An expression used to characterize those of us who hold a certain set of beliefs and possess a certain set of values. It will be self-evident to posterity that we who now hold these beliefs and attitudes were correct, and thus on 'the right side of history'.
We who are on the 'right side of history' believe in objective reality and the capacity for science and rationality to uncover truths about the world.
We believe in free speech, open discourse, and continuous debate.
We believe that verbal and artistic offensiveness is not a crime.
We believe that it is cowardly to deplatform those who you disagree with.
We believe it is cowardly not to engage with those who you disagree with.
We believe in individualism over group identity.
We believe that you should judge an individual based on the content of their character and not the color of their skin or any other inessential attribute.
We hold color-blindness as an ideal to strive for.
We believe that men and women have differences, but this is okay and men and women should not be inhibited from doing what they wish on the grounds of sex-based prejudice.
We believe that is just fine to be gay, straight, or bi.
We believe that there is nothing wrong with being transgender. It is legitimate, despite there being a lot of junk philosophy that has attached itself to theory of gender presently. We will work out these problems together with the help of reason, science, open discourse, and debate.
We reject that there is any virtue in proclaiming a victim identity.
We believe in liberal democracy and reasonably regulated market economies.
We value liberty, fortitude, strength, and personal responsibility.
