Left vs Right: Debating Simon Laird

A civil debate.
6
3

Simon is the author of “Why You Should be an Anti-Trans Extremist.”

Debate Topics:

  • How do we restore a culture of honor?

  • Who is more superstitious: left or right?

  • Which is better: populism or institutionalism?

  • Can right-wing institutionalists, like Liz Cheney, survive in a post-Trump America?

  • What is the fundamental distinction between left and right?

    • Change vs status?

    • Centralization vs particularism?

    • Collectivism vs individual rights?

  • Can a “Christian-ish” movement defeat the left?

  • Can a broad coalition of “libertarian-ish” Americans defeat the left?

Simon and I covered a wide range of topics, and after two hours, I still felt there was much more to explore and understand. If you’d like to see a part two, go ahead and like, comment, and re-stack.
