While that's an excellent rebuttal, I have to say I'm getting a little concerned about all this JBP dogpiling. It's really starting to look like the same 'purity testing' we mock in the PoMo circles.
Do some puritanical bad takes invalidate all the work he's done dismantling postmodernism/intersectionalism? For me, at least, his admirable wrk at least buys him a little leeway to have a bad take. People are allowed to agree with someone without subscribing dogmatically to thm
He's made it very much harder to criticise postmodernism & intersectionality by producing a strawman version of it which conveniently conflates it with Marxism and overlooks the epistemological problems which his own methods share.
True, but he's also been exposing their BS to large groups of folks who were otherwise unaware. So while he has been a hindrance on the academic front, I'd still say he's a net positive. I don't wrk in academia, I wrk in tech. And I see men and women I work with passing his vids
I've made an analogy before. Imagine you dedicated all your energy to telling people about the problem of climate change & the need to reduce carbon and someone else was telling people about the problem of climate change but saying that it could be fixed with prayer.
These people see the same problem and the same need to fix it urgently but they are not on the same side. In fact, if the person claiming prayer is the solution is wildly popular,it's essential for the other one to spend time refuting this in order to address the problem as it is
