A tweet by James Lindsay, darling of the Intellectual Dark Web and a neo-Nazi |
I first mentioned his extremism back in 2019. I mentioned him a few times since then, the most prominent was when he came for me, which gave a nice little boost to this blog, and a good chance to talk about his insane "your mom" hypocrisy.
(His partner in grift, Peter Boghossian, also came for me.)
So I'm not surprised Lindsay rode the right-wing extremist grifter gravy train to its logical conclusion: anti-Semitism, as reported in The Daily Beast.
I mean, he was already teaming up with Richard Spencer in 2020.
Finally, Twitter gave him the boot for hateful conduct.
But this blog could not call itself Pinkerite with any self-respect without spending a moment to mention how much Steven Pinker loved and supported James Lindsay. Along with Andrew Sullivan and Jerry Coyne.
Ending, one hopes, at least by the time Lindsay went full neo-Nazi.
