    You’re right, they go out there and meet incels and fascists and try to dress the portrait of the “misunderstood kid”, meanwhile we get reduced to a congealed mass that exists solely on the computer screen (but is somehow still very dangerous)

      I can’t say it would be a good use of your time (arguably, it would be actively detrimental to us all) but you probably could get a response if you reached out to the people who did this paper, if you were interested.

        We should instead publish our own response paper accusing them of being tankies. That’s a thing academics do, right? Like diss tracks?

          Yeah, a “Poverty of Philosophy” type beat, except they have given us so little to work with that it would be difficult to make anything substantial.
