Whatever I say is true, because I am _____?
Anything other than _____ism, may not be considered?
I am not clear enough on the concept to summarize it.
Essentially the New Bulverism doesn’t hold that believing something because “you are” is necessarily either valid or invalid.
Here I start beating my head against the wall in the editing trying to say something, anything well. And this post hereafter is one mess of editing.
Earlier in another post I brought up those who make everything about power, and how to them there may not really be education so much a different bents of indoctrination.
Before that there’s nature, or the bit “well, you believe that because you are” arises from. Or is said to arise from.
The ideology of much of the Left, which frequently seems one of power rather than reasons, really doesn’t seem to have problems with believing because you are. Are you black? Well you should have internalized certain attitudes and if you did so you did so because you’re black, you’re a victim. Are you a woman? Same kinda assumptions apply. And so forth. So long as the beliefs that are asserted to be yours because you are are the sorts of beliefs or ways of thinking that the Left thinks proper you’re good to go. All your Bulverisms are valid, and you don’t need reasons to believe those things at all.
(Which means you don’t have to defend your beliefs either, for refutation attempts are not just impossible but may be deemed aggressions themselves)
Conversely, if the things are are expected to believe aren’t believed, and you are from a group that has made victims of all these other groups: when they accuse you of believing this or that because you are (white, Asian, male, straight, cis-gendered, rich, etc) all you beliefs are invalid ... you bad Deplorable you!
And then there are those whose beliefs don’t line up with what they are expected to believe because of what they are ... even though they may otherwise be deemed victims.
The judgment about validity is ideological, not on if you have reasons to believe or not. What the New Bulverism adds to the ideology is that the “you are” that you are really determines what is valid for you to believe.
That’s why I say the old is an abuse of philosophy but the new an abuse of ideology.
