      Literally every time I hear the words "peaceful protesters" now, I assume it's a lie. This isn't correct or good.

      He thinks he’s an academic. That’s the cutest part of the whole thing - he thinks *he is defending academia* from an assault of wokeness. Actual academics see his work like 👀...🤣 He needs to read Cervantes.

      But on a more serious note we must be careful not to be dismissive of such buffoons because their trolling does create real harm. And he is a self-admitted, “performance art” troll who is a bad actor and a liar, and racist. He uses the well worn white supremacist/anglin method.

      Replying to @MarkHoofnagle @gorskon

      He has a filliwing of thousands of trolls that he routinely sets on POC, transgendered folks, generally anyone he doesn’t like and perceives as weaker. He’s a real monster, and always falls back, when cornered, on the Anglin “haha its a joke you have no sense of humor” tact.

      Do you think he fools himself?So many people, smart progressive people, believe this narrative instinctively. The ridiculous wokescold PC left and how they make smart academic PMCs look foolish by association. The racist grifters exploit that sentiment because it’s already there.

      No, Kareem Carr had a thread going into it looking at videos of interviews where he describes what he's doing. He basically describes trolling for lulz, or "performance art" which just happens to always target women, POC, LGBTQ designed to create anger and poison the convo.

      But that is the whole point, to make woke a pejorative. To laugh at empathy. Make being good a joke. It's all in Anglins playbook.https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2017/12/the-making-of-an-american-nazi/544119/ …

      Yep. And anyone who uses a term like “ridiculous wokescold PC left” has fallen for that ploy or is complicit in it.

          Sarah is not, if that's what you're worried about.

          I haven't, but SO SO many have. One faction or the other of the left is disgusting to them for aesthetic reasons. And since we value cool above all, the right exploits it.
