It seems to me that culture war posturing is one thing, a deliberate source of divisive power that some milk for outrage.

It seems to me that there are some issues with a clear right and wrong: the climate emergency. We essentially cannot overreact, we should be doing 309% of what we are currently doing to go zero carbon. In such a case as the “real world outside our society” id involved, it would seem that there are objectively right and wrong courses of action, in addition to many complex calculi that can have mixed value even if implemented with purely good faith and intentions. (Aka actual error)

It would seem that legions of conservative and prudent scientists from diverse fields are to be considered “political radicals” for merely telling the truth.
