Arnold Kling thinks of himself as anti-elitist, but even more anti-mobist:
When the mob emerges, I cease to be libertarian and instead become ultra-conservative. There is no phenomenon more barbaric than the mob.
Kling was delighted to learn about “unfollowing” on Facebook, so he could unfollow any friends who constantly posted political screeds.
He also cites James Poulos on why Twitter is terrible:
Twitter is a megaphone for the worldview wars. It fosters constant competition among our claims that everyone should care and act as we do.
