      Really? - Can you give me one or two examples? I find both extremes very easy to dismantle with science... - both try to ignore science. I do admit that right wing just dismisses science and left wing try to circumvent it with word games, but in the end, denial is denial...

      Huh? We seem to be at cross-purposes here. Yes, they both deny science. My examples will be of theories which do that which I can get my teeth into. I think you think I am arguing something I am not.

      I am currently studying a great body of scholarship around feminist epistemology which includes distinct concepts of epistemic injustice, epistemic oppression, epistemic exploitation, epistemic violence, privilege-preserving epistemic pushback, reason/emotion divide, situatedness

      It's all a big fascinating complicated mess all building on itself which I can dig right into and take apart and uncover the sources of and refine down the core assumptions and show why they don't work. And I can show how this manifests in society and ideas of 'stay in your lane'

      I am not getting any of this from the far-right. There's no scholarship being produced now that I can find and in conversation, I usually just hear assertions about racial superiority and conspiracy theories and the death of western civilisation which I can't probe too far into.

      This is what I mean about there being little substance or depth. I am making this point in response to the suggestion that ppl who criticise the left more are motivated by tribalism. I am saying, for me, it's about what's more interesting.

      that's true... I think tribalism has very little to do with that. A lot of people wake up right now because they see the polarization in the country and want to do something about that. I hope it helps and we get a deeper understanding, or we will see a lot of conflicts again.

      Yes, this is a different reason. I studied this for 7 years officially and ever since unofficially. I love getting into irrationalist ideology and figuring out how it works internally (it doesn't work, in reality) and this is my motivation for addressing it more than, say Trump.

      And more power to people like you! I like to read your articles and I am pretty happy that there are people like you who can invest the time and have fun with that. I sadly have not the time (or money) to do more in that direction right now.

      I think there are very few people who both love getting into critical theory and do so to pinpoint & delineate the flawed thinking. Most people who think this kind of thinking is flawed don't want to invest great amounts of time & energy into studying it & making it accessible.

      But there are a lot of people who want it made accessible so they can get a handle on it so I have a job here. I have actually been approached by a publishing house and asked to write a book doing this. I have said yes and am looking forward to it.

          Before this, I did it with Christianity and none of my fellow lefties minded. Now it's leftist PoMo-based academia, they do, and they suddenly regard it as highly suspicious.

          Not to be polarizing but I do feel if you say something on the right that the right disagrees with you are far better off because people still talk to you normally - on the left its like you lost your club membership and get excluded... - this is, however, my subjective view!
