      So check out the screenshot. An ex-friend tweeted this at a current friend. And it's just... not true. I did defend James Damore, and I'd do it again, but I'm not sympathetic to fascism. The haircut reference is a little mystifyingpic.twitter.com/LytlesjvoA

      I searched my tweets for the word "haircut," and I guess maybe it's this? Coulda been a similar remark on Facebook or possibly IRL, I'm not surepic.twitter.com/EYfwmNLhLM

      It's frustrating. If you're against political violence and in favor of free speech, some people will twist your sincere sentiment of "I don't trust the authorities not to oppress people" into "I want Nazis to have an easier time recruiting." Which, again, I don't!

      Neither do I view the genuine white supremacists (e.g. Daily Stormer types, not Sam Harris or whoever is the target du jour) as an ally in free speech conflicts. They don't give a shit about the principles or about freedom for everyone. Nazis gonna Nazi

      I do tend more toward Quinn Norton's view on hateful extremists — cutting them off entirely from the normal world probably isn't helpful https://twitter.com/quinnnorton/status/963594111801491456 …

      Anyway. I know people who are smeared way worse than I was yesterday, a couple of them on a daily basis by hundreds or maybe thousands of people. Thank god I don't attract that kind of attention.

      But it still stings. It stung when people trashed me in the past, and it'll sting when it happens again. That's inevitable. Because I'm opinionated in public, and I don't plan to stop being opinionated in public

      I worry that people I've never met will see a tweet like the one that sparked this thread, then write me off without knowing that it's inaccurate. That's a sad and scary thought

      By the way, huge thanks to my friends who defended me. When I finally saw the tweet (I have this person blocked so it had to be pointed out to me) there were a bunch of @eigenordinary-style replies. It made seeing the smear not feel as bad as it would have otherwise

      sorry you got caught up in the yesterday's shitstorm. fwiw I think you may have just been collateral damage in a psychic disturbance that worked its way through the hellsite. felt it pretty strongly even without looking for it.https://twitter.com/danlistensto/status/1009810268120109056 …

          I managed to get caught in a crosswind yesterday too. Got my first ever nasty troll tweeting abusive shit at me for no apparent reason. Something went down. Not entirely sure what precipitated it, but the whole damn thing just boiled over.

          but that was just laughable. not a person I had any past relationship with. sorry to hear bout your former friends. that really sucks. I wish I knew a way to like, deprogram people who get sucked up into ideology cults.

          ok, going a little far out now: was it a psyop? did some agency pull the trigger on a memetic weapon yesterday? I think it could be done actually.

          I have no evidence about yesterday specifically, but observing the trollbots on here over the past few years — they used to be laughably transparent. To assume that this technology has not been progressing would be a mistake.

          yeah that's what I'm wondering about. if you wanted to drop a "drama bomb" how would you do it? find something sensitive, then in a coordinated fashion to enrage multiple factions with deep animus and put them at each others throats all at once.

          if you did it right you could get amplification effects from setting off a critical threshold of, uh, personality-disordered tweeters. it would cascade through the whole social graph sending waves of discord and bad-feels around the globe in minutes.

          so otherwise mostly sane people who might just be feeling irritable or edgy for whatever reason would get triggered and start tweeting dumb shit at people that they would otherwise have just ignored or left alone. positive feedback loop (of negativity/irritation) achieved.

          not that it couldn't just happen organically but I'm kind of a recreational paranoiac so I feel like, no, it wasn't organic yesterday, felt provoked.
