I'm not. It should be trumpeted as far and wide as those who like it want to spread it.
But to Hank's last point, those who seek to criticize it, or simply make fun of it, should also have a voice. Neither DEI, ESG, climate change, LGBTQ issues, or any other idea should be deemed sacred and beyond reproach.

But that isn't the rule. The rule is, certain views are right, and we can't have dissenting voices.
I think RFK is nuts. But a lot of people don't. The man fills the venues where he speaks. But there is a social media blackout on most of his stuff, on the basis it is misinformation. And when he is covered by traditional media, the slant is endlessly negative.

force behaviors."
Your definition of authoritarian is so narrow its useless. It misses the real authoritarians out there.
