MODERATORS
I know that’s the argument but Framing it as ‘the new folks on the block don’t want to build bridges’ isn’t a very good way to build bridges.
Basically I think this whole analysis is a lazy way to dismiss the new left. Not that they’re perfect or anything, but I think there is an equal responsibility for both groups to work together.
That's the point. The Cultural Critical left in Rorty is characterized as the spectator engaging in cultural commentary (which may be insightful), but do little in terms of action. A theme in spectatorial left is often a sense or POV of a country being beyond repair. The Progressive left is what attempts to be side of action. It's love of country and national pride that instill a sense of duty to navigate paths of change and national improvement. If you are working towards reform you would be categorized and have that degree of social left, you are more inline with the old left or progressive left. The whole point is the "group" of new left or cultural left are those commentators that do little to enact change or hope. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achieving_Our_Country
Idk Still sounds to me like this is mostly a clever way to denigrate and dismiss people who aren’t doing things the “right” way.
And I also don’t buy that patriotic duty is the only motivation to work on improving things
But if it works for you then good on ya
