I have a similar level of distrust of Lindsay as I do many other academics who simply want to turn back the clock to the late 90s/early 00s while failing to acknowledge their failure to see where this was going at the time and/or prevent it from happening, but to his credit Lindsay was at least intellectually consistent enough to vote for Trump because he thought Trump's stance against Wokeness was more important than "twitter decorum".
Agreed. I would simply ask all these people why we should listen to their advice when they showed themselves to be completely blind to what was coming before and why we shouldn't expect them to exhibit a similar blind spot again if we did in fact turn back the clock.
This is my issue with at least half the people here. I might be mean about it, but people really need to reconsider their politics sometimes. It absolutely bores me whenever I have to hear someone say "I never changed my views, the left are the ones that moved away." Something in the idea of that statement. What happened to growth? Learning? How can someone just remain static if they've been around this "community", not sure what to call it, for however long. Or even how they found it in the first place.
There are so many things I want to rant about in regards to the "views(?)" of this group.
He makes a spot on analysis of the future Biden presidency nevertheless.
