Notice women, gays, muslims, and jews are conspicuously left off the list.
Yeah I noticed that too.
Remember that Boghossian and Shellenberger are classical liberals.
They still support the first two waves of feminism and support same sex marriage.
These people will never acknowledge certain inconvenient truths about certain religious groups.
This chart is clearly not perfect since it purposely omits these four groups who are also part of the intersectionality of wokeism.
so they're egalitarians. equality is an obvious lie. structuring society around such a basic lie is criminal incompetence and willful ignorance. living in fantasy land.
Yeah I used to also be in that camp until World War T made me think things through to their logical conclusions.
Many such cases. And even if you don't think things through, eventually you live long enough to realize that he professional activist class is never going to pack their things and go home. There's always a new fight over the horizon, and they will never stop.
Thinking things to their conclusions is a slippery slope fallacy though. You're fallacying fallaciously and should stop because I said so.
I don't think that they are actually classical liberals. Classical liberals are lib-right like Sargon. I think these guys are just old school lib-left liberals like Bill Maher who recognize the problems with authoritarian leftism.
