The past week I thought about the differences between Slatestarcodex (Scott Alexander) and @Popehat (Ken White.) Besides being upper class white men in California in degreed professions, in some ways they occupy very much the same political niche with some similar fans. They’re left of center to be sure, and politically sophisticated, but they hold certain ideals above the “with us or against us” of modern politics and culture war. They’ve made their name by loudly adhering to their principles instead of whatever trend is most useful to the left today. Alexander has his rationalism, but beyond that, a form of humanistic inquiry that produces great essays like “I Can Tolerate Anything Except the Outgroup”. White delights in telling hyperactivists how wrong their understanding of the law is, particularly with regards to things like RICO or “crying fire in a crowded theater.” (If you’re reading this, you’re probably familiar with both men.) Let’s call them principled liberals. I doubt either of them has ever voted for a Republican presidential candidate, but they get along fine with polite Republicans in the course of their professions, etc etc.

And yet, they have completely different attitudes and allies. In fact, they probably detest the other, the few times they read the other. And I think the “why” here is very interesting.

Popehat feels great comfort with the left and viciously mocks those who are afraid of political correctness, SJW’s, and the like. Slatestarcodex writes constantly about how the left is ruining science and academia, and politically shooting themselves in the foot. Again, on any policy matter, I suspect they have little to zero difference in what they want implemented, and what politicians to support, but their attitude engaging in online politics is night and day.

But Popehat routinely disagrees with various left-wing activists, telling them why their ad hoc definition of hate speech is unenforceable and a bad idea, or why giving prosecutors unlimited power when they’re hounding *your* enemies is a devil’s bargain. The difference is, AFAICT, is that he sees these extremists as a minority, as the exception. He broadly thinks the left is good (or at least more reasonable than the right), and just that some “bad apples” behind various twitter handles are just as dumb as Trumpians, and he is happy to mock them too. He doesn’t fear that making fun of a troll on the left will get him denounced. He sees a clear difference between loonies at Oberlin and the sort of centrist liberal fellow lawyers who are his professional environment.

Slatestarcodex sees no clear line. In fact his essays frequently talk about the slippery slope across that line - if you cede a philosophical point to the left, then you have to immediately ask yourself whether the most extreme and inane version of that point is also correct, and now the loonies are running the asylum again. The harassing emails he gets do not seem just from loonies, but from the entire spectrum, right and left, centrist and extremists.

I’d also throw the pair of pundits Matthew Yglesias and Jessie Singal into this mix. Again, these two media microcelebrities probably want the exact same policy outcomes. Yglesias however thinks the left is broadly made of good people, he doesn’t try to antagonize them, and in his experience saying things like “my young child plays rougher because he is a boy” is perfectly safe to say and won’t get you thrown in jail by any thought police. Whereas Singal is laser-focus obsessed about the dumbest thing on the left anyone has said today, raising the twitter feuds of YA authors and critics to the single most important topic of his newsfeed. Yglesias will happily call out tactical disagreement on the left (to the point of taking pride in the award “Chief Neoliberal Shill”) but just doesn’t ever worry that the looniest and most demanding thing said by a BLM account is also the marching orders for all of establishment media.

This divide seems the actual relevant divide in cosmopolitan circles these days. Not between centrists or extremists. Not even between the trolls and the adults. But between those who see the trolls/extremists as representative of leftism over all, and who see them as a few bad apples that can be ignored. (Needless to say, whether this line exists or not is not an objective question with a clear answer.)

As Daws implies, the recent epidemic of "transgenderism" is not an ordinary situation. It is an emotional contagion - a mass hysteria. The number of youths who experience real gender dysphoria is minuscule, but the prevalence of transgender propaganda (propagated by a tiny group of activists within the minuscule number of gender dysphorics) has convinced many young people - particularly young women - that they might not be what sex they actually are. Ironically, the transgender hyperactivists are probably more likely to provoke even more negative reactions than they would otherwise by taking this approach. People don't like being told what to think, especially when it's so obvious that's what is being done.
