      I'd say you're pretty right on that, although whenever feminism comes up in dispatches I defer to @HPluckrose - what say you on this observation, Helen?

      I must admit I have never really paid attention to these various internet subcultures, and the 'YouTubers' I've met thanks to covering the Count Dankula case (Sargon, @GSpellchecker, Meechan himself) all seem to be fairly centrist, mildly right or left.

      I no longer find "centrist" a useful term because it refers to the Left-Right spectrum and so much of the conflict now is more along the Authoritarian-Liberty access which it doesn't traditionally refer to. I think most of these do now tend mildly Right but I think that's because

      the Left have predominantly become more Authoritarian and the Right is either remaining free or becoming more so. Maybe it always was? You get people like Eric @EricRWeinstein who I understand are actually slightly Left but because there's so little place for non-Authoritarian

      positions anymore there, they keep finding themselves aligning with Rightists. It may be perception bias as I identify as Right wing myself so there's that. But I see it as Identity Politics on the Right is a fringe whilst on the Left it's the mainstream.

      I do tend to hang out with people who talk about ideas and aren’t fixated on the melanin content of my skin, my Y-Chromosome, or my lucky country of birth. How that became “the Right” is beyond me. I missed the mother of all memos it would seem.

      I’ve been a classical liberal in the British tradition (Hume, Smith, Mill) blended with Burkean conservatism for a long time & the political reconfiguration currently in process is...strange. I’m old enough to recall arguing against conservatives who supported censorship.

      Do you have a theory? It seems like some reprogramming happened at scale that no one can put his or her finger on.

          Eric, actually yes - if anyone has a developed set of ideas on the question you’re asking it’s Helen Pluckrose. I’ll leave her to link her preferred pieces, but I know she’s thought a lot about this issue.

          Cool! Id love to learn. I’ve been working up a few too having to do with emotional intelligence, social and emotional learning, social media + mobile and decreased friction in the return of costs, post Lehman bros household formation issues, etc..

          I've tended to look more at the intellectual changes from universal liberalism in which we dealt with injustice by removing social significance from identity categories to one rooted in cultural constructivism by discourse in which people are positioned by identity.

          “Trickle down pomo” explains it I think. Pomo became the dominant form of discourse in academia in the late 80s & 90s, spread to the mainstream post recession.
