The use of the therapy group model by the left has made it almost impossible for the non-brainwashed to even work with leftists.
The tone of this lecture is abysmal – patronizing and condescending in a most derogatory way. Entirely unsuited to a mature civil academic. And the ‘left’ and ‘leftists’ are indiscriminately ‘lumped’ together – as though there are no significant differences among those whom Mr Preston simply rubbishes as, ‘evidently’, entirely mistaken if not in fact plain stupid ignorant individuals.
A truly disgusting presentation.
I would concede that over generalizations must sometimes be used for reasons such as time constraints. But other than that, what did I say that was wrong?
Btw, you should have heard some of the things I said about the right-wing at the most recent HLMC conference.
