I spend most of my spare time doing community organizing when I’m not getting exposed to radioactive liberalism at work.
The cave analogy really feels like projection when you’re the one dropping cryptic references to conversations happening in other corners of the cave like I give a shit about what’s on the wall over there.
I generally think people can be worked with and aren’t intrinsically evil. It’s specifically that get all essentialist about peoples biology vis a vis their usefulness to society and that’s why they get the pit.
Understanding where people are and not wanting to insult them is very different from giving them free reign to hurt other people.
I’ve been watching this from the start and it reminds me a lot of how people reacted super-negatively to the pronoun tags too. In the end it was more telling on them than anything else.
I’ve had plenty of bad experiences with people with poor emotional regulation, from a number of sources. I’m fine with people treating it as something for serious discussion and not levelling it flippantly as an insult. That’s more what I have an issue with, I don’t see how drawing a line at name calling over something people might legitimately be working on (especially as it relates to their own life) is difficult or enabling.

No actually the analogy is about science, you’re not allowed to use it that way
