  • Helen Pluckrose
White Fragility Training and Freedom of Belief
I don’t believe what you believe, and I don’t have to. I defend your right to hold, express and live by your own belief system, but you have no right to impose any of it on me.

How to Talk to Your Employers About Anti-Racism

  • July 21, 2020

A Short Letter to a Misunderstanding Right

  • March 11, 2020
  • Helen Pluckrose
I find it very odd when people keep telling me that “the left” is doing something bad with regard to wokeness and applied postmodernism when so many of the people opposing identity politics, cancel culture, collective blame, language policing, deplatforming, and censorship by the Critical Social Justice faction are, in fact, on the left.

Identity Politics Does Not Continue the Work of the Civil Rights Movements

  • January 22, 2020
  • Helen Pluckrose and James Lindsay
