Hopefully this healthier mix of Liberal, Centrist, and Conservative individuals do better then :)

We seem to have incompatible definitions of those terms. But I guess that's why this is a good thing. People bring different lived experiences and perspectives to their creative work. Some of those differences are too far to bridge while trying to make a living.

They should be able to go off and build their own home that suits their needs when others won't change their home to serve one specific community's conflicting preferences.

If you look at the intellectualdark.website, GP description was pretty much on the spot IMHO.

The people there, like Jordan Peterson, Sarah Vaughan, Sam Harris, Dave Rubin, Lindsay Shepherd and Claire Lehmann are definitely not alt-right, not only by their own accord, but also by my personal reading and viewing of their work. Have been following that site, and so far spotted no white supremacists, racists, bigots etc.

EDIT: First sentence was contradictory.

>> "Actually [...] I believe."

My disagreement is not out of ignorance of who these people are and what they think. I promise we're not going to agree here. Nothing can come of pursuing a subthread trying to agree on definitions for political alignments.

Fixed. Thanks.
