    Followed one of the links which game me a very “is yud ok?” Feeling : https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/PCfaLLtuxes6Jk4S2/fighting-a-rearguard-action-against-the-truth

    (Talking about the way it is written not the actual content, which seems to be ‘looks like I was wrong, need to rethink some things and check my assumptions’ but using thousands of words that make it sound like is having some weird mental episode).

    E:

    One is Zack Davis documenting endorsement of anti-epistemology … [Links to articles removed] … to placate trans ideology even many important transgender Rationality community members overtly reject

    Euh ok. Always good when people bring up ‘trans ideology’.

      I wish I’d stored the link somewhere but some years back I hit one of those Twitter Expositionary Threads about (one of?) the roots of this shit, the read focusing on “the nation question” (and then breaking it out both in historical context, and the various ways it got latterly repurposed by ghouls)

      and every single fucking time I see some fucker post about “the $x ideology”, I flash back to the that thread, and the knowledge gained from it
