Here's something I've wanted to say for a long time: the leftist taboo against engaging with the problematic world beyond the cloister is a form of collectively enforced wing-clipping.

It's a self-destructive meme that guarantees our ideas will never spread, will never succeed.

Last year, @PennyRed—one of the best feminist writers of our time—wrote an incredible, revealing piece about Milo Yiannopoulos. In order to do research for the piece she had to go on tour with Milo—a Nazi!!

She hung out with him on his tour bus, she sat next to him while they drove around in a limo, she went to his parties where she chit chatted with people like Geert Wilders and Roosh V.

This is called journalism. If you're going to cover a topic, you have to get well acquainted with that topic. This involves getting your hands dirty. And the result in Laurie Penny's case was the most sparkling, devastating piece on Milo ever produced.

But many people on feminist/leftist Twitter were ready disown her in an instant over this. They were ready to excommunicate one of their best writers simply because she ventured too far into enemy territory.
