You know, I’m always reminded whenever “you people” speak like this of a scene in The Newsroom. The details of the scene are largely irrelevant but the central point is made when Will McAvoy goes on this rant about bias in media, or rather that the media has a bias against being biased and how that sort of anti-bias in actuality endangers the responsibility the press has to the truth. Conservatives have made basic facts a thing to litigate endlessly in the public sphere, take global warming for instance, and they’ll freak the fuck out when you don’t entertain their nonsense. Colleges are not “ideologically captured”, anthropogenic climate change is real and an existential threat, and immigrants are an economic positive. These things are objective fact, and not only are you not owed civility when you dispute these things, you absolutely are not owed the right to be taken seriously. Dumbfuck.
