      Let's see if I can add a spoonful of sugar to this thread. So look—I get why, when I say shit like this, people feel like I'm about to betray them all. It's happened before, and when I say stuff like this it triggers the recognition of a pattern.https://twitter.com/ContraPoints/status/925397325232648193 …

      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.

      We all know former allies whose decent into Alt Centrism, Nazi/TERF apologetics, etc., begins with complaints about leftist echo chambers and free speech.

      So when I say similar things, people are reminded of the other people who have said those things and then abandoned the left altogether. So it's understandable that people are wary of being betrayed.

      But it also sucks on my end, because it often feels like I can't speak my mind, can't debate, can't publicly engage with outsiders without my distrustful so-called comrades thinking I'm about to abandon everything I've ever stood for. And, to be honest, that hurts.

      So I know this reassurance means nothing, but for the sake of formality I suppose I'll say that no, I'm not on the verge of abandoning everything I stand for. And not even being disowned by the left would be enough to make me join the right.

          One common theme I noticed with the far left is that they tend to think if anyone hears dissenting opinions, they'll adopt those opinions-

          It's like a fear that everyone else does not have the ability to think critically for themselves. Obviously not all, but a strong theme.

          This is honestly the left's biggest problem: We fracture over the smallest disagreements --

          I think people are more afraid of you being friends w/ or becoming more of a centrist than you were when you started.

          Natalie has demonstrably become more left wing since her channel started. This fear comes from people who want her to play 4D chmess.
