I started to write a rebuttal and explanation of why I don’t care to see this on LW, but then gave up and just downvoted. I try not to do so very often, but honestly it’s happening more that it used to; I see something useless or irrelevant, and rather than taking the time to say why, I just downvote.
Sorry.
Now that I’m actually writing this, I guess I’ll expand on my “useless or irrelevant” claim. I don’t think LW is a reasonable community for the discussion of politics or specific in/out group behaviors. It’s a fine place to talk about them in the abstract, and using SJ as examples would be fine, but that’s not what this is. This is just “here’s a group I disagree with, and here’s an example of them being dumb”.
