That's funny. I would dig up some "Stalin did nothing wrong" tweets from your fellow socialists, but twitter is worst than a waste of time - I genuinely have come to believe it rots your brain.

Now that I think about it though, it would be pretty funny if I made a bunch of twitter accounts that claimed to be socialist and said all white people should die from them to prove that socialists really just want white genocide.

(btw just in case someone somewhere doesn't realize I am being 110% tongue in cheek, I suppose these days I need to clarify that I am. p.s. avoid twitter and social media in general, as I am pretty sure that is how peoples perceptions are getting so warped to the point I feel the need to clarify what actually is and isn't tongue in cheek)

-

On a more serious note rhaikh, go read Law, Legislation and Liberty by F.A. Hayek - an actual Classic Liberal intellectual. If you want to criticize a viewpoint as racist, try criticizing actual bedrock intellectuals and academics espousing and defining the view, not random dumbfucks on twitter. Using random dubmfucks on twitter means your own discourse has fallen to the level of random twitter dumbfuckery, which isn't good for anyone. Twitter should seriously not be used for anything but the latest cat picture memes and dick jokes, seriously.

Could you quote relevant parts? I would rather not stare into twitter myself.

That is essentially what the OP in this thread is doing - Part 1 of my point with this link. Part 2 backing up my previous claims about the IDW leading to the alt-right.

I'd prefer if you never engaged with my content, actually.

I think the overarching point here, is were it not for twitter giving a platform, no one would even know about the guy. His rantings, as well as the stalin did nothing wrong and many other crowds would have an audience the size of their sleepy neighborhood tavern. Incidentally, twitters purpose in these cases seems to be helping a couple people who agree connect and giving a few thousand random people someone to yell at. You say he isn't random, but the whole problem with things like twitter is any random person can get an audience and any troll can be fed as long as he sufficiently pushes peoples emotional buttons one way or another. 140 characters (or whatever the limit is) isn't a platform for studious discourse, its a stage for trolls - most of which we would all be better off not feeding, left, right, fascist, communist or otherwise.

The fact that a huge chunk of dumbfuckery from all sides seems to originate or revolve around twitterverse is not lost on me. If you got famous (or infamous) on twitter, and not because of a cute cat pic, its because you said something that triggered peoples emotions. The whole environment self selects for people who engage in the trolliest possible behavior.

I remain unconvinced that the guy is evidence of anything leading to anything though, other that the loudest demagogues and most intentionally offensive getting the most attention on antisocial media.

Try twitting about it, or even better start a hashtag. Unfortunately #epistemicclosure likely already taken.

Maybe since you both only chose to read one of the links I provided, you can compare notes.
