Well, they definitely do not identify as authoritarian according to the annual surveys. Very few claim to be conservative or reactionist, most are either libertarians, liberals or social democrats. Anyway, the rationalist community was never about people who were particularly rational, it was all about people recognizing their own irrationality and biases that inescapably comes with being equipped with a human mind. Of course, that does not mean it didn't attract people who thought it was about being a tribe of us, the rational and enlightened people vs them, the irrational plebs. Which is rather ironic, of course.
