Eric Weinstein: "Before 2011, outfits like @npr were left leaning news services. About 10yrs ago that changed." (threadreaderapp.com)

“The left was more willing to have a conversation a decade ago” is just gaslighting. No one was willing to talk about why we were spending more time and resources on AIDS than genetic diseases 40 years ago, let alone 10. Thomas Sowell was completely unpersoned by television networks after he proved there was no female wage disparity in the 80’s. Weinstein is just butthurt because his specific comfort zone was finally swallowed up by political correctness.

Leftists have been living in bubbles for so long that they come out swinging with hard hitting twists that everyone else knew as truth decades prior.

Gamergate was especially funny for this, as you got to watch milquetoast "one of the good ones" Leftists act suddenly appalled that their own kind would do such a thing, and that such horrors as cancelling and gaslighting would be even considered. Yet being remotely Right Wing as far back as the 90s was just asking to be mocked, bullied, and ostracized in any place that wasn't exclusively Red.

moderate liberal gamers in 2014: "You mean the media is corrupt?"

Those same liberals:

Woah man, these are just fringe extremists. Just ignore them and they'll go away, they just want attention. The rest of the Left is moderate and understanding.

They still do it every fucking time.
I ESPECIALLY love when they show up, say "I am also a troon/feminist/whatever, but look how non-pathetic and cool I am", but the moment the community doesn't just kiss their ass, they got batshit insane and bitchy.

The same happened on the small bird cultivation forum very recently.
Keffals the pedo's supposed ex showed up. Of course another disgusting troon. He kept talking about how Keffals is a great person deep down and he is sorry things ended this way, etc. Then he bitched when people were like "shut up, nobody cares, we won't simp for you".

WAAAAAY back some troon did the same on halfkia. He tried to be the UWU gurl. I distinctly remember because I was arguing with the bullshit he was trying to sneak in under the "cool nerdy girl, except with a dick now, you will like it if you try" bullshit, so then he got angry and deleted himself.

Was it that Meowstic person? My KIA lore is so rusty with age. But the entire history of KIA1 is littered with that kind of nonsense. Hat would snuggle up to every type of woke possible and then get offended when called on it. Same with mods posting things like "this ain't social justice nonsense, because its a good thing" or "poly is actually pretty based, its just the wackos ruining it."

And of course they'd fail to have the self awareness necessary to see how the "one of the good ones" mentalities is how they got tossed out of the Left wing to begin with, and let things get this bad, yet they'd keep simping for it. Desperate for any efame brought on by not looking like us Evil Righties (who never forget, they tried to ban all of us once).

I will always find it funny though that of all the people to show up, try to leverage the community and then get thrown the fuck out, god damned Destiny got nowhere despite having an actual legitimate gripe.

And yet, KIA1 was so obsessed with him that you couldn't go 4 minutes without another twitter post from him, or another article.

I hate that fucking cop out so much.

If they're really fringe extremists, you'll go out and publicly denounce them, right?

Oh wait, you don't want to do that? Why? You don't have time? Sure. You don't have time, since you're so busy with pride parade and all that.

But don't worry. They always had time to bash on actual fringe extremists on the Right like flat earthers, anti-evolutionists or the Westboro Church. They had enough time to have entire tv shows and mega documentaries made about those.

He makes a good point that always needs to be constantly and tiresomely repeated that cancelation is about severely restricting a person's access, influence, and perceived prestige, and not a literal vanishing of that person. Leftists love to gaslight about that. I'm sure they would love the literal vanishing (to the gulag) too if it actually happened. And only counter-establishment figures can be cancelled, as leftists have leftist privilege (and can't possibly understand.) But you are right about him complaining now simply because he is a target. If he was truly woken up by their behaviour, he would take a look back in history. That was what I did.

This asshole pretends the last 60 years of history didn't exist. Media has been heavily commie since the late 50s, probably earlier.

They just had to be more subtle about it until the country was driven insane and the inmates were able to take control over the asylum.

It's worth remembering that the armed forces were used to forcefully desegregate schools for the sake of "diversity" back in the 50's.

MLK's "peaceful" marches were not reported on honestly as well.

Obama's regime clearly made the media much worse by implanting federal agents into them, but that does not mean it was ever on the side of the people.

I noticed the truth of the MLK "peaceful" thing when John Lewis was repeating the same message in 2019 or 2020. He would talk big game about nonviolence while the blacks in the streets smashed anything they could get their hands on and beat people. I figured this was probably exactly what was happening in MLK's day.

The MLK mythology is such BS. His speech writer, advisor, and close friend was a literal Communist. LOL

Its also worth noting that in many "diverse" areas of the country, schools are still segregated anyway. Because we all learned pretty quick that we couldn't get along, and that segregation was the only way to avoid active violence and bloodshed. Just instead of putting it into law, school districts were drawn around the already segregated neighborhoods.

And I can tell you with experience that it wasn't those super racist whites who made it so unlivable that segregating back out was the only option.

Eric Weinstein really wore out his welcome to me. He really likes to talk about how smart he is, but doesn't bother to explain his intelligence to us plebs in words that our puny brains can understand.

A Joe Rogan several years ago kind of did it for me. He was talking about some properties of number systems that sounded really interesting ... but then never even attempted to explain it in a way that my meager education that stopped with multi-dimensional calculus could grasp. That and his (admittedly relatively mild at the time) case of TDS got kind of old.

Really? A (((weinstein))) wore out his welcome? Feynman was awesome, though.

Edit: by the way, number systems are really, really easy to understand. I've explained them to party chicks in loud bars.

Creating concepts about number is much harder because, of course, who would really care about doing that. There's a reason that the Greeks thought heavily about Geometry, which is a property of the natural world, but didn't think too much about Number, which is a massive abstraction.

It amazes me that there are people who need this explaining to them.

Once you express opinions that the left have decided are incompatible with whatever they want the official narrative to be, you are unpersoned, and usually with good reason, because things incompatible with the narrative tend to be simple to express and very easy to argue compared to the hocus pocus left wing assumptions.

They they use the fact that you dared speak to the only people who will speak to you as 'proof' that you are a 'nazi'.

Noam Chomsky said in an interview that the unvaccinated should "remove themselves from society", and when the interviewer asked what they would do about food replied "that's their problem".

Forget being unpersoned: they're ok with you starving to death. And they say this, openly.

If only removing one's self from society was an option. But as numerous guy's who attempted to go off grid can attest, the government will still demand the same tribute and surveillance.
