I have learned from you in the intensive research of places where tribal thinking is still dominant.
It is hard to ignore Mike Aleander, who is one of the few others who has a scientific world view rather than a political one. I have learned that when he engages to stand back and watch.
I remember creating the Criticisms of Generational Dynamics thread, as most of the posts you moved had nothing to do with Strauss and Howe. You were messing up the goal of setting up a discussion of their theories, something which has not developed.
The stuff you call garbage? It is no more garbage than what you present. It is ideological. It is more about where it is being presented. An area intensely concentrated on one perspective rejects the other perspective. I am rejected here much as you were rejected on MyBB. A place where ideas can constructively collide is in many ways to be preferred.
If there are oppressed, there are oppressors. If you attack someone fighting for the oppressed, what does that make you?
If you wish this site to remain an ideological cocoon, isolated from all thoughts that disagree with yours, that is your choice.
