I don’t like the big tech deplatforming and censorship stuff. [Deplatforming and Censorship Examples](https://discuss.criticalfallibilism.com/t/deplatforming-and-censorship-examples/211)

I think Crowder and Shapiro are tribalists who feed into the culture wars instead of encouraging rational debate and unbiased problem-solving. I avoid them and generally avoid most politics.

I also have issues with approaches to politics that don’t deal seriously with political philosophy (and some economics). I think it’d help if people tried to understand and agree on concepts more before worrying about current events, news, policies and controversies. I think most politics is tribalist fighting over local optima and short time frames.
