Yeah, I said neither of those things in that post. The closest I got was saying that you and I see the world very differently and I have little hope for our viewpoints to converge, that we're going to be able to come to some agreement, so there's little point in trying to convince you. So when you accuse me of having called you a "danger to a converged society", I first of all have no idea what a "converged society" is or whether I'd even want that, and second... just... no. I never said that.

As for whether BLM is regressive, I think identity politics deliberately divides people into separate classes with separate inherent expected interests based on race, gender, sexual orientation, etc. and then engages in a bizarre, absurd practice of attempting to determine who's more aggrieved than who based entirely on a person's membership in said groups. That's pretty illiberal. But I don't recall personally accusing you of anything. So, no. I never said that either.

I still don't think there's any point in arguing but it's hard not to respond when someone puts words in your mouth.
