I liked community accounts, which were created on a Spartacus principle: if you couldn't reliably disentangle poster identities, it would be irresponsible and therefore untenable to dox any individual poster. We had no way of knowing that 10 years in the future, a religious mania would grip all our cultural and media institutions and would make it irrelevant whether you actually said the Bad Thing. Standing in the vicinity of badthinkers, and failing to hysterically denounce them, would be enough to end you, too.

When the alt right called bluechecks lugenpresse cockroaches, I recoiled and disagreed. But in substantial measure, setting aside the Jew stuff, they turned out to be correct. With a dwindling # of exceptions, "journalists" exist to capriciously upend your life for slack reacts, retweets, and pats on the back from the likes of Karen Attiah. They think this makes them Woodward and Bernstein. It makes them parasites.

I still think the antisemitic angle is misguided. Many of the worst offenders are nonjews, and some of the few, feeble holdouts, like Singal, are jews.

If you think being respectful and decorous and nonracist will protect you, it won't. It didn't protect Scott Alexander. Ordinary people with ordinary jobs who dare to engage in speech that's critical of, or even departs from, bluecheck consensus are like ants and these journos are kids with a magnifying glass. Society would be better off without every single one of them.

When he was cancelled for "worse" remarks than the ones allegedly blank-bumped by whoever was logged into the CharlesXII account, he stood firm and refused to apologize. Looks like he isn't as courageous on behalf of his staffers.
