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.

Unsure afte previous confusion if this is aimed at me. If it is, I’d say I’m a centre left person. Certainly not far left.

These are the people we wanted to reach. We called them the wavering lefties to describe people who do not agree with the postmodern epistemology and identitarianism but are sympathetic to their motives (as are we) and reluctant to consider them much of a problem.

Yes I understood that but I’m not naive about these issues. You are from the UK? I went to SOAS for undergrad/first masters, I know very well influence of critical thinking/postmodernism in humanities. It’s part of why I switched to do cognitive anthropology at Oxford.

My disagreement doesn’t stem from naivety or not having considered such issues. Or not understanding what you were trying to achieve.

I'm sorry if you thought I implied it did. Its always annoying when people do that. Its more that this group need convincing to see it as something they should take as a serious threat to the left's credibility when it needs it most.

"Aims are good" is what I see. Period. Nor do I really feel your politics, or Dr. Conceptual's politics, or Boghossian's politics are particularly relevant to an examination of academic rigor. I think it sad you even have to say you are left leaning.

I think we need to because we are addressing politics and it matters from what perspective. We criticise the left differently from how the right will. We won't confuse postmodernism with Marxism, for example.

Honest question Chris. What are your biases, and how do they affect your reading of Helen's work?
