Have I suggested it is? I thought I'd been clear it was authoritarian & restrictive and anti-liberal.
No, it doesn't. It doesn't even mention the Enlightenment. It says I'm going to explain how pomo damaged west & then I do.

No, it doesn't. Looking at the west in no way implies the ideas only exist here.https://twitter.com/HPluckrose/status/846484050760093696 …

Ok Helen I'll stop. I never wanted you to change your piece, it's a great piece. I just meant to engage in a productive debate
-
I get that your intentions are good but I'm frustrated that I can't seem to get you to see I'm not claiming what ur criticising
-
Its a huge leap to assume that coz I write abt somethings influence on West, it means I think its restricted to West.
-
And that its universal in the west. Espec if you've read anything else I've written abt western fundies & eastern rationalists.
-
I've read your work. I am not accusing you of ignoring these things. Just suggested making that point clearer in that piece.
-
There are so many things ppl think I should have been clearer about. Its already right on the 4000 word limit.

Yes! I haven't said it isn't!Please write your own piece the way you would do it & stop reading stuff into mine that isn't there
