[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean, what evidence, whatsoever, is there for your “grifters” accusation?  Many of these people are, to one degree or another, repulsed by what they see as the Democratic Party’s embrace of a neoconservative-type foreign policy and insufficient regard for civil liberties and free speech.  Are some of them contrarians?  Maybe, who knows. So what?[/quote]

Cannot speak for every example here but as soon as a “left wing” or “civil libertarian” online personality gets Thiel-backed funding, you know that their ideology is the green, and I don’t mean the Green Party. [/quote]

Who is getting such funding on the left?  If you are going to look at it that way, one would also need to examine the funding of never Trumper groups, etc., etc., no?[/quote]

PP here. This is why is asked for a [i]principled [/i]way of distinguishing these so-called grifters from genuine interlocutors.

Should these leftists condemn themselves to a life of penury for their viewpoints?[/quote]

Probably not wise to start assessing people’s motives.  Better to assume good faith.  [/quote]
