that's not nice
"Bombing" fracture points within the left is worthwhile simply from the standpoint of intellectual clarity, regardless of how the right reacts. And you seem to overestimate the extent to which that provided any "parachute."

Look, man, this place can be a serious Skinner box. It’s nice to be liked. It’s nice to get notifications. It’s nice to get RTed by notable figures. It’s nice to have 100,000 followers. The fact that that stays true almost no matter what is super dangerous.

In a tough time, yeah, that’s a real parachute. But you wouldn’t have been rewarded in that way for thoughtful critique of the left’s fissures, failures, challenges. To get that you had to drop bombs. You had to obscure nuance, not illuminate it. Seems at a glance you still do.
