@emmarolyat You clearly don't understand that many of the people taking Ivermectin did so after being persuaded by data and research that has since been withdrawn or shown to be flawed, not because they spent months "refuting scientific data" — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@emmarolyat I can imagine it because I have had those conversations and they have gone differently — PolitiTweet.org

@egmercer @clairlemon I thought it was clear that it was for those subject to quarantine rules, which was mentioned twice, but a couple people have thought it might confuse some readers — PolitiTweet.org

@colehaddon Good to reconnect! And glad you're feeling good about where you are, though I'd ask, would you feel any less safe if your fellow Aussies were allowed to leave without seeking special dispensation? Or if the military hadn't been deployed in Sydney? — PolitiTweet.org

This writer professes to dislike libertarians, but from the rest of his email, it sounds like Australia could use a lot more libertarians! https://t.co/zygTMcPT4V — PolitiTweet.org

@emmarolyat Many are indeed willing to have good faith conversations. Have you actually interacted with any? — PolitiTweet.org

Long thread that makes the case for Covid Zero. But was a prohibition on leaving without permission or deploying the military justifiable and necessary? And was vaccine rollout too slow in part due to insufficient value placed on liberty? I think so. — PolitiTweet.org

@xtreme_cent @mattyglesias I wrote dozens more such articles when I was a young editor at Culture11, a right-leaning web magazine, and The American Scene, a right-leaning group blog. At the time, that did take some courage. I agree The Atlantic pieces don't but you were just saying they don't exist — PolitiTweet.org

@mattyglesias I assume that part is not directed at me, given that no one has a more longstanding or prolific record critiquing the Tucker Carlsons, Glenn Becks, and Rush Limbaughs of the world. — PolitiTweet.org

truly loved this book!! thank you @katrosenfield for one of the best twists I've read in years.

@Paul_Karp @TheAtlantic As I said in the piece, pandemic Australia is undeniably a democracy, but it isn't clear to me that it is a *liberal* democracy. Broad and deep support for a set of policies does not make those policies liberal. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@Paul_Karp @TheAtlantic I don't accept that certain restrictions--especially the prohibition on leaving the country--saved many lives. And I argued that the approach to vaccine acquisition and rollout itself undervalued liberty. — PolitiTweet.org

@egmercer And you say *very few restrictions.* But you can't leave the country without permission! — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@egmercer Yes, the piece twice mentions that it is for people subject to quarantine rules. What creeps people out, myself included, is the government combining facial recognition and geolocation and random texts to strictly monitor people's locations. Do you get why? — PolitiTweet.org

Essay assignment: assess the consequences of the fact that "a not-insubstantial portion of our population simply doesn’t automatically trust our institutions or its consensus." Include analysis of CRT, the IDW, the Iraq War, 9/11, anti-vaxxers, and Anthony Fauci's mask advice. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@cobra0483 Yeah, exactly, *this is a human drug that showed promise that didn't pan out based on trials x y and z* is *so much more persuasive* than *stop taking horsepaste MAGA idiot* — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
I don't know if it's juvenile point-scoring, or belief that ridicule is effective, or a failure to understand The Revolt of the Public, or believing in Manufacturing Consent, or what, but the case *against* relying on Ivermectin is *much stronger* than what Twitter offers up. — PolitiTweet.org

@mumbogumshoe @HenryTrenk @SirajAHashmi For me, it's all the measures combined that call Australia's status into question, and the app is most alarming for how it can be expanded in the future, not for the relatively narrow initial test. It seems to me like technology that's very prone to abuse, but YMMV. — PolitiTweet.org
