I read it (!) but don’t trust it to be accurate or fair because it isn’t in the areas I’m familiar with. I agree with you that too many public figures are going down the culture war rabbit hole. I just think this article is down there too. It’s rehashing the same old clichés.

Well, then, I'll snitch tag
@xriskology, who wrote it. You can hash it out with him if his article offends you so much. - Show replies

I’m sure some ppl genuinely believe Dawkins, Pinker et al are almost indistinguishable from the far right, or are damned by association, but it’s not a serious position to take. It’s a rallying call. I hate that kind of thing (from either side). It’s toxic.

Do you deny that Harris, Lindsay, and Boghossian have become darlings of the far right? Or that Lindsay and Boghossian have been explicitly spreading right wing propaganda? As for whether you "like that sort of thing" or not, I really don't give a rodent's posterior.
