Because if you're obsessed with virtue signaling, you won't stop at some candy-ass vegetarianism.

I had no idea there were so many people with such a tenuous hold on reality. I've only met two people with paranoid delusions IRL. There's about 5 times that many in the regular commentariat at SSC.

There's no way in heck the person he is responding to is an alt-right troll pretending to be a leftist. It wasn't even much of a provocative statement. Also same guy accused two other commentors of also being fake leftist alt-right trolls. He's got more than a few screws loose.

Yeah, I'm sure someone will call this a charitable description of their opinion and not a gross mischaracterization. At least he wasn't participating in a community that values such clarity.

Oh, so you do agree with the community norms, but they just don't apply to you.

I bet if you grepped all of his posts for "never seen" you could make the case that he is Ray Charles.
I thought the point of giving token "lefties" (that is idpol true believers, the median commenter is probably to the left of Obama which apparently means they are far-right) privilege was to have people constructively argue from that position and give cover against accusations of being a hive of scum and villainy.
Given that all of them are just bags of water and cognitive biases they obviously fail on the first and their presence and Scott's ever increasing thumb on the balance for them has not kept the wolves at bay, what purpose do they serve?

This is just a rhetorical flourish, right? Because I'd have expected very much the opposite.
I don't have enough hubris to say I would've expected a clever argument about ~context~ and ~nuance~, and the government taking an official position on the matter of cutting bits of babies dicks off being a bridge too far, because something something ~marketplace of ideas~, something something ~utilitarianism~.
But that is exactly what you got, and surely someone – someone! – could have predicted it.
