It is only untrue if you are being obtusely over-literal well beyond what every other person in the conversation has clearly understood him to have meant.

And my position is that many people are great, but I've spent too many nights thinking about how I literally only avoided a hate crime in 2007 by random chance of which way I walked home from work that night, to believe you can just trust everybody to be good.

You might say that's maladaptive, but the fact that hate crimes continue unabated clearly indicates that it is a reasonable, not maladaptive, cause for concern Hell my own roommate was disowned and homeless for being gay. Marginalized people have legitimate cause for suspicion

I wouldn't, and haven't said, it's maladaptive. In fact, I've repeatedly said I think people should have appropriate boundaries for their circumstances.

Yet literally the only reason any of this conversation is happening is because you deigned to declare a person's boundaries maladaptive for reasons you still will not specify.

I've specified them repeatedly. Meanwhile, you've indicated your own defenses are basically sky high, which would explain the way this conversation has gone. No doubt you have real reasons for that, but has it prevented us from having the conversation we might have? I'd say so.

Really? Because I think the source of the problem is that you are categorically unwilling to specify your reasoning for your initial e-diagnosis, for reasons I can only speculate about, followed by pedantry, equivocation, arguments from personal incredulity, and general bad faith

Bizarre. Scroll up. I've told you why I think his defense mechanisms are maladaptive. I've said it's an example of splitting. Goodies and baddies. Not how the world works or how people are.

Maybe not in your experience but I have *definitely* experienced a society where there was a pretty clear distinction between people who wanted me to have equal legal rights and people who lobbied to prevent me from having equal legal rights.

Also it's not like Jesse doesn't constantly demonize the "cancel culture mob", in a really transparent use of rhetorical judo ("The only howling mob out there is the mob of people who think they're under siege from a mob")

"The people who are REALLY persecuted at every turn are innocent white men being persecuted by minority activists with a persecution complex" Stupid-ass argument Logically self-refuting, but appealing to people with a certain perverse cast of mind
