A comment on Outraged about the Google diversity memo?. Parent comment
It's logic too cynical for me, but it's basically:
1. OK. They decide this culture war out there is serious and nobody is looking out for them.
2. They find "their" camp and support it.
3 (sometimes). After switching/limiting media sources to match new political assumptions, opposing views seem more malicious and more unhinged.
It's worth noting that a lot of the blowback from this incident is due to #3 happening for a different group of people.
