And activism is when you're pushing a competing cult.



Let's be clear, the 'activism' in question (at basecamp) is anti-racism. And if anti-racism is a competing cult, then you might want to switch sides.


Being unable to countenance good faith disagreement is not a persuasive argument against your ideology being a cult.

As an alternative approach, you can cut the gordian knot of being against anti-racism without being in favor of racism by simply noting that the thing is not what it calls itself.


Self proclaimed anti racists are often pro racism which leads to problems in workplaces where you have to work with a diverse set of individuals.
