Steven Pinker, it has been well established, is a fan of race pseudo-science, but is a weasel about it.
But Pinker's fans, many of whom are Trump supporters, know exactly what Pinker and his gang like Quillette, the IDW and many of the signers of the Harper's Letter really stand for. And it isn't a pure, disinterested love of open and honest discourse.
The honesty expressed in the tweet from Left Abandoned was as refreshing as the bigotry was extreme.
Number one on the list is of course race science.
This is who Pinker's fans are - because that is who Pinker is.
The goal of Pinker and his friends is to establish race science, anti-Muslim bigotry, anti-trans bigotry and misogyny as "moderate" ideas.
