Though liberals also need to find better ways to actually persuade people, regular people, fence sitters, the “impure” etc, rather than just preaching to the choir, moralizing divisively, and hoping for deplatforming and ostracism to work as a way to avoid having to actually persuade people. The way forward isn’t to abandon civil rights, but currently liberalism isn’t all that good at actually persuading people to support civil rights
