Alex was willing to cop to to the truth when he was called on it by Professor Hal Pashler of UCSD, but then 4.5 years passed and I independently made the exact same observations, and because I'm a nobody @AlexNowrasteh called me a "cowardly anonymous troll".

103/ Dude, the only one in this thread who is confused on the difference between "by X percent" and "by X points" is you. It's OK. The rest of us get it, and we're not angry or upset at you. But join us in proper and accepted usage.https://twitter.com/SpikerIsAwesome/status/993928607692197888 …

SpikerIsAwesome @SpikerIsAwesomeReplying to @MorlockP @BostonDelendEstWhen we're discussing statistical significance, which Cato's paper is doing and you are responding to, one of those is proper and the other is not. Not because its technically inaccurate, but because its needlessly confusing (unless confusing your audience is your intention).2 replies 0 retweets 6 likesShow this thread -

@AlexNowrasteh understood the objections as valid 4.5 years ago but then stonewalled and dismissed my independent discovery of the issue as "anonymous trolling" (The@CatoInstitute logo is nice and crisp, reminding us all WBTI.)pic.twitter.com/uvA0pyVCQO

@wraithburn got@AlexNowrasteh to admit that first generation immigrants do in facto vote more Dem than natives. (just like their children and grandchildren do) Question for@CatoInstitute - why are you in favor of more immigration when your own ppl say they vote Dem?pic.twitter.com/Y1slJvegKz

106/ LOL,
@AlexNowrasteh now has the assistance of some white knight who is connecting traits like!e "uses logic to dissect propaganda" & "wants a retraction of false data" to white supremacy. Good points;@AlexNowrasteh and@CatoInstitute should adopt!https://twitter.com/Sxeptomaniac/status/993887383064989696?s=19 …ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs added,
Matthew Jacobs @SxeptomaniacReplying to @AlexNowrastehForget it. There's a bunch of thinly-veiled white nationalist rhetoric among that guy's circle, making it pretty clear why they rely on proof by verbosity, aggressive sea-lioning, and demanding a formal debate. They want to be taken seriously, but there's no reason to do so.5 replies 1 retweet 9 likesShow this thread -

Prometheus 2.1 @wraithburnReplying to @MorlockP @AlexNowrasteh @CatoInstituteAlex also retreated to credentialism and his being published in peer review to try and intellectually bully me last night. My fav bit was when he linked to a blog post he wrote that ended by contradicting what he claimed it proved.1 reply 0 retweets 2 likesShow this thread -

@AlexNowrasteh engages lots of credentialism and ad hominems: calls people "trolls", "anonymous", "fools", etc. The one thing he won't do is admit that his immigration plans are bad for American liberty (...according to the GSS data that underlies his white papers!)4 replies 1 retweet 6 likesShow this thread

I see @AlexNowrasteh and @CatoInstitute have another paper.
"Immigrants...consume a lower dollar value of benefits than native-born Americans."
Interesting.
One question: given that benefits are funded by progressive income taxes, who pays?https://twitter.com/CatoInstitute/status/994656789668028421 …

111/ Given that most immigrants are poor, and poor people in the US pay close to zero in income taxes, I'll bet
@AlexNowrasteh a nickel that immigrants take more out of the welfare system than they pay into it. Want to make that bet@AlexNowrasteh ?3 replies 0 retweets 11 likesShow this threadThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

On a local level, taxes tend to be regressive.
