Greta has been set up for failure by the illiberal left.
I welcome anyone with too much time on his or her hands to dig through my posts and verify that I'm telling the truth when I say that I've never criticized Greta Thunberg directly. Even though she's a

There's no mystery about any aspect of why hoards of people respond the way that they do to detransitioners.
I'm under no delusion that every person, particularly to the right of the political spectrum, has the best of intentions when it comes to detransition stories. I'm sure that a lot of people on the right

There's an ongoing discussion about whether or not the Left is eating itself.
It's a discussion that should come to a conclusion. Yes, the Left is obviously eating itself. Also, the Left is eating itself because it doesn't understand how or why it's doing it. I'm not going to make

The biggest blind spot that's emerged from the illiberal Left is related to policy regarding kids.
This used to be a bigger issue with libertarians; but, with libertarians, the biggest issues that came with children have always been in regard to incentive structures. Questions like, "If you replace

The illiberal Left is literally saying that sexuality is inherent in one breath and teachable in the next breath.
So far as I can tell the liberal position on sexual attraction hasn't changed in my lifetime. Basically, you don't have full control over who you want to have sex with and people shouldn't try to program
