Nobody much cares about insider vs outsider science with just theoretical consequences.
It's the intersection with society and government action which motivates people. Sometimes yes, outsider science "matters" because what it's doing is confronting decisions of consequence.
In classic left-vs-right politics, it's almost always about something other than the science part. Nobody pushing bleach into their veins was dissident scientist as I see it.
