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.

Scott wrote a post encouraging his readers to vote for anyone but Trump: https://web.archive.org/web/20200220221540/https://slatestarcodex.com/2016/09/28/ssc-endorses-clinton-johnson-or-stein/ … That seems pretty scaleable to me

I don't understand the critique--"Scott's anti-Trump article did not prevent Trump's election"? That critique could also be made of every journalist who wrote an anti-Trump article My suspicion is that Scott's article did more than most

My suspicion is that the months and months Scott spent reassuring "Gray Tribe" and "Red Tribe" people in "Blue Tribe Enemy Territory" that they weren't terrible people and their resentments and insecurities were valid and all that shit did far far more than that one article

The big moment where you turn around and pull a judo maneuver and "spend the capital you've accrued" does not work You can't spend months befriending a Nazi telling them being a Nazi is not so bad and then suddenly go "Ah HA, the big reveal is that it IS bad"

Jesus fuck like I'm not on the Internet and I haven't seen this corny-ass story a million times "And then I looked my friend Hans in the eye and said 'Those Jews you talk so much about... I am one of them' And silently, he began to weep" Gag me

This particular article is especially garbage because HE IS ON THEIR SIDE He AGREES that the woke cancelation mobs of raving SJWs are about to tear apart the Republic and he's trying to argue Trump is a BAD STRATEGY for opposing them

I know they say not to read the comments but if you want to honestly evaluate what kind of community Scott fosters, read the comments The big debate that takes place under this article mostly consists of the pro-Trump half of his commenters just getting more radicalized

"Scott understands the threat but he's too nice and sheltered and doesn't see the true level of danger" It's a constant refrain with him (because he is in fact absurdly narcissistically terrified of SJWs and surrounds himself with people to validate that fear)
