i've been thinking some about your meta-contrarian-ness, and the only other public figure I can think of with the same deal is Matt Yglesias. Someone told me I should tell you about this connection I made.
I am interested. Elaborate (I know very little about Matt Yglesias).
he makes a lot of posts like “it is good for police to catch thieves” which are uncontroversial among the general public but make some tweeters very angry and try to denounce him as fascist for it
i’m not sure why he does it so much if not some meta-contrarian urge
The cloud of discoursers that gathers about him has disproportionate shares of both quality and absurd members, doing this periodically prompts the latter to identify themselves as such which is useful for the impact on the former, really.
