I googled Robin DiAngelo and expected to read about a far-right Jordan Peterson type. Instead I found that she's the person who created the term "white fragility". From her wiki page, I don't see any reason to compare her to a flat earther

Peterson is still well within the Overton window, isn't he? He's still very popular (and not banned) on youtube, and would have broadly been considered a social liberal 25 years ago.

Or is this me taking "far right" more literally than you meant it? Are you talking merely from your perspective, and not human history and all obscure corners of political thought?

She's socially accepted by some groups. If you want to understand why I dislike her book I'd suggest reading it. It's one of those that either makes you a follower or question whether you've traveled into a parallel dimension.

Farther up I provide a critique juxtaposed with what I generally follow (intersectionality).
