You're acknowledging that you understand that I'm trying to play the meta game, but giving me nothing to respond to that won't drag me back into the object-level game. That's why we're trapped in a loop where I can't do anything except tread water while pointing at the meta game

Maybe we are actually not that far apart. I think the IDW is right about the decline of traditional media and is often right to criticize some of its properties. Yet an intellectually honest person would then go on and police the "alternative media" just as much or more for sim.

To police the "alternative media" just as much is to acknowledge that /u/50Shades is functionally equivalent to the New York Times, which is something I don't think any of the IDW folks are comfortable doing

Yes, but there are plenty of examples of Ben Shapiro or Jordan Peterson or similar people being deceptive as fuck and they don't get the same full-frontal treatment that the mainstream media gets even though the people that get their news or politics from them are probably more

likely to believe them.

I really don't believe that Jordan Peterson ever intends to deceive, though he may be wrong and certainly hyperbolic. I don't think there's ever been any hesitation within the IDW to talk openly about disagreement. There's a lot of it.

I don't know whether JP intends to deceive or not, but I don't know that about the media either. The disagreement happens over safe issues", not over the ones that define the IDW. For example many of JP's claims about C-16 were wildly exaggerated, no criticism as of yet from IDW.
