    Jeet Heer Retweeted Ray Radlein

    This thread is a good analysis of the contrarian-to-crackpot trajectory. Applies to a lot of people with different starting points.https://twitter.com/Radlein/status/1133386802360922114 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    Ray Radlein @Radlein
    I came to the conclusion a while back that reflexive contrarianism is a disease and an addiction, that can start with reasonable skepticism and gradually lead its victim into the (ironically unquestioning) holding of truly appalling and evil beliefs.

        Replying to @spencerwindes @HeerJeet @benshapiro

        Ben's a grifter, not a contrarian. Contrarians will stick with positions at odds with their social or financial self-interest, and claim it shows how principled they are.

        If I have been completely mainstream in my views my entire life (except studying Esperanto in high school) and have only one crackpot belief I adopted at the age of 46, what does that mean?

        James Kunstler. Went from astute criticism of suburban design and the failures of the US economy to truly whackjob takes on current politics...

        Very good analysis. I've seen people like Lindsay Shepherd slowly move from contrarian to crackpot over the last few months.
