Why comment at all if you don’t have the time to read 400 words?
People who want to flatten political ideologies and place millions of people into preconceived ideological US-centric buckets are not "much better informed" on any topic. They're just paid parrots shoving propaganda.
An appeal to authority is less convincing than showing the work.
I wouldn’t consider anyone who thinks you can only change your gender with surgery a liberal.
This redefines medicine to include literally all human activity, from sartorial preferences to how one crosses their legs. So sure, if we render this term meaningless we can apply it.
Source?
For what it’s worth, I’d call that hard leftist. Not liberal. In the same way I’d call someone insisting on traditional gender labels right wing, not merely conservative. (The latter applying that labelling preference to one’s own children, only.)
And returning to the proximate point, none of that is medicine.
The last time I read something by JBM, he had said that "people who don't have a passport (a sign that they have not recently travelled abroad) were more likely to vote Brexit"
To me, he was implying that ignorance of other lands led them to vote Brexit, but I think the more important underlying factor is that passports and travel cost money.
So to return to my point, I too am suspicious of the statistics that JBM shows.
As with all statistics, they are crafted to push a particular opinion.
