Harassing the mods into banning someone has never worked. And harassing people in general has never changed their mind.
I may not have many valuable insights, but I have lots of dog photos. (Just not as many as @evanbernick.bsky.social )
This is not how one defends the academic enterprise or sustains academic freedom
You're being too charitable. To endorse "won't cite" is to abandon any meaningful commitment to the academic enterprise.
3. While there are elements of 1, it's not a "simple correction," and insofar as it is 2, thatcj8st underscores 3.
Depends on how substantive the engagement is. Arguments or mutual provocation, not so much. My interactions with faculty colleagues far more substantive than with my more liberal family members.
Not really. It's more a function of the people engaged with.
I agree the insularity on some parts of the right is regrettable.
My experience as I find relatively few folks on this site that are generally interested in substantively engaging across the ideological divide other than scoring caricatures and torching straw.
I think you're correct that few MAGA types would spend much time with something like that. As for most of us conservative academics, we live it, so why would we need to listen to it? (I nonetheless listen to smart left-leaning podcasts in my fields.)
Who said anything about engaging with strangers? (Unless this sort of thing counts.)
I wasnt criticizing the show (and might even check it out).
It seems to me a much better model is to engage directly.

The idea that listening to other liberals examining conservative ideas is meaningfully getting out of the bubble is actually kind of funny
It seems to me you're nutpicking over there just as much as TCW is nut-picking over here.
He certainly does more than many, but reading or listening to Klein is hardly getting very far out of the bubble. It's the difference between reading a travelogue and actually going overseas.
