The left has already gone too far, in my view.
From a free speech perspective the right seems to be more pro-principle and less identity-based cancellation hysteria, but they do so on the back of white, Christian nationalism and rampant hypocrisy which is a slightly different problem than heresy as per the original article.
Calling me disingenuous a bit of a reach.
- pessimizer 4y ago> white, Christian nationalism How could this possibly not be seen as identity politics?
- ss108 4y ago...so you agree that the Republican Party has morphed into an outright White, Christian nationalist, identity-based party, but think that identity politics on the left is somehow worse? I would say "disingenuous" is on point here.
- faichai 4y agoI called the right a bunch of nationalist hypocrites!! I wasn’t trying to be kind to them, I agree they are doing identity politics too. I am claiming that is the left that more prone to be cancelling people for heresy as per the original article. The right is more pernicious but there issues are different from a free speech/heresy perspective. It’s OK for me to just use one side to make a point you know. I’m not the BBC.
