I saw an interview with Mallory last night ans she said something else that struck me. It was to the effect that these types of issues (i.e. basic human rights and equality) aren't in the realm of dualistic politics, i.e. it's not about republican or democrat, it's just about what is right; basic morality
Also, if "cancel culture" and abusers (and those who enable abuse) being forced into accountability for their actions upsets you more than the abuse itself and the effects on the victims, it might be time to do some soul searching..
Yeah this is something that suprisingly a lot of people aren't aware of. When I did philosophy it was one of the major things you learn on a base level - that you can have different views and there isn't a blanket term for every single one of those views. In the theme of politics referencing what you said, you can have a democratic view on one area but also be republican.
Exactly! This is why I don't subscribe to the idea of a "political spectrum" (amongst other concepts that seem very prevalent within society). It seems that people often try to encapsulate a broad range of views within a single label and then proceed to argue over the associations when what actually matters are their effects (i.e.: whether those beliefs lead to behaviors that impact people constructively or not).

Thanks for the response, the design of your site is great btw :)
