"they should encourage diversity of thoughts, political ideologies, religions and diversity of perspectives and within that diversity"

This sounds good on its face but there's a problem that keeps coming up in its application: these thoughts, ideologies, and perspectives include many that are absurd, harmful, preposterous, and willfully false yet an over-amplified respect for diversity compels us to accept them along with the others. So we get the modern dilemma of he-said-she-said and, lackin…

Conservatism isn't false or insane, on its own. What has become of it today is it's in direct contradiction to their own origins as wokeism and postmodern liberalism are to their Enlightenment origins. Let's not confuse Trumpism and QAnon with Barry Goldwater's Conscience of a Conservative, a good read that you won't necessarily agree with but you'll find that he had some sane, stable ideas that weren't popular in his time, but that may experience a comeback as we come to realize conservatives …

I agree with more of what you're saying than you might think, and I do have a lot of respect for Goldwater as a man of actual principle.

And on the other side I have seen the viciousness of the transnazis closer up than I ever wanted to; one of those nonbinary shitheads got me kicked off Medium because I refused to refer to it as "they," as if I would ever have any reason to refer to it at all, and what it wrote to me was some of the most vicious shit I have seen in all my decades online ... and…

Yeah, I think I remember us talking about this before. The trans nazis got me kicked off too although I was making a lot less than $1k a month. Who needs incels and MAGAs when we've got some of the most misogynist, hateful bigots in dresses?

Actually Trump lost a chunk of votes after his first term. Might have won had he not turned off so many and also, he insisted on encouraging his idiot followers to kill themselves by refusing vaccinations. I know some decent conservatives and some decent lib…

Sometimes I made that kind of money just from my writing but then Medium started awarding me $500 a month for being one of their best writers, an award I didn't think I deserved at all (but didn't turn down). Then all of a sudden they told me I was banned and the only possible explanation was this "nonbinary" person who had a snarling-with-rage cartoon avatar.

They didn't tell me what I got banned for either but I'd predicted for 10 days they'd take me down for criticizing the trans community in defence of Dave Chappelle. It amazes me how much they go after *paying* customers. The problem is all across the board, Facebook & Twitter are as utterly gaslit by the LGBTQ community as any other platform and I'm not sure what it will take to restore sanity, although I found an MSNBC article the other day that criticized Lia Thomas for swimming on a women's …

“ I found an MSNBC article the other day that criticized Lia Thomas for swimming on a women's team and boldly referred to him as 'he' and 'him' all throughout.”

Wait, really??!! Do you think you could track it down and send me a link? I’m writing an article related to this and an article like that would make my point beautifully.
