I think this is a common misreading of at least the core IDW, who very sincerely believe that we are not capable of doing a true, effective, good-faith search of solution space for problems like climate change & inequality under the conditions created & maintained by SJW culture https://twitter.com/ne0liberal/status/1149379249675087875 …

What is it about "SJW" culture that is preventing a useful discussion of climate change?
-
It's a very, very hard problem. One of my personal issues is that it's now very popular on the left to promise you'll solve climate change AND inequity in one perfect plan, which means if *your* plan doesn't do that it can't gain momentum even if it has a better shot at working.

I don’t want to speak for
@neoliberal, but I read their take as ‘we do not share this fundamental assumption about what discourse is required to solve our world’s large-scale problems’ -
I'm just not sure the assumption's implied. And if it is, "WHY???" is a little disingenuous

Agreed. It’s not so much prioritizing this problem over the others. It’s that “pc culture” is the meta-problem holding back all the others

when we cannot talk about things, we cannot solve them

If there's some important conversation about climate that we aren't having, why don't they pick that as the thing to be edgy about? Why focus entirely on fights that barely matter? If they think they're going to be pilloried for wrong think, why pick things with such low stakes?
-
I can imagine a perspective that thinks this is a totalizing issue holding back all progress, but certainly if it is, you should be able to test it anywhere! You should bump into it on any issue you interrogate, not just on culture war du jour.
