A woman in Regent's Park, London engaged in Spectrum Street Epistemology, starting with light-hearted claims and gradually moving to more challenging ones. Initially, seeing that the woman was accompanied by dogs, Peter presents various claims about dogs and cats.
A shutting down of diverse viewpoints, debate and conversation is exactly the same problem we have in the U.S. The same ideology has infected both cultures. My recent Substack is titled "The Ideology that Captured Our Culture" at https://2026.substack.com/p/the-ideology-that-captured-our-culture

"In a word, it’s Marxism. Today’s Marxists have achieved unprecedented success by transforming classical Marxism into cultural Marxism."
1. I agree (H/T James Lindsay) Tuned on The Light Bulb For Me. (ok ok its a dim bulb, but its all I've got :-))
2. This is changing because Cultural Marxism is just to weird for most people, and it goes against everything it means to be American. The Big mistake they (Cultural Marxists) made was starting to believe their own PR. Its like a Dealer who stats using his own product. never works out well.
3. It seems to me people across the political divide are stating to talk TO each other, not AT each other.
No degree in political science or economics is necessary a person to know we are being invaded, we have a compounding rate of inflation, Net Zero is not feasible, and illegal drugs are destroying freedom in the US.

I agree with your points but I think you mean your last one the other way around.
Ppl too often talk AT each other instead of TO each other.
Actually its more like Yell at each other.
Indeed. Name calling is like step 2 in the radical handbook after the yelling.
The problem isn’t that we need more viewpoints, debate, or conversation. The problem is that we are being forced against our own better judgement. 🙄
Forcing people is integral to totalitarian ideology. It is the opposite of freedom.
No degree in political science or economics is necessary a person to know we are being invaded, we have a compounding rate of inflation, Net Zero is not feasible, and illegal drugs are destroying freedom in the US.
