I think it’s a spectrum and you are correct that on the far end of that spectrum is definitely some very bad stuff. Which is not where I think your comment is at all :). But because it’s a spectrum I think and hope my sharing how some of the language in your comment struck me is helpful. Lol the irony is I think that “the logic of ideas, abstracted away from the people that write them”, is in a literal sense, de-humanizing ;). Worth thinking about imho since the ideas we are talking about are about language and people and societies :).
