Listening to the (very enjoyable) @farnamstreet interview on @SamHarrisOrg's podcast has me thinking about the crazy overhead we implicitly put on people when we expect them to not retweet/link to bad actors & feel justified in piling on when they do, even inadvertently
Further complicated by the fact that even *I* have been accused of being a "fascist" or a "fascist sympathizer," and if someone outside of my particular political bubble retweets one of my stupid dating jokes I don't think they should have to get embroiled in that silliness
That seems like a justifiable overhead. A little bit of work can help with not spreading bad ideas. Especially if the person has a large platform.
The point is that sometimes bad actors have *good ideas,* aaaaand the extent to which they're broadly not known as bad actors (and thus retweeted) is probably at least a weak proxy for the extent to which they may be unfairly maligned
People hold their enemies to that standard, but make excuses for their tribe. Someone from your tribe makes a mistake? That's just a mistake anyone could make. Someone outside of your tribe makes a mistake? That's just a sign of their depravity.
It seems like there's a point-scoring mechanism too. If I can shame others for their mistake, I get social status. It's a reputational externality.
