My comments.
First : the author defines Fascism as the use of violence to effect your political goals.
I disagree totally:
I have tried to give a definition of fascism, i will not repeat it.
[ When Left becomes fascism - #21 by morgankane01]
If I follow the author, to give an extreme exemple, forbidding the Atlantic slave trade and the north waging war on the south and ending slavery was fascism.
"Emotion should not supplant reason. Reason is supposed to be a check on emotion and its particular error-modes. " I totally agree.
Yes, “wokeness” can be and has been carried to excess, and there does come a point where the legitimate desire to insist on inoffensive speech and behavior conflicts with the vital liberal values of free speech and free thought. The American academy has been badly damaged by rampant ideological intolerance and by the faculties’ assaults on liberalism itself as somehow being the cause of the nation’s ills rather than the answer. When students refuse to let a dissenting or even offensive speaker speak, they are denying free speech with bullying force. At that point, “wokeness” becomes antiliberal, too.
I totally agree
Epistemological errors: I totally agree.
Errors in communication. I totally agree.
