      There is truly nothing stupider than Twitter moralizers and tough-guys proclaiming that I am somehow personally responsible for stuff my "followers" allegedly tweeted. I've been dealing with this insane charge since 2016. If you espouse this view, you are very likely brain-dead

      I had to address this nonsense beginning in November 2016 and it's never gone away. There is no sleazier criticism. It's invoked by morons when they can't address arguments or facts on the substance.

          This ‘branding by (very weak link) association’ strategy is also used with some success to tar political factions or individuals running for office. It works because there are too many, as you describe, brain dead potential voters.

          I am sure that I would fall into the category of being a follower that tweets things you or some of your followers would not personally agree with. That being said I follow you and support you on Patreon because of your honest journalism.

          From the beginning of Social Networking this has frightened me. It kept me off Twitter all this time, a mistake, I know, using FB is like entering a gladiatorial ring and only the winner gets to see what he wants. I guess it's that thing that makes people think one should even...

          This tactic is common among socially liberal neocon war-hawk pro regime change “anti-fascists” like @j_fassler and @shane_bauer who read or work for Mother Jones and are basically conservatives who call people Assadists and often put quotes around their names like this ((( ))).

          you can control who follows you on twitter. directly, you can block obvious nazis. indirectly, lots of nazis will stop liking you if you stop arguing they shouldnt be banned and stop saying white supremacy is an overblown problem.

          In other words stop telling the truth and starting pushing the narrative so you can feel better.

          Stupid argument from stupid people. I follow people I don't agree with, and some I only sometimes agree with (I.e. Michael Tracy). Echo chambers are unhealthy.

          be responsible for the thoughts and ideas of one's children. Or you can think of the critics like a microscopic wart on your elbow... It's there, you don't notice, it doesn't really bother you, it's irrelevant but you keep an eye on it for cancer.

          Oh, cut it out. No, you can’t control who follows you, but you CAN make it clear that they aren’t welcome. If you think Trump should have strongly disavowed the white supremacists backing him, you have NO room to talk here. Tell these clowns off or just own what you’re doing.
