This hasn't been my experience, at least in SF. The so-called political monoculture is heavily reason-driven, inclusive, and expressive.
This might mean that people whose views are exclusive are excluded from evangelizing those views. The reasons for those are better expressed by Karl Popper's essays on the tolerance of intolerance.
So you can't be against gay marriage or sex before marriage, and be for the suppression of expression. But that's a good thing for the reasons that Karl Popper brings up.
- beaconstudios 8y agothat's not the political monoculture I'm pointing out here. I'm strongly for maximising civil liberties, I support the idea that people should be able to do whatever they want as long as they aren't harming others. The monoculture I am pointing towards is the ideological striving for equality of outcome using affirmative action, condemning of people like James Damore who talk about differences between men and women and how that might affect the demographic underrepresentation of women in tech, that kind of thing. From what I understand there's little room for reasonable debate or discussion of these ideas.
