      What the fuck is happening with Nathan Robinson and Current Affairs? This is all he has to say about a 28-year-old data scientist losing his job over Twitter bullshit? This is the leftist position? A lot of people are seriously exposing themselves as cowards at the moment.pic.twitter.com/NyX4FsQmz0

      it’s not complicated. if you read a paper and can quickly see how its finding accelerates the project of full socialism, it’s Good Research. otherwise, we’d all better think twice about tweeting it if we like our jobs.

      Really striking how cavalierly an extraordinary painstaking paper in the top political science journal by a black scholar is dismissed as "bad research" because that line happens to gel with the propagandistic need to downplay the insanity of someone getting arbitrarily fired.

      ARE YOU KIDDING? Did you just compare Omar's painstaking, nuanced and very worthwhile research which did not do any of the things you said, like "blaming inner-city rioters", to The Bell Curve? Please get a grip and read the actual paper.

      It's an excellent paper on the mediating role of elite opinion and media, and how it pertains to the interaction between the movement, riots and repression. Your paragraphs below has no relationship to what the paper is about or it says! Quoting Martin Luther King to boot? 🙄pic.twitter.com/dksYe1VMfr

      Nathan: Have you had a chance to actually read @owasow's paper? Past time to correct your egregious mischaracterization of excellent research (by a black scholar, too!) Maybe also apologize for comparing him to Charles Murray (!!) and erroneously marshal MLK (!!!) in the process?

      "Further, scholarly debates continue over how race and genetics determine intelligence, health, and other major life outcomes (Devlin 1997, Duster 2005, Hernstein & Murray 1994)." Quoted from Sen & Wasow (2016), retrieved from http://www.omarwasow.com/wasow_sen_2016_annurev.pdf …

      Any more pathetic trolling today from papers you haven't read? You lot have too much time on your hands but not enough of anything else.

      You found the comparison to Murray egregious; I noted that Sen & Wasow (2016) cites Murray as one aspect of a "scholarly debate" on race. Do you find the concept of Murray as a scholar on race egregious as well, or was there something else you meant?

      Seriously, that's all you got? A careful and important review of a very complicated question in a lengthy paper cited Murray as someone who has had a major impact on how the society discusses race? That's it? This.. is not even rising up to pathetic.

          Nathan's comparison to Murray was egregious and wrong because no Murray-like defense was offered, but yours is .. sad. It's also interesting that this is the kind of defenses Nathan is getting. I'd be embarrassed and ask my supporters to dial it up to pathetic, at least. Cheers.

          I'm sorry I'm not properly entertaining you this #Juneteenth. I found it odd that an article on 1960--1972 protests didn't include the word "Vietnam," and also found it odd that comparing Murray to someone who cites him was an offense. You've insulted me twice.

          That article is not about all protests in that era (try reading). Citing people who have had an impact on society is what scholars do. Who on earth mistakes citing for endorsement? Next up, everyone who mentions Hitler is a Nazi? Seriously, I'm embarrassed for Nathan here. Bye.
