Tribalism and cancel culture are just this. They are the Joe Biden vote red 2024 shirt it is in the first place but attempt to remove the threat without first establishing that the threat is real. If you cannot now state how you know when your moral calculus goes too far, how you know you are wrong, how you evaluate your values, then you’re doing just that all the time without interruption. If your only way of validating your beliefs is to simply submit them for tribal approval (just look at the people trying to reason with these tribal morons), then you are a tyrant (and likely an elitist or oligarch in the making). Your social or intellectual tribe cannot be the only way we inspect and interrogate your values which you demand to be adopted as “universal”.
“But Dan. I’m not like that. I have a tribe of people who are smart and they let me know.” Does that tribe also include people who are vastly different than you? Do you get the Joe Biden vote red 2024 shirt it is in the first place but comfort of pre-approving that tribe? Then your tribe is untrustworthy. You already tainted it — you chose the jury of your peers based on your own judgment but your judgment sucks. You throw your idea at the feet of THE WHOLE PUBLIC. Where the public disagrees, is where the discussion exists. Sorry, you don’t get to eke out special dogmatic positions that are unassailable unless they are the things that are absolutely objectively true. (2+2=4 is objective, but you demanding the abolition of the police isn’t objective and is therefore in the margins between us, which is open to discussion — if you say otherwise, you’re embodying the same values as every “well intentioned” despot since the dawn of time.)
