Are you suggesting that it is inherently bad faith to argue against a position that one doesn't like?
- philwelch 3y agoNo, he’s saying it’s inherently bad faith to be conservative.
- littlestymaar 3y agoNo, I actually read more conservatives than I do read from people who share my opinions because bad faith annoys me even more when it's done from my side. And there are bunch of conservatives that are even pleasant to read even though I don't have much in common with them. You can have different opinions and still argue in good faith.
- philwelch 3y agoDavid French doesn’t count.
- catlover76 3y agoWhy not?
- philwelch 3y agoDavid French is a compulsive contrarian and has ended up in a position where virtually all of his writing consists of attacks against conservatives written for liberal audiences. He’s not nearly as bad as Bill Kristol or Max Boot in this regard but he’s not taken seriously by other conservatives anymore.
- littlestymaar 3y agoNo, but if you disguise your criticism as sociological analysis while hiding under the rug the obvious parts of the analysis that wouldn't fit your narrative, then it's fair to say that's bad faith.
