Yes, I also see myself as not being some hardcore ideologue and have positions that are a total mix of left and right, but I can’t even begin to describe the nonsense I’ve been through with Medium staff in applying their flagrant double-standards to promote divisive identity mongers (I won’t even call them left because they represent a total 180 from everything the universalist left used to stand for) and clamp down on those who take an anti-identitarian position. I stopped writing with any frequency on Medium because it increasingly started looking like a dead end. It became just another part of the problem where people on the right or in the center are pushed out and flee into their filter bubbles, leading what gets called “mainstream” to become a left filter bubble. It really impoverishes the public sphere.
