    Helen Pluckrose Retweeted David Whyte

    This is very complicated. Yes and no. US leftist insanity is more overt, more noisy, more visibly extreme. In the UK, the same ideas are prevalent but insidious and covered with a veneer of reasonableness. This is consistent with cultural differences more generally.https://twitter.com/Soulstorm99/status/981619936803115008 …

    I really think UK lefties have largely avoided the relative insanity of their US counterparts. May this continue...

        It feels very oppressive here though because of British embarrassment and wanting to keep up appearances. Nice middle class people just refuse to even acknowledge the possibility of the left being wrong.

        A long history of pluralism, an emphasis on individual rights, periodic cultural revolution and religious/belief freedoms may prime our general craziness.

        And our racial strife is long and still festering. No sugar coating it

        Well, the US is more noisy and such, so it follows.

        Definitely agree there. U.K. caricature = we tut at things and stay quiet. US caricature = loud, brash, make themselves known.

        We’re noisemakers. The British like to cover up their correctness with turned-up noses and how undignified we are because we’re not connected to them anymore.

        Also true for Germany. The parties seem more reasonable and less noisy than their US counterparts, but if you look at the foundations, it's (almost) the same.
