state the news media outlets. (Aside-Adeline I adore your name, it was my grandmothers name and I think it’s beautiful)

Thanks! I was named after my grandmother.

I get subtle goosebumps when people are human on twitter
