According to SPA, the cause remains “proximally” an industry. The claim is that the death rate has hitherto disproportionately stricken whites which is consistent with SPA’s conception of white supremacy. https://mobile.twitter.com/thucydiplease/status/1309385628040085504 …

The overdose, in SPA’s account, is both the result and enactment of systemic privilege. SPA does not undertake a systemic account of mortality rates in its various racial tabulations in the literature. Instead, “excess death” and its causes are treated as comparable.

SPA “repeats” the experimental conjectures that were published and hotly debated just before the revival of mass BLM actions in the early spring just as lockdowns were executed without any congressional action to provide relief.

But SPA does not invoke the book that generates critiques nor acknowledge that SPA repeats procedures of one argument against the book’s findings which itself became viral and was hotly debated on twitter. Why is SPA being presented (again) now as the findings of @thucydiplease?

This is one of the primary pieces that @thucydiplease is simply rekindling but there were several simultaneous pieces published at around the same time.https://mobile.twitter.com/Salon/status/847130869127155712 …

Replying to @tiredie
Are you suggesting journalists at places like Salon coordinate narratives on some sort of email list? Sounds conspiratorial. You're not one of those gators are you

The “think pieces” were driven by the March publication of the book by Anne Case & Angus Deaton, expanding on & presenting in popularized form their previous scholarly publications.

Replying to @tiredie @jackfruitstaken
The take published by Salon had taken back off from one trend in the criticism of those papers predating the book’s publication. I can’t seem to find the hottest thread which generated at least a week of twitter flurry in March. Do you remember it?

I do not. I was probably stoned and I'm sure all the worst posts were from autodeleters
