      No. I think Soros Accountant may be falling prey to existential polarisation which is causing him to miss what you are actually saying because you are not focusing on the right enemy in the short-term (tho you are in the long-term).

      We shall see, I suppose. I don't think lefties constantly bashing on other lefties is the right way to go about this. It is one thing to be critical of the left, but to ever only be critical of the left is, I think, going to cause fractures among the left.

      Constantly hitting people over the head with all the bad shit they do does not seem to me like a very effective persuasive strategy.

      Was it though? Pretty sure that article was him explaining why he focuses on criticism of the left. 🤔

      Can I suggest you read it again. You'll find it says that hardliner right and the far-left are unlikely to be swayed by persuasion.

      And what of the not so hardliners who are just sick of lefties constantly throwing other lefties under the bus? My aversion to this 'new center' crap is that all it seems like, to a significance degree, is a 'fuck the left' movement. With nothing but 'lefties bad' messages.

      Like I said earlier, a couple years ago, I was on board with the 'anti-SJW' movement. I used to be a fan of the likes of Dave Rubin, and that general sort, but he is IMO not only anti-SJW, but anti-left, as well as others like him.

      Well, I'm glad you got over it. But I still suggest you take up your anti-SJW grievance with anti-SJWs, not anyone who thinks fixing the left is the way to win the culture war. Enough now. You have to address what people are actually saying, not put them (wrongly) in tribes.

      I will get to reading the second article eventually. Says it is an hour read, and I don't have the patience atm. However, you said "the left must fix the left" and also "fixing the left is not the way to win the culture war." Is your intention to fix the left, and to what end?

      Jesus. I said the opposite of that. That fixing the left IS the way to win the culture war. I'm muting you now. I don't believe your reading comprehension is really that bad. You are determined to misunderstand.

          Forgive me, I did in fact misread. My bad. I apologize.
