Just remember that SSC once said that Trump was fighting for the rights of "Hispanics" (while posing with a taco bowl)

TIL the answer to one of life’s nagging questions: Which will happen
first, Scott Alexander will admit Donald Trump is a racist or Scott
Alexander will quit blogging?
Again, the fact that a pan-alt-right gathering attracted a few
hundred people matches my claim that there are probably only a few
thousand white supremacists in the US (and is consistent with my claim
that they are less influential than Satanists, given that thousands of
people have shown up to some Satanist masses).
What in the holy shitfuck are you talking about?!‽
Is this a joke, or does he really believe Satanists hold tangible
power in the US, far greater than the alt-right shitlords? And his proof
of claim is based on how willing people are to be racist in public
(essentially doxxing themselves) versus how willing people are to be
goth in public. Yeah, and you panic deleted your entire blog because it
was which of those?
So many white nationalists have since been revealed to be inside the military or in the cops etc. And then there are the few who are high up in the various administrations.
It's not the first time he uses those ridiciulously simplistic and caricatural arguments, while going to great lenghts to deconstruct more complex arguments when they go against his dogmas and favorite ideas.
I'm beginning to believe you don't think very much at all. Has it occurred to you that, unlike firefighters, nobody values Redditors obsessed with people they hate? I can't say I'm fond of the large lack of introspection here either.
> you seem like someone who needs to meditate more
I'm almost impressed by how much of an asshole you're able to come across as in relatively few words.
Prohibiting badly defined “culture wars”, when you think about it for
a second, whether intented or unintented, seems like a nice orwelian
ploy to let whatever cultural paradigm and implicit assumption scotts
agree with pass as unadulterated fact and objectivity, while countering
it or even expanding on it to show the implications and ideological
paradigms its rooted in can be deemed “culture war”

rationalists just arent smart.
