Hopefully part 2 will be along in the next few days; it was written first, but you know how that goes. Idk when I'll finish it

Key point here: seeing the world in Left/Right terms NEEDLESSLY only fuels the engine of leftist acceleration
-
But trying to avoid seeing Left/Right blinds you when the Left militarizes political conflict (which ofc it always does)
-
How to thread the needle? 1st step is to remember there wasn't always a left... if you go back far enough L/R should disappear
-
Brilliant, get the train of thought now. Thank you - looking forward to reading the post.

One way to look at this issue is to consider questions like this: https://twitter.com/kantbot2000/status/825808444859023360 …

Was "Enlightenment" a "leftist" movement? Did it cause "leftist" movements later on? If so, are Enlightenment ideas infected?

I really need to stop labeling "parts". Y'all are very canny critters. But I promise, this one only has one more part
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

In retrospect I got too absorbed into the inner logic of this piece
-
I wrote most of "part 2" first, but there were some parts of it I thought really were logically prior, so ctrl-x, ctrl-v
-
but laying out relationships between assimilation & knowing history of the left got me absorbed in their manichaean illusion
-
Part 2 starts like a new essay (cuz it originally was) mayb I change the name of part 1. Does WP let me do that?
-
(btw, i checked it out on mobile, and the formatting is awful. Idk what WP does, just give me plaintext, darn
-
yeah the original version (now "pt 2") was just so much better idk how I get carried away like this

Fortuitously while scrolling back in reader to find Cam's last piece I noticed this: https://teleolojic.wordpress.com/2017/01/15/chalk-and-cheese/ …
-
I hadn't remembered it at all (& still idk what Chalk & Cheese means!) but clearly affected my thinking on issue
-
Must add in a link. Wish I'd remembered it earlier to quote Orléaniste bit, too
