Fuck Nuance: The Case Against Overly Careful Argument
Original: Fuck Nuance (2015)
A 2015 essay by Henry Farrell on the academic group blog Crooked Timber, titled 'Fuck Nuance', is drawing renewed attention. The piece argues that appeals to nuance are often used as a delaying tactic to shut down arguments, and that being 'for nuance' is usually an empty rhetorical position rather than a substantive one.
Why now: The essay is being recirculated on Hacker News, likely because its argument about rhetorical bullying remains relevant to current online and political debate.
