He got out of there at the right time IMO, perhaps too late, even.

On this note, there is at least one other fella in these circles for whom I fear it may be too late. Alas.

Slightly unrelated question, but why do so many of Scott's "friends" treat him like shit? And why does he put up with it?

>No enemies to the left, no friends to the right
>Scott Alexander’s blog used to be good, but now he has been terrorized out of politics. Therefore boring. The problem was he purged all frequent commentors to the right of him out of the comments, which means that he had only enemies in his comments. And, being the rightmost, was persecuted. He has stopped posting on politics, I assume as a result of this persecution.

Some of them do. Jiro for example seems to hate his guts. Not sure why he hangs out on the blog of someone who he hates.

I ask myself a pretty similar question about /ratanon/ all the goddamn time. Also I think like half of us have Tumblr accounts as well.

There are actually a lot of leftists on SSC, but they are constantly complaining about being dogpiled because they never assist each other.

There's a couple that could easily replace Colmes. And several more that might be leftists on economics but are as unhinged as anyone on the right about tumblr social justice types.

It's the social justice types who are unhinged. Some SSC posters have spent the last few months downplaying the SJW threat and acting like its opponents were overreacting, when we now after a University riot find that many of the antifa were working there, and the Uni online magazine is justifying the violence using classic SJ type concepts.
It's not surprising people on the left who care about economics oppose them, because there won't be a left if that lot get their way.

At least 85% of the comment section is to Scott's right. Just look at any post where he mentions his opinion on Trump to verify this.

"SJW threat" "riot" "antifa" "Uni online magazine" "won't be a left"
Yep, unhinged.
At least the people setting their hair on fire about DJT are talking about someone with access to nukes. It's still over the top but there is some bare plausibility there.

>SJW threat
Modern anarchists anarchists and communists are steeped in social justice identity politics. Basically anywhere that's not /leftypol/ and is revolutionary left is like this now. All the reddit socialist places, and revleft, all the big ones are all steeped in this "privilege" talk.
>riot
So what happened at Berkeley? Fires were started and people were beaten up with flagpoles.
>At least the people setting their hair on fire about DJT are talking about someone with access to nukes. It's still over the top but there is some bare plausibility there.
It's unhinged to act like anything short of nukes is not a threat, because it implies that nuclear war is the barely passing level.
DJT is a threat. I agree. This is no bearing on whether the SJ and radical left people aren't also a threat, and in fact I'm arguing that they damage the ability of the left to fight Donald Trump.
>won't be a left
This isn't unhinged. Go check out the Guardian's recent article on this. The results of left wing parties across the Western world lately have been absolutely abysmal. They're in decline. This is a fact.

Worse happens when boston wins in the post season. If you are going to call that a riot, what word do you break out for LA in 1992 or NYC in 1977.
I know conservatives have trouble with it, but try to maintain a sense of perspective. I don't want to be hearing about this non-event for the next decades like Benghazi, Rotherham, and Eich.

Jim literally too dumb to notice anything but his nRx nonsense is "politics", fails to notice that Scott wrote his post debunking that and moved on.

Forget pose, I'm not at all worried about this "SJW" threat you all are so hysterical about. It is entirely irrational to be as worried as you are. Calibrate better.
