      You don't fucking wait for him to decide You don't let him come to some kind of intellectual decision If him attacking you is *anywhere* in his "decision space" you cut that shit off by any method you have to hand, as fast and as hard as you can

      I guess I just can't connect your points here about taking preemptive action against Nazis with the action being to strip Scott of either his blog or his job. Seems like we can keep punching Nazis AND let Scott do his thing, and the two aren't interfering with each other.

      Scott is friendly with white nationalists, and to the extent that Scott has access to respectability and clout, he provides them access to it too

      I simply haven't seen enough evidence to warrant "friendly". Perhaps "patient with". I like for the world to have some diversity. Scott is a weirdo. I'm reminded of this:https://www.npr.org/2017/08/20/544861933/how-one-man-convinced-200-ku-klux-klan-members-to-give-up-their-robes …

      God, this guy is literally the ONE EXAMPLE you assholes always hold up. The thing is a) not all of these people, by a long shot, actually "converted away" from racism or even actually left the KKK (there have been follow-ups; some of them were right back at it);

      and b) THIS METHOD DOESN'T SCALE. Nobody gives a shit what is going on in the secret hearts of bigots. We just want them to stop doing bigoted things. There are WAY MORE EFFECTIVE methods of accomplishing that than asking them very nicely, one by one, to stop.

      Sheer social shaming and fear of personal consequences has probably done a lot more to turn people away from the alt-right (most likely in favor of just logging off completely) than any of this debate-club bullshit "Bullying" is harmful because it *works*

      We would like to hand the torch to @GeorgeHemingto1 and @davidgerard who will continue the series of unprecedented exposés. What WILL we find? (Hint: it’s racism) Aka I need to sleep but one of u create a thread and link it here

      although I deeply appreciate your top class work here, you must understand that we are both profoundly lazy and tend to approach critique of the rationalist subculture as internet television, including occasionally the bit where you shout at the screen

      Laughter is really what they hate most Their natural element is trying to suck you into something as close to a formal debate as possible and waste your energy and time They can't stand just being callously dismissed with "Pfft nerd"

          That's the Eliezer Yudkowsky quote the name "SneerClub" comes from in the first place They get so fucking mad at the idea of being dismissed based on emotional contempt without even bothering to read their collected reams of evidence Only Chads and Stacies do that

          It's why popularizing the meme of Roko's Basilisk has been 10,000x more helpful in fighting their bullshit than any long point by point dissection from someone like me could be

          look arthur we can't really have a conversation about this unless you've read the sequences, now i know they're long but here's an easy ten thousand word article we could start with, it's about confirmation bias and how it shows that racism isn't real
