Because there is so much confusion between ideas & ppl and absolutely no nuance. If you criticise an idea, must hate the group related to it

So many non-intersectional liberal feminists tried to address the problems only to be told that there weren't any & we were anti-feminists.

Many gave up and moved away from a movement that had almost entirely stopped addressing gender equality in a liberal sense.

Of course, we see the same thing with liberal leftism. If you try to be liberal abt it, you're very likely to be accused of far-right views.

The idea that internal critique is helpful & motivated by a desire to strengthen the cause seems to be dying.

Once that happens, a movement or cause or position can either lose all credibility or become totalitarian if it appeals to enough people.

Religions & other ideologies like communism, on the other hand, have had enough support to impose their totalitarianism by force.

Encouraging critique & respecting diversity of ideas is the only way to stay relevant, balanced, tolerant & representative.

If your ideas can't be criticised and you can't defend them, you should probably change them, not dig in deeper
