It seems to me the author's divergence of views may be due to his increasing focus on politics, with a particular orientation that explicitly shows through the comics. It may just be a reflection of what's happening at scale in Silicon Valley's tech world, a movement which Twitter, which the author joined most likely not coincidentally, is at the forefront of.
- proto-n 5y agoAs someone from a different continent and not really familiar with the topic, are you willing to be a bit more specific? What particular orientation?
- noisem4ker 5y agoSure. Referring to the topics mentioned by the article: the one that is anti-military, pro-labour, anti-sexism/misogyny, pro-migration. On the 1-bit political spectrum of the USA, this would be the left. I'm convinced, though, that this is a special breed of progressivism and political activism, especially popular on the west coast. I'm not from the USA either and this is just what I understand from the outside of it.
