      Who could have predicted that Freddie DeBoer would spread an utterly bullshit culture war story in order to make an ideological point. I mean, who other than anyone familiar with Freddie DeBoer.pic.twitter.com/JNLf5uZAbw

      you’re now spreading the idea that FdB willfully made up an implausible factoid for ideological reasons, which sounds at least as implausible as the 0% white thing.

      I didn't say he made it up, I said he spread it. And "willfully" implies intent, which is not necessary here. He found a BS culture war factoid & he's not the kind to inspect it too closely.

          as you know, all people, including you and me, are susceptible to making mistakes that confirm some preexisting belief — not just FdB.

          That's true and as I mentioned in my initial reaction to this (see below) I've fallen for culture war bullshit myself. But some are more susceptible than others & I see no evidence that FdB is someone who takes care to check his biases. Quite the reverse.https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1403187407814545416 …

          You know 95% of these hot culture war anecdotes turn out to be bullshit on close examination. I've fallen for a few of them myself and now try to keep some distance from genre unless it's something well-reported.

          It's not a singe episode. He's repeatedly lied about things (as the current example shows). He's not an honest person. That is not caused by a medical condition but by a moral failure.
