Attacks on @Quillette almost always go the same way: someone accuses it of being a platform for fascists, but when asked to name specific articles, they proudly proclaim that they’ve never read it.
It’s as a reaction to this kind of incuriousness that Quillette even exists. https://twitter.com/Sestze2/status/1096950555908292610 …

Lol, you just linked to a tweet that references a black writer before calling Quillette racist. ...this is not an example of serious engagement.

Ted McCormick @mccormick_tedRacism is not a timeless response to outsiders. It is historically specific. Like plantation slavery. Not everyone in the 18th century embraced either of these things. Several Enlightenment figures embraced both. To pretend otherwise is bullshit. https://twitter.com/clairlemon/status/1003044116974858240 …Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -
Are you aware of what you just linked to? Claire is...obviously right in that tweet. I’m so confused about what you’re trying to say here.

The point of the tweet was that people think Quillette is fashy, but there’s little evidence. Yet historians and others constantly push back on theses articles pushing eugenics and racist tropes (fashy). It’s an example of being too lazy to look.

But that don’t actually advocate eugenics or racist tropes. THATS the reason I’m disagreeing with you. It’s not a lack of willingness to look, it’s that you’re straight up lying. Then when asked to provide examples, you present things that don’t show Quillette being racist.

Lol, Dude, if you don’t want to see it, that’s on you. Quillette had to block racism watch dog a few days ago...lol, who has do do that? No decent person or publications I know.
