RIP to the #Heritage #Foundation, which functionally died this week,
as its most prominent staffers made a beeline for the exit.The Suspect: President Trump and his posse of online shitposters.
The weapon: Antisemitism.
The room: Phoenix Convention Center.
Having offered up their not-inconsiderable reputations and intellectual firepower,
these once-respected thinkers realized too late that they were never steering the ship.The goal was always a personalist regime that wrecked the economy for the benefit of a few oligarchs.
#Antisemitism is at the center of the Republican project.
From decrying “globalists” and #George #Soros, to embracing the “real” Jews in Israel,
the GOP is inextricably entwined with #Christian #nationalism.In polite company, the party manages to keep this antisemitism as subtext.
They openly attack other minorities, particularly trans people and Muslims;
But Jew-hatred is expressed as rage at “#elites” or ancient blood libel repackaged for the modern era, such as Pizzagate and Qanon.
“Trolling the libs” necessitates saying the unsayable.
And Trump, who won by embracing the most online people on earth,
is constantly playing footsie with the fringe figures who endorse him.That’s how he wound up hosting #Kanye #West and #Nick #Fuentes at Mar-a-Lago in 2022,
both avowed antisemites and #Holocaust #deniers.But bringing trolls inside the tent means the GOP can’t plausibly deny that they’re central to the project.
Republicans can’t very well maintain a veneer of separation from bomb throwers like #Alex #Jones, #Candace #Owens, and #Laura #Loomer
when they’re being boosted by the president himself.And so the “normie” Gippers steadfastly assure themselves that they are the real GOP — the signal, not the noise.

He's re-admitting 8,000 military staffers who were fired for refusing the COVID vaccine. They're talking of removing training about women bombers during WWII, bc DEI=bad. The stupid here is deep.

Good look at a bad problem. The author is a friend from grad schol at the #University of #Colorado, where she was a faculty member when I was a grad student. She’s since gone on to bigger and better things, and I’ve gone on to … well, things.
Anyway. I’ve never been particularly worried about #Cylons, #Skynet, etc. Humans doing stupid human tricks, and using #AI to do them much faster, OTOH, yeah.
The internet community of anti-science #cranks is an example of #model #collapse happening at human speed. #Antivaxers, #creationists, #climate change #deniers et al. prey on people with legitimate questions about some particular aspect of the broad #consensus. Those people often go down an increasingly loony rabbit hole, and end up propagating the absurdity, sometimes adding their own bizarre spin which their new-found colleagues happily add to the ideology.
If this becomes part of the #academic ecosystem, with AI reviewers approving AI-generated #papers and no human checks on the process, the scholarly corpus will become hopelessly contaminated. I have no idea what to do about that.

First case of its kind, they're implying. Climate scientist took climate deniers to court & won. One guy must pay $1K, the other $1M! for falsely attacking his work.

Does anybody know any #outlets or #editors interested in how merchants of #doubt sow derail public conversation on #scientific topics?
Talking more broadly about communication tactics from #antivaxxers to 9/11 #truthers, from #climate #contrarians to AIDS #deniers, every parallel universe comes with its little niche #rituals, #idiosyncratic #fallacies, and historical #trajectory. What they share is their #sabotage of public scientific #discourse.
Feel free to suggest somebody or DM me 😅

CW: Twitter, misinformation
This is exactly why it's best not to debate (etc.) pseudo-science quacks and cranks – #anti-#vaccine, #climate #deniers, #creationists, etc.
Their ability to make money (and continue to spread and profit from misinformation) relies on engagement with #scientists and other #scholars.
Instead spread #truth, use real #data from real experts, and amplify others who are doing the same.
Toot/Tweet/speak about #positive #solutions while being #honest about #reality.

Don't get complacent, folks.⚠️
Yes, fatigue feels like a mountain on our backs as the #COVID19 #pandemic drags on, but it's also a lever used by #minimizers and #antivaxxers.
It's the same with the #ClimateCrisis: #deniers are relentless in their attacks on the #science of manmade #ClimateChange.
Don't let the loud doubts of a few strain your commitment to a #BetterFuture, friends.🤔
#WearAmask, call out #disinformation / #misinformation and take #ClimateAction.
We can do it, together!💚
