It does to me.Have you tried getting sense out of an NRx or HBD.er?
Yes, what they say frequently makes a lot more sense than the mainstream position on the issue in question.
I completely disagree. Their grasp of politics is largely based on meta-contrarianism, and has failed to "snap back" into basing one's views on a positive program whose goodness and rationality can be argued for with evidence.
Huh? HBD'ers are making observations about the world, they do not have a "positive program". As for NRx, they do have a positive program do use evidence to argue for it, see the NRx thread and the various blogs linked there for some examples.
