So you're just bashing a strawman that you've pigeonholed all opposition into? Okay then...

We had a previous exchange that I ended up dropping. I was a bit sorry about that because I thought it would have been interesting to critique "universalism" on its own merits, rather than the term generally only being mentioned by its detractors.

(For context here I was reading Moldbug while he was writing, and spent a bunch of time internalizing other reactionary writings. I actually credit Moldbug with my transition from a right-Libertarian to an unaligned libertarian that sees left vs right as mere modes of thinking, each with their own merits)

But after seeing how quickly this conversation went downhill, I'm not sure that conversation would have been terribly productive either!
