   @neonsnake well he was apparently very active on social media and people have been looking at his old posts

   from what I can tell his politics are all over the place but it is unfortunately pretty common for someone fairly left wing to have picked up a lot of shitty right wing views

     I tried to figure out what "grey tribe" meant after William Gillis mentioned it, began reading an unrelated but self-recommended article on Slate Star Codex, and I have never been so bored in my life. Read, scroll, read, scroll, scroll, leave the page not through conscious decision but by some kind of lizard brain reflex.

     My browser history says it was this:

     https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/09/30/i-can-tolerate-anything-except-the-outgroup/

     I picked it because I thought it would say something about opposition to deplatforming. The top is tl/dr "it's not a big deal to virtue signal toleration of people who you already tolerate." Please don't ask me to read more.

     @hakan_geijer @richpuchalsky @waitworry @neonsnake also the main guy behind that blog who had been 'steelmanning' race science for years turns out to be really into race science.

     I feel like in the US there is a group of people who sometimes write for C4SS who are the only anarchists or anarchist adjacents who can bear to keep up with what's going on in the American "libertarian" scene. I sometimes joke with @KevinCarson1 that his denunciations of articles in it make him the last person who actually reads _Reason_.

     @hakan_geijer @KevinCarson1 @waitworry

     I'd be curious as well.

     The "Gray Tribe" thing is *relatively* new to me, in as much as I recognise the term, but have never had the inclination to look much further into it.

     I *think* I get it - looks very much like that guy from EFF (? I've blanked on his name) that went off the rails about how "wokeness" is ruining tech and the "important conversations around it", but that impression is based more on vibes than anything solid, right now.

     @hakan_geijer @waitworry @neonsnake It's a little outside my wheel house, but that kind of eclecticism is definitely a techbro thing
