Once in a while I try to write some nuanced opinions I have that don't slot well into the liberal "tribe" I usually slide into, but I think could result in some profound dialog if everying is engaged in good faith. I don't agree with a good deal of liberal policy, but they kind of have a monopoly on moral accountability and sanity at the moment, so that's where I'm rooted.
Problem is, I can't write about something that goes against the tribe's hive mind without getting viscous pushback. Usually the pushback is rooted in either a complete misunderstanding/ignorance of what I'm saying, or simply not caring what I have to say if it's not in line with the current narratives.
Anyway, I found this article interesting (I have no idea if the guy's NYT rant is valid). I don't write much anymore because I don't like the negative consequences that comes with it. Good, honest debate can be fun, but it's nearly impossible to have even with people that you share virtually everything in common with.
