    ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs Retweeted Megan McArdle

    there are no internet libertarians any more; 1/3 of them became SJWs, the other 2/3 became neoreactionaries, and MAGA yahoos have drifted in and picked up the abandoned banner, even tho they don't understand ithttps://twitter.com/asymmetricinfo/status/1327279079020781568 …

    And this is why I've thrown my lot in with public health experts rather than internet libertarians, even though in general, I do not trust their profession any farther than I can spit a rat. The things they say hold together; the ad hoc rationalizations on the other side don't.

        2/ and, second point, the "health experts" happen to be correct-ish now ... but they blew 100% of their reputation capital / moral authority earlier this year: * masks don't work * go to Chinatown / don't be racist * don't shut the border, Trump Nazi! * FDA delayed tests etc

        3/ One thing I always rail about is that people on my team often yell and hector about what the other side "should" do. Progs should stop taxing us! Progs should stop promoting useless college degrees! Progs should do X or Y or Z.

        4/ Here's a secret: the other side does what it does for reasons. Maybe those reasons are evil. Maybe they're just dumb. But they make some sort of sense, at least to the people performing the acts. So when @asymmetricinfo yells at red tribe to respond to Covid in manner XYZ

        5/ She's ignoring the fact that they are behaving as they are for REASONS, and unless she has some systemic / procedural way to encourage the correct behavior, nothing will change. "Outgroup bad!" feels good, but it doesn't _accomplish_ anything.

        6/ Anyone who wants better mask / social distancing / etc behavior has to look at why its so bad right now / why there is an opposition. Here are the reasons red tribe doesn't trust experts:

        7/ They lied, they abused their moral authority for status, they flip flopped and rewrote history to make Big Brother in 1984 blush, and they never admitted their lies or apologized.

        8/ * masks bad -> masks only for doctors -> masks good! * visit Chinatown! / don't shut down airports -> quarantine! * lockdowns bad -> lockdowns good -> BLM riots are more important than lockdowns -> lockdowns are more important than Trump rallies

        10/ The health "experts" threw the mandate of heaven in the trash. Don't blame the normies for not trusting them now The trust is gone; it will take decades or more to retvrn, unless the "experts" work extra hard to achieve it fast (via introspection, explanation, and apology)

        Heck, 𝙄’𝙢 a health expert in a couple disorders, and I am now skeptical of half the shite we say. This was a betrayal of public trust, and recovery will be slow and only partial. Don’t ever let medicos decide public policy. Health is only 1 factor among many.

        12/ Strong agree. M.A. has been signalling "orange man bad" and related memes EXTRA hard the last few weeks. I assume that the fear of the zombie horde turning has increased recently and everyone wants to be eaten last.https://twitter.com/mr_archenemy/status/1327301693294448651 …

        the only reason people yell "outgroup bad" is to signal their membership (or application for membership) in the ingroup, to the ingroup. this is probably what mcardle is doing - social distancing from the outgroup. so she is accomplishing something - for herself.
