The content of the post raises questions about contemporary modes of power influencing the harmful polarization of many issues.
Unfortunately, the domination of this thread by Cwonism is not value added.
Cwonism and quasi-Cwonism frames the issues as if there is one world to defend, with ‘enemies’ who believe there is a world to win. That view is a fiction. So is the related facile conception of ‘left’ and ‘right’.
In reality, social and historical change is often relatively unpredictable and there are many potential challenges to the organization of power and knowledge, as well as many oppressive contexts for continued polarization.
While nothing speaks for everyone, it is also the case that individual consent is not needed for social or historical change. Please someone tell Cwon14, but let him down easy.
