you know what I regret? saying that James Damore shouldn't have gone on Molyneux's podcast, that it was a tactical error in terms of optics
it wouldn't have made the slightest difference if he'd opted for respectability — in fact, he did, and look where it got him

you guilt-by-association motherfuckers are recruiting for Spandrel, and meanwhile forcing me to agree with Vox Day of all goddam people (yes, I realize the irony of this statement)
people in SSC comments and various similar venues are fisking whether Steve Hsu "should have known" that Molyneux is one of those scary alt-right types
1) doesn't matter, none of the accusers give a fuck about precision
2) it also SHOULDN'T matter https://twitter.com/sonyasupposedly/status/1218995787738140672

Steve Hsu is merely the latest bellwether. more and more of the League of High-Openness is realizing that "liberals get the bullet too" was sincere, where "bullet" = "any accessible means of dealing damage." And don't be so naive as to think that real bullets would never qualify
you know, while I'm dealing out mea culpas, I owe one to the IDW too — I may be too much of a metacontrarian to vibe with Quillette et al, I basically don't agree with the project of "respectability but defined by us this time." Yet no less do I respect the fucking hustle
lastly? thezoepost was an abuse victim's testimony to emotional torture, and it's perfectly illustrative of actual rape culture that the person w/ more social capital not only came out on top but 10x'd status. Nobody deserves harassment yet narcissists are notorious opportunists
