RT @jonathanstray: @Glenn__Kenny @raypride Old argument. Bad framing: "they're working for free!" Good framing: "people love putting stuff on the internet!"
I disagree that "left pseudoscience" is harmless -- see: people who forgo cancer treatment in favor of "alternative medicine"; vaccine deniers.

Agreed, the anti-vaxxers and quacks and snake oil salesman definitely cause harm, but I think the main contrast the author makes is how one side has embraced anti-science as a political platform, and whatever support on the other side there is for non-science and pseudoscience, it's certainly not symmetrical.

Denying global climate change, or at least human involvement is a stance of the right. Anti-vaccine is not a stance of the left. It's not equivalent.
