You posted this as if it were terribly damning, so you should probably be the one to explain why paying drug addicts to get on birth control is such a bad thing.

Instant pivot from "He's not a eugenicist!" to "Eugenics is good! Tell me what's so bad about eugenics!"

The charity in question has nothing to do with eugenics. It's about preventing the suffering of children being born to drug addicts who then lose them to the foster care system. But you're deflecting since the specific accusation in the tweet wasn't about eugenics.

I like how the OP in this screenshot mentions this charity for like two lines, goes on this long unhinged Nazi rant, and Scott's only comment is "That charity sounds good!", and you think this is normal and acceptable

We're talking about eugenics because the OP *described the charity as practicing eugenics*, and then goes on this huge rant about all the incredibly invasive eugenics they'd practice if they were in charge (making sure people are the exact right amount of autistic etc)

The simple fact that this is the kind of conversation people had on Scott's LJ all the time and he apparently found it pleasant and stimulating is damning all by itself, even without the parts where he actually chimes in "Hey that particular eugenics sounds good, I'm on board"

The OP was this, and all I'm seeing is people throwing as much shit against the wall to see what sticks, but it's falling far short.pic.twitter.com/0bNkuqKDY1

Lol ok. It looks like some clearly half-baked, neuro-atypical bloviating by someone who isn't even Scott Alexander on a comment thread. It takes a lot more than that to offend me, and how "offensive" something is isn't even what's being discussed here anyway.

The point is when people tell Scott this kind of talk is harmful he ignores them
That's literally what @ElSandifer said

Yes, if they could show some tangible harm maybe, but what people typically do is conflate offence with harm, including you earlier this thread. SSC was very thoughtful about all forms of harm and reasoned extensively about them, but he disagreed with some arguments.
