yeah from my experience there are at least two clusters of incidents of
people who talk about dark secret psychological/sociological hacks the normies don’t want you to know (these people tend to lean more rationalisty and are going to be an extremely tiny percentage of people who comment on this forum)
(usually much less severe) possibly autistic people who are socially oblivious of how they are throwing their weight around but well meaning
i think there’s probably quite a lot of value in warning people to be cautious around people who seem like they’re in the first cluster (and I’d mostly associate poly/kink types with the second)
if you are mostly talking about the first cluster I think we are to a very real extent talking past each other—especially in the bay area ea/rat circles are extremely ideologically heterogeneous
