      16/ The problem is that the left consolidated on one side, and took 75% of the market, and the right basically said "oh? well, OK, find, we can do that too!" and gathered all their toys (mostly black pistols and night vision scopes) and rushed off to the other side.

      17/ ...and now there is LITTLE LEFT IN THE MIDDLE. Right wing SF is great. Left wing SF is great. ...but the fertile valley in between these two mountain ranges, watered with the run off from each, was better than either.

      18/ And that valley is mostly gone now. Ringworld was replaced with Right Wing Space Carrier Fleet New America. Pern was replaced with Feminist Dragon Whisperer (of color, also Muslim). Everything got pulled to the poles.

      21/ Did you read the part of the tweet that you're responding to which explained that? It started with "...but" and continued "it's hard to escape the conclusion that the Powers That Be are counting checkboxes as they do their manuscript purchasing"https://twitter.com/9ftnina/status/1078380475607990272 …

      23/ The archives are always there, sure ...but the CULTURE is what is being printed & read now. It doesn't matter if Gollancz reprints Kiteworld & few others; the culture is what the other 4,000 titles at B&N are And now that's 10-20% milSF, 90% leftSFhttps://twitter.com/thepiclord/status/1078380517182107660 …

      I sure as hell ain't going to question your analsysis. But I do note that all the great stuff that sprung up in the valley is still out there and still great. Do you think there's at all a risk of the great classics of the genre getting overshadowed and/or forgotten?

      I think there is an age/technology/leisure time thing at work here that is/has enabled/driven the divide you're talking about. The difference between 1996 and 2006 are huge. The mass interactions/communication enabled by the internet has changed everything.

      25/ Concur with most of this. I honestly don't like Scalzi's writing - I think it's trite and not good. But that's because his writing is bad, not just bc he is. There are hard lefties who write amazing SF.https://twitter.com/shapr/status/1078386601955332096 …

      @MorlockP I've met Baen's Toni, Correia, Asaro, and I like reading Doctorow, Scalzi, Card (but Card's politics, NO). Perhaps the larger issue is, is the creator separate from the creation? I think yes, for the most part. I read good research by people I can't stand, for example.

      Imo, this is because largely due to the fact of the @scalzi factor and take over, which made everything he touched and influenced at Tor, SJW, and extreme leftist. @scalzi imo is the head of the beast.

          Yet if you remove that head two more will grow back in its place I am sure.
