In my skim of the two posts I didn’t get to any suggestion of “used to be favorable, then realized they’re led by duplicitous misanthropes” as a pathway.

I wandered over somehow from RationalWiki, which I had known of since the science-blogging days of yore, and found it more congenial to my tastes than other subreddits. E.g., it was friendlier to excursions into the wonky and erudite than r/badphilosophy, and generally had a justifiably low tolerance for superficial politeness while maintaining a level of empathy for serious matters.
ah, you’re my fault then
