@trregeagle Interesting. I think the “progressive activists” have ended up in that not so good situation as a result of the
“they seek to correct the historic marginalization of groups" thing. While that is an admirable goal, it has lead to the idea that when someone says something, the most important thing is not what was said but who said it. The idea is that we should listen to people who belong to marginalized groups, only they can properly understand and describe their own experiences.

That thinking comes from good intentions but it has in many cases gone too far, to the point where all that matters is who you are, you no longer need to present a solid argument based on good facts and logic, or at least that is less important compared to who you are.
This has led to people just following their group without thinking critically --> cancel culture etc.
I do sympathize with the “progressive activists” but they need to get their shit together in this regard.
