I am increasingly disappointed in the lack of rational, analytical media options. Just set up a recurring donation to Quillette. As far as I can tell, it is the last bastion of reason in a sea of madness.Http://quillette.com

Sigh. This is just a different kind of identity politics.

How so? 1) what you read doesn’t necessarily define your politics, 2) identity politics refers to political affiliation based on an immutable characteristic of the person; if anything this is an affiliation by choice

Definitionally, it doesn’t solely cover immutable characteristics - can cover culture, class, religion, socioeconomic background, etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_politics …

Literally half of the stories on the front page right now are various grievances about accusations of racism. https://quillette.com/2020/07/02/america-exports-cancel-culture-to-the-world/ …pic.twitter.com/ziqoyG6n7V

Today the front page has a climate change denial opinion piece:pic.twitter.com/rbMzSqkAGo

@ShellenbergerMD is more complicated than denialism. Correct me if I am wrong, but I think he’s more ecomodernist, as in approving of technological solutions to climate change like nuclear....

I can only speak to that article, which very much frames climate change as a less important issue.

He's no climate change denier. He's a several award winning environmentalist who sticks to the data to show that this worrying issue has been unjustifiably overblown and that green tech alone won't solve it. I recommend you both buy his book, Apocalypse Never.
