Lmao that’s a great way to build a world view entirely on bullshit. “I only read things by people who are so wrong about what they’re saying that there’s public backlash over it”. I swear people like you work hard every day to make yourselves dumber.

I think there's a difference between wanting to examine for yourself books that were "cancelled" to understand the causes of the controversy and if you agree with them, and building a world view entirely on bullshit. It depends on whether you only read these books or if you read other points of view too.

It sounds like public backlash renders them wrong? No one should seek to form their own opinion?

You got it backwards my guy. The backlash comes because of the problem, it doesn’t create the problem.

It does not come due to any problem I have. It creates a desire among the open-minded to discover for themselves if the "problem" is real or agenda driven.

You’re just using “open minded” to mean “I think I’m smarter than the thousands of experts who have been studying this subject all their life”.
