This sort of asinine, duplicitous, hyperbolic nonsense is (partly) why the American left is utterly lost: https://medium.com/danthropology/when-did-online-atheism-get-into-bed-with-the-neo-nazi-movement-d6e3cb49e3f1 …

A lot of problems with that piece. Totally over the top. Which is unfortunate as there is a lot of valid criticism scattered throughout too.

Hmmmm. You're being too kind to it (and yes, I realize Michael Sherlock, if that's his name, is an arse!)

And Shermer, Rubin and so many others. All given Neo-Nazism a soft pass.

If I think that identity politics tends to polarize & drive people into entrenched positions, does that make me a racist?

Don't think anyone called Shermer a racist. Just that he was wrong and blaming the victim.

It's got nothing to do with blaming the victim. But it is the view that victims don't utter inviolable truths about complex social...

IF that is his point, he communicated it very poorly.
