author of viral "racism in science" thread nukes his account from orbit after I start asking dangerous questions

Redistribute the racism the most vulnerable

If demand for racism is so high, how do I monetize it? I have a lot of racism to give, but I don't want to do it for free. Is there an online marketplace where I can peddle my racism?

We must fully reinvest in our racism infrastructure.

Not having honest racism anymore has been a serious problem for under achievers

CSA thought the world would collapse without their cotton, but it was their racism that we needed the most

The demand for racism is so high the fbi is pressuring its agents to find it lol

It's honestly surprising that there's no GPT-3-assisted news outlets now.

one does what one must

always

Yeah, sensationalism always wins out. On the bright side: since he nuked the whole thread from orbit, it has no more chance of making it into bottom-feeding news articles, spreading around in direct form, etc. Nothing to be done about the past impressions, so a bunch of people will wander around with loose impressions leading to a vaguely worse model of the world, but straight-up deletion is one of the best possible outcomes in a case like this (and pretty rare too, honestly).

Antiracist baby is literary kino. It encourages whites to confess all of their racist thoughts to combat racism. If publicly announcing all my racist thoughts will help to combat racism, I'm all for it

That's because Trace made the mistake of being a reasonable polite person instead of an unreasonable butthole like the person he was talking to. If he had been more flamboyant and sensational in how he slapped this person down, he'd get better results.

I bet you that if his response to this Twittard's deception was to accuse them of pedophilia and call for their execution, he'd get a ton more views. Why be honest when interacting with dishonest people? You're not obligated to treat them with any more empathy or compassion than they show you.

That's why I like to lowkey dogwhistle for the execution of "social scientists" whose work doesn't replicate. The sensationalism gets me a lot more page-clicks, and the worst outcome that will happen is that the shitty scientists actually do get executed, which is a net win for humanity.

See the silver lining buddy, in your era you are part of the actual cool crowd, the ones who rightfully laugh at the sheep, it's like being galileo

You can have a very fake Twitter thread about a KKK Vietnam vet doing super villian shit get well over 100k likes without any Snopes articles or Vox explainers but if one boomer forwards an email it's a heckin conspiracy theory

yeah, stole from the MRA post, with minor edits.

yep. the scale of difference in response rate was implausible, the specific remarks he mentioned would have gotten any academic more-or-less executed on the spot, and any serious postdoc would look through his publications. No good way to fake something like that. The whole story just made no sense at all.

every day on my wedding ring

Little of column A, little of column B. My instinct is/was to believe the MRA post also, but... y'know, it doesn't provide any more evidence than the academia one, and it doesn't even have the credibility of being attached to someone's real name. I still want to say it sounds more plausible, but yeah, I think a bit more skepticism towards it is probably healthy.

as you can clearly see, I'm a vampire now
