It's cool that you checked out Bret Weinstein a little bit. He represents the part of the left, and he calls himself a progressive and a radical, that is just as worried about wokeness and cancel culture as conservatives and classical liberals are.

"I instinctively feel" is a shitty explanation. Yeah, I know it doesn't sound very persuasive. But I'm an honest person and you could full well have given me credit for displaying uncertainty about a particular angle. I'm full aware of confirmation bias, echo chambers and all that. Full disclosure. Being aware of biases, or at least showing the attitude that you try to be, I think helps for an honest conversation.

No, it's not the heart of it. I analyze these topics all the time. It's just a matter of time until I can provide a more complete explanation to why cancel culture in our society right now is fundamentally different between the left and the right. But to me it feels like you aren't honest about this, you seem more interested in "your side" winning. Not that that is the end of the world, most of us naturally want our side to win.

Said that was all I have to say on the matter, and it is, but I do have to defend myself.

You can feel however you want, but your feelings are not evidence. If you're accusing me of dishonesty "I feel" isn't good enough. I absolutely want my viewpoints to win out, and would love to use my voice to make that happen. That is not dishonesty. Dishonesty means I've said something I know to be false and I absolutely have not. Show me where I have, or retract that.
