i am struck by the incredible vanity and arrogance contained in @chatterton.bsky.social’s view that he is a paragon of rationality fighting against knuckle-dragging hordes. i am even more struck by it when i consider the extent to which he has never actually engaged with critique of his ideas

That aside, conservatives aren't usually very good at thinking like people; they tend to be too psychopathic to understand the sane human mind.
He even says it himself in "trying to remain in the liberal center" as the goal instead of "trying to uncover truth" (or something along those lines).
Much of their work seems to suggest that to have a distinct ideology is incompatible with being moderate
You and TCW surely agree on far more than you disagree—yet for personal reasons and misunderstanding, you’re at each other’s throats.
The right exploits that.
For better or worse, the left of center is riddled with people who like to argue over who’s right, especially online. Some people interpret that as a “slight.”
More than a few of the Rufo-pilled started out by someone being mean to them on the social mediases.
How can he bemoan discourse when it's a one way street? We're just supposed to consume this clowns opinions without asking questions or questioning his logic?
