Well I was aiming not for 'guilt by association' but rather hopefully pointing to a disturbing approach to epistemology that isn't liberal, scientific, or progressive.

I know it happens tho. Its truly bizarre. We keep writing about our agenda. We even wrote a manifesto. Then people say they don't believe our claims not to have an agenda.https://twitter.com/HPluckrose/status/1049419988619153409?s=19 …

We believe all Helens! Seriously, it is confounding to me to understand what other benefit you might be after. That was some HARD work. I heard
@ConceptualJames say he worked 80-90 hours 7 days a week. And you were balancing family, book, editing, articles. I trust every word. -
Thanks! We are not claiming to be politically & ideologically neutral. On the contrary, we're arguing from the left in favour of Enlightenment science, reason & liberalism. We've written so many articles abt this. How to beat Trump. How to defend against postmoderns & premoderns

Helen can I ask a genuine question to help me gauge where you are coming from. Do you think Dave Rubin is a liberal just trying to reform the left? Do you see yourself in same vein or something different? Not intended as gotcha, just genuinely curious. Asking personally not as...

Ah! You've moved on from disagreeing with people who say we don't have an agenda to disagreeing with us about what we say ours is? Well, I can't do much about that. It never helps to argue with mindreaders. We are the only authority on our own motivations.

That is exactly what is happening. Your agenda is in doubt, but I don't have a clear answer as to what that other secret nefarious agenda is.

It depends where the other person is coming from. Usually, its that we're secretly reactionary rightists but after the socialists came out in support of us and we condemned Hungary's shutting down of gender studies, we've been accused of being Marxists & libtards again.

A sign of the times and/or a sign that you have attracted a disproportionate amount of ideological followers. Nuance should be seen as positive tho, I wish more people were willing to piss off their audience in favour of honesty.

Are you a liberal lefty? You sound like a liberal lefty. If so, this is all aimed primarily at you.
