Well, dude already believes that everyone here is incapable of reason, so I guess he's gotta figure out SOME motive. (Especially if he wants to avoid spending a minute considering his beliefs may be wrong.)

ate all the Oreos posted:Super Mar if you're still reading this we don't think Scott Alexander is NRX or hate him, he's just kinda... naive... I hate the guy, for some definition of hate. More to the point, I think lovely Scott belongs in this thread. Yeah, most of the time he stumbles around like Megan McArdle's evolved form, a fake centrist aiming poisonous arguments only leftward. When you add in the implications of his beliefs, though -- especially his thirst for high-IQ übermensch -- I think you get an NRx flavor of poo poo. He's like a horror movie where James Lileks gets a heart transplant, but it turns out the heart is from Josef Mengele. Anyway the DE is all just conservative fanfic. They're internet shitlords who take the 'lord' part literally and refuse to age out of it. They'd be moderate Republicans if they had more earning potential or could stand being among the plebs. They'd be libertarians if they weren't such fussy little bitches.

It is pretty funny to see him pull the "Don't demonize whole groups of human beings u_u" card after literal years of calling everyone to the left of him zombies or mindless puppets of (((memetic poisoning))) Hey Rev: I think the neo-nazis in Virginia are evil BECAUSE they're sapient human beings capable of reason. If they weren't, they'd just be rabid animals not deserving of moral condemnation.

I think he's trying to say that the left/anti-racist protesters/general media types are the ones trying to divide us with their hostility towards the I think. It's baffling.

What kind of paranoiac reads this thread and gets hate and rage out of it? Like ... 95% of the time it's more like "mildly amusing lovely alt-right quotes to read when you're bored at work." If St. Rev shows up often, it's only because he's a rich source of lovely opinions. Maybe get better opinions if you don't want to be mocked for them?

There is 0 difference between believing in p-zombies and claiming a given race is subhuman. It requires the same sort of purposeful doublethink. Rev is the sort of person who would love to be a concentration camp guard.

Oh, that part was more "Dead pretty white ladies make people incapable of thinking straight, therefore all the furor about a person being murdered at a protest isn't really about nazis murdering people, it's just people going berserk over a dead white lady because that's what they do. (Playing straight into the hands of the SJW illuminati's aforementioned plans to blow up free speech forever.)"

if you look at the thread, he's actually really angry over this: https://twitter.com/discordapp/status/897170310348263426 so the SJWs have been waiting for nazis to kill off a white woman (because rev thinks that white female victims have the most impact? it is true in a sense but here he's just trying to draw a bullshit equivalence between leftists and white supremacists) so that they can finally carry out their diabolical plan of kicking nazis off off discord. the attempt to draw parallels between white nationalist racist propaganda and leftist's bringing attention to one of the victims of far-right violence is pretty amazing though. it probably makes sense in that strange head of this, he's not above comparing people he doesn't like to nazis (especially if they're actually against nazis, which is a massive offense in his eyes).

Honestly, neonazis activated by the alt-right movement have been killing more minorities in targeted terror attacks for a while now. But this attacker committed the cardinal sin: killing a white person using free speech. So now the neonazis aren't just murderous assholes, they threaten "order".

wiki editors and talk pages are complete garbage and they've been for a long time. i remember when the talk page for the trayvon martin killing was a free-for-all for every racist idiot wanting to inject their own racist conspiracy theories into the article (any page now that has anything to do with BLM is the same). i think the only area where the racists were kicked out on wikipedia is R&I (race and intelligence) when the most prolific scientific racist editor (who just so happened to be a libertarian furry fan of the bell curve and racist hereditarianism in general) was blocked along with his girlfriend's account (which was basically a meatpuppet). or at least that's the one i have experience with.
