    I actually agree with some of the IDW's critiques of outrage culture, over-sensitivity, inhospitality to debate, tribalism, identity-obsession, and so on. Problem is, they're just as implicated by these critiques as anyone, but pretend to float above it all for marketing purposes

        When he first said that no Marxist economists would debate him and then pulling out of the debate when @profwolff was ready and willing. Now he won't even mention it. He portrays himself as an expert on Marxism, but when a real expert went after him, he left the scene

        "Critique of outrage culture?" Go dig into Bret and Heather's troubling story at Evergreen. There was a mutiny against reality there. At a university. The exposure of the poststructural assault against epistemology is much more than a "cultural critique," friend.

        Their experience at Evergreen doesn’t permanently protect them from any criticism about their own blind spots

        IDW is a clutch of savvy 21st century marketers giving baby boomer men one last chance to feel brave and transgressive.

        Would love to have you discuss this with one of them on a podcast, as I'm sure most of us following would learn something very valuable from it. I'm guessing most of them would have no problem having this discussion and not run away from criticism you have as it is valid imo

        The IDW might be "as implicated" in outrage culture & over-sensitivity, but hardly as implicated as SJWs in inhospitality to debate or tribalism. Esp not tribalism -- the IDW folk I know mainly identify as libertarians, old left, centrists, conservatives, or whatever, not IDW.

        Whats frustrating is they had a real opportunity to be more than what they are, but for various reasons have decided to just be this myopic, niche production line of by now well-worn critique. They've pigeonholed themselves

        I don't think it's marketing. I think it's a blind spot that's very difficult to see when the network you're integrated in works outward from the IDW. You really have to look deeply at both the deep corners of the far left and far right to see what they're missing. They don't,

        This is the problem with being outraged at outrage culture. You end up becoming what you detest. That's why it's better to be outraged at things that actually deserve outrage. Overreaction itself is unimportant.

        True. But I'll never stop being outraged at the media for the crap they've been doing. It never ends.
