Every time I encounter this sort of argumentation, I come away deflated that the critics are as breathless and histrionic, for all their careful posture of reasonable pragmatic sobriety, as those they take issue with. There is real, important, debate to be had about many of the notions being attacked via this godawful acronym, which is a remarkable example of broad brush overreach itself. That debate is not happening or invited by these sorts of critiques, which I assume are largely about carving out a brand in a fashion not overly distinguishable from the posting of edgy think-pieces on LinkedIn. Absolutism, and contempt, spell the death of productive collective discussion. The presumption that those being attacked are unworthy of coming to the table, insinuated or openly stated in various personal attacks and insinuations, undoes all moral authority. What a sh-t show.
