We didn't suggest otherwise. Those values have increased social justice at an incredible rate in the last 50 years. Let's not ditch them.

Think you did: "relatively minor partisan differences across 'liberal/conservative' split." Loud, uncomfortable protests lead to progress.

Not sure how that sentence fragment relates to what u are reading as our claim we can either have Enlightenment values or social progress

I don't rule out loud, uncomfortable protests. They are one way of drawing attention to a problem but we also need to change people's ideas.

'Subjective truth' doesn't mean anything. More important is giving people the right to apply their own values to their own lives.

You are arguing for simple pluralism, many perspectives. Social justice has never progressed on a platform of "all perspectives are equal."
