I know I've mentioned this before and tried to work out the psychology and concluded that it's related to defeatism and/or a need to think a whole faction irredeemable which is threatened by someone making arguments about how they could reconceptualise things and fix the problem.

On the left, those I oppose have the same goals as me but a catastrophically awful approach to them which is also complicated & counterintuitive. Therefore, there is so much more to get your teeth into in trying to argue out the problems and reach consensus on liberal values

But this is a different justification entirely for prioritiizing fixing the left - a personal one. We certainly need people criticising the right but I do think it will be a lost cause unless we get our own house in order.

I think we totally agree. I'm in a lecture so I can't add much.
