Oddbean new post about login | logout Here's the thing about the Russell Brand rape accusations: He also made a turn to the Right a while back. Weird how that keeps happening.
@d0154568 I hate the term “left” because it refers to so many disparate things. But too often, it refers to the cultural left, a partisan crowd that will tolerate assholes as long as they’re part of the “team”. Russell Brand was always an asshole but he played to the cultural left—and thus people ignored his toxicity.
