Why should I censor myself just because there are extremists out there?
I actually despise these trigger warnings and cancel culture of cultural pieces just because the author was a misogynistic idiot (or anti semite, or proponent of slavery). We need to put bools/texts/essays into their historical contexts and discuss why we today hold beliefs that are different (and to us feel more modern/humane/better).
I am politically very left, atheist and I argue against dehumanizing isms since my days in high school 25 to 30 years ago. But still I find value in discussing ideas from Kant, Luther or many others that nowadays are often canceled in educational settings because of their despicable values/isms.
I have no delusions that my political opinions or writing style are original enough or convincing enough to change the world. So it’s all just risk for me. If I’m writing something on my blog, it’s probably a focused technical article with no politics and little to no humor.
