This manifesto makes the same mistake as the partisan left/right political parties. It lumps a whole bunch of issues together and says, "if you don't believe all of these to be true, you're not one of us."
From the article:
Veer rightward instead, and you’ll be similarly disappointed. There, truth isn’t much different, although they wouldn’t call it “situated” (but it is). It is the kind of capital-T “Truth” that’s both “obvious” to everyone and too simplistic to be true,
Funny, but this whole article is just as "truthy" as what it complains about.
