Can be a matter of what you know & what interests you. Sustained criticism of a problem in depth requires finding it interesting as well as troubling. For me, religion & postmodernism's complicated weirdness is fascinating. The populist right's is mundane, shallow, dull, obvioushttps://twitter.com/christianjbdev/status/979748747663020032 …

How the populist right think is not very interesting at all and if Trump thinks, it's not evident. I can't get enthusiastic about going on & on about xenophobia, racism, sexism, homophobia are bad and why it's better not to let ppl die for lack of healthcare and welfare support.

Most people know this & yet many strengthen the element of the right that doesn't because they fear the left is worse. I think they're wrong but I also think this is better addressed by fixing the problems on the left and winning ppl back than going on * on abt populism being bad

I think the problem undermining the left right now and leaving the door open to the worst of the right is ultimately one of good aims pursued using a terrible epistemology & that nothing can much improve until that is recognised and remedied.
