- kcplate 5y agoThey are only allowed to be an an expert in 2021 if a majority of anonymous Twitter followers agree with their assessment, and if their stated political opinions for their entire lives lean in the correct direction. Please note those two conditions correlate.
- skinnymuch 5y agoNot saying this is you. Normally your comment is a trope by the right to paradoxically imply how they are such victims in 2021, but the other side are snowflakes and want to cancel every one. There’s an overlap with hard left and a few other niche political views as well. Though with less victimhood and more consistency at times. Personally, I care very little for appeal to authority myself. The bias among experts based on their political views is generally going to be very high.
