I read any War Nerd article that comes out, and occasionally read other articles on the site, and my reaction has been similar. The political stuff they say seems, well, "reasonable, if embellishing", and I'd been worrying about the possibility that it was just true.

I should probably follow suit on this, and avoid any non-War-Nerd articles on eXile to avoid being mind-killed, although a part of me worries that I'm simply following group mentality on the Lesswrong cult.
