I am declaring this article excommunicate traitoris, because I am reading through it and not having a virulent reaction against it, but instead finding it to be reasonable, if embellishing. I take that and the community's strong reaction against it as evidence that the article is effectively mind-killing me due to my political leanings and that I should stop reading now.
...cognitive biases are scary.
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.
I agree, it seems "reasonable, if embellishing", on the other hand, there are many other political blogs with very different politics that also seem "reasonable, if embellishing".
