I have friends who are monarchists (in fact, Jacobites -- supporting the Stuarts over the fake-ass House of Windsor), and other friends who are anarcho-capitalists, Trotskyites, etc. So I say with some confidence that what Hamid is advocating is narrow & silly.https://twitter.com/shadihamid/status/1277966905391759367 …

Leaving Hamid out of this (because his politics are different) but a lot of chatter about intellectual diversity is about creating an elite united front of liberals & conservatives to fend off supposed extremists. This is the Hofstadter project from late 1940s & it's still bad

Currently what is considered center left through center right is all very far right of actual centrist. Overton Window needs to shift a long way before I'd even consider civil conversation with someone who identifies as "right-leaning."

I have swung from hard right to hard left in my lifetime. So I have built-in intellectual diversity. This is how I justify holding heated political conversations with my younger self in public.
