I finally wrote my FAA article follow-up

@Impassionata is just frustrated with the bayesian cult's inability to process the fascism as fascism

they can see all of the individual pieces

the abuse of power

the xenophobia

the use of violence

and they tend to think that they haven't reacted prematurely, haven't overreacted.

and they go back and they check their "priors" and confirm that their preconceived notions were math feelings math strong rational

but they never could accept that leftists got it right back in 2016 on just a few vibes alone.

they never could accept that these movements are well studied, as is the moderate denialism around them.

so: puncturing that moderate denialism is a primary animating force of the wider Impassionata gang.

(Musk is just a nazi because the story told over the nazi salute doesn't obscure the fact of the salute, or what it means to the fascists who see it, who though they are low in number, nevertheless definitely believe Musk is a fascist. the attempt to rip all woke language from our society is just the kind of language game that woke-critical arguments vilify. enantiodromia! woke derangement syndrome ultimately culminates in an anti-woke purity spiral. "virtue signaling" and "vice signaling" are a sign that politics have become 'virtual': it becomes possible to assume that no one means anything by their signals, and this postmodern hogwash eats good sense and contributes to an inability to call the darn fascism what it is: fascism.)

That's how you can tell Trace is a good person.
