Extremes are are one thing but (so far in the video) I'm not hearing any examples of reasonable foils on the other side who aren't "filling a church" when it comes to contemporary scholarship. This strikes me as a problem given the audience of young conservatives...
Again, your being on a Turning Point watchlist might tell us something about them or something about you or both but it doesn't tell us whether intersectionality is taking on a quasi-religious status in parts of society & especially in academia.

What it tells us is that it's possible to cherry pick examples of intolerance, and dissinformation, in both directions.

This is all very well and good, but it isn't true that what you call postmosernism has "invaded" universities, a claim at tension with your claim that the "postmodern" left is a fringr minority. Furthermore you seem to imply that theorists tou disagree with shouldn't be taught.

It is this hostility to intellectual opponents that I disagree with and find to be no less a forn of "moral panic" than the "identity politics" scourge you claim has invaded universities. I'll let this be my last word on where we disagree. I'm sure we agree on much else.

Perhaps we can also agree Twitter would be improved with some form of mechanism to edit typos.

Indeed! I am completely on board with civil disagreement but I also think we need to argue for and against ideas vigorously.

It just seems like a "You shouldn't talk to these people because they don't like me" argument which I don't accept. I will talk to everybody and I will evaluate your criticisms of them and theirs of you on their merits.
