@primalpoly @TuckerCarlson What I object to are the pejorative stereotypes he spreads about ethnic minorities, not calling for special treatment for whites. The way he has talked about Mexicans, Iraqis, and Roma refugees in particular are abhorrent and indefensible. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@MonicaBaumann @mffwww @blueironmonk It isn't just that you've done a bad job of explaining it--I understand the explanation you're alluding to--it's that the actual way that most on the left end up using "whiteness" in practice contradicts the explanation you would offer — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@mffwww @MonicaBaumann @blueironmonk I'm all for ceasing to consider white a race--shout out to @thomaschattwill's excellent book--but I see much of the left as opposing that, not on board with it, unfortunately. — PolitiTweet.org

@MonicaBaumann @thatluckyolsun @blueironmonk Just one example that came up at the top of a Twitter search, can provide more later https://t.co/SD9XkBwAKY — PolitiTweet.org

@MonicaBaumann @blueironmonk I'd say "a whole political party" is a gross exaggeration, but there are in fact racially essentialist attacks on "whiteness" that one encounters regularly in left spaces and I understand why they alienate some people. I would ask those people to be consistent w/r/t the right. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
I have no problem objecting when race-essentialists on the left denigrate "whiteness" for the same reason I object when Tucker Carlson denigrates Roma refugees or Mexicans or Iraqis with pejorative stereotypes. If you object to the first why don't you object to the latter? — PolitiTweet.org

Carlson has repeatedly engaged in identity politics in deliberately incendiary ways. Here he is spreading pejorative stereotypes about a group of recently arrived refugees https://t.co/4FYJZ8J4yG I'm glad he has condemned violence. That doesn't excuse his other output. — PolitiTweet.org
Rudolph Troha ⚔️ @RudolphTroha
@conor64 Tucker has nothing to do with any of this. He's clearly and unequivocally condemned identity politics and political violence.

@n3ro Promoting a colorblind world once, after repeatedly spreading negative pejorative stereotypes about ethnic minority groups, doesn't cut it. I want the bigotry to stop. — PolitiTweet.org

@Positada Nothing I said changes regardless of who anyone supports for president. — PolitiTweet.org

To conservatives, I would say, I know white supremacy is sometimes used promiscuously these days. But look at how Tucker Carlson uses it https://t.co/QHjlD2vkY3 — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
Needlessly dividing on the basis of race or ethnicity is poison in a diverse, creedal nation like the U.S. The right sees this when it comes to e.g. Louis Farrakhan. It is time they see it when it comes to e.g. Tucker Carlson, regardless of whether he inspires violence or not. — PolitiTweet.org

@ijbailey As a totally viewpoint neutral statement I think *never go on cable news and talk about your kid* is sound advice — PolitiTweet.org

@baseballcrank @guypbenson @Tracinski If we get a WHPS who can't explain bullshit in a way that makes it seem true when it is actually bullshit that will be a good thing. — PolitiTweet.org

@flavorstraw @LitAnscombe @nameshiv No, it's pretty solidly in my favor, actually, and many of those comments are me trying to engage critics, albeit losing patience with them over time. Nice try though. https://t.co/YiB3wkZYM7 — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@LitAnscombe @flavorstraw @nameshiv If you read The Authoritarian Dynamic I am happy to discuss any critique of it you have. Until then, there's nothing constructive herem — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@LitAnscombe @flavorstraw @nameshiv Instead of contesting it, you police the language and work of others, mischaracterizing it as you go, shifting the goal posts constantly, and become no less confident even after your original confident claims were shown to be in error. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@LitAnscombe @flavorstraw @nameshiv No, I am saying I have a working theory of authoritarianism and how best to combat it that is grounded in solid, peer reviewed empirical research, and that, while of course it is open to challenge, *you don't know enough about it at present to challenge it.* — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@LitAnscombe @flavorstraw @nameshiv And here https://t.co/p3ZGjr46a4 Once you understand her work you can be a more effective ally against authoritarianism. Until then your misleading attacks on fellow anti authoritarians are doing more harm than good, despite your good intentions. — PolitiTweet.org

@LitAnscombe @flavorstraw @nameshiv Frum is not a reactionary. You are apparently ignorant of his work too — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@LitAnscombe @flavorstraw @nameshiv For my part, I'm done Googling to correct the many things you failed to inform yourself about that would stop you from mischaracterizing my work. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@LitAnscombe @flavorstraw @nameshiv I did not write that the concerns of xenophobes are legitimate. I wrote that concerns about authoritarian backlash that leads to the election of someone like Trump is legitimate, because it is legitimate. If you would like to understand that argument, read Karen Stenner. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@LitAnscombe @flavorstraw @nameshiv It would be great if you stopped making erroneous assumptions and misrepresenting my views and goalpost shifting instead of contritely admitting you were wrong. I have still given you a mere fraction of what I have written about this subject. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@LitAnscombe @flavorstraw @nameshiv I could go on but the point is made. An intellectually honest response would be to retract your former doubt. — PolitiTweet.org
