Trump tells reporters to “be quite” and “stop talking” all the time. He knows how to express disagreement and displeasure. He did no such thing last night, and this faux-disagreement now is just meant to forge implausible deniability. He has to be condemned loudly and removed.https://twitter.com/peterbakernyt/status/1151897633151000576 …

I’m sorry to keep putting this shit in peoples feeds. And I know it provokes unfollows. But seriously, there is no dignity it remaining silent, there is only delusional rationalizations and complicity.https://twitter.com/generativist/status/1151689603687931904?s=21 …

I'm sympathetic to the "don't amplify" arguments -- I've made them often! The ecosystem *is* fucked. But reporting on the threat isn't the exploit,
@GOP's indifference and celebration of cruelty is. Being quite now isn't a solution. Be vocal and clear.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likesShow this thread -
Here is where my arguments were either wrong then (Nov 2016) or are just inapplicable to now. https://dispatches.artifexdeus.com/donald-trump-is-hari-seldon-75bd789637d9 …pic.twitter.com/LFRx3K3Llb

Replying to @ThePrafulMathur
Well, I guess that's an over-statement -- they still are applicable. But it's almost impossible to attenuate -- he's escalating his rhetoric making it ever more vivid and salient. So it's either forge a consensus around "this is fine" or "the President is beyond contempt."

(Although it may be a good thing for us to talk about, because the thing I'd really like to build is a computational immune system to help prevent what I wrote about then -- stereotype driven cognition that leads to a collapse. Just not sure it's useful against the POTUS.)
