      I don't think emerging orthodoxies shouldn't be challenged. What I object to is being called one of the "useful idiots of big business," having the history of the anti-state left being erased, and having serious, intelligent arguments ignored or treated as reflexive anti-Trumpismhttps://twitter.com/mtracey/status/1065389049853153280 …

      Nathan J Robinson added,

      Michael TraceyVerified account @mtracey
      Would also add: the indignant responses to this essay among the "online left" suggests people are offended by the very idea that any emerging orthodoxies should be challenged or interrogated. It's a recipe for stagnation and false consensus https://americanaffairsjournal.org/2018/11/the-left-case-against-open-borders/ …

      Would never accuse you individually of rejecting on principle challenges to emerging orthodoxies. But I have detected that tendency elsewhere, on a pretty large scale, and it’s the kind of obstinacy that can easily congeal into stagnation/false consensus

          Why would Angela refuse to engage seriously with the actual morally serious arguments of the "open borders left"? Why would you say that we're afraid of the arguments because we know we can't answer them? We do have answers, but Angela didn't quote them or interview anyone.

          Yes, many people on the left are unreasonable. But if a writer is going to make a case AGAINST open borders, they have to deal with the best arguments FOR open borders, NOT ignore the smart arguments and distort left history to suggest arguments for free movement are new.

          I feel like you’re so goddamn high on your own farts you don’t even grasp what the fuck you’re talking about anymore.
