I don’t really think he knows this site’s culture at all. No one is dissuading people from reading theory lol

      Thanks for clarifying you think anyone questioning the behavior of anonymous twitter accounts should be removed from the discussion.

          That really shook you to be confronted with the suspicion you’re the same guy, after you swiftly tracked down criticism of him on a popular post?

          Anyways, it would be cool if Roderic Day actually showed up on Hexbear himself, like you said (you sure like talking about him a lot [EDIT: this is referencing your post earlier, not sure why you replied after this as if I didn’t see it]), instead of hiding behind alt accounts. It would be cool if he spent time reading instead of playing with dolls.

          Then his criticism would be more interesting to read, instead of being a tirade of bitterness and excuses not to read an author based on sections of the introduction to one of his vlogs.

              it’s a good thing you clarified that you think it’s ridiculous I would claim that, otherwise I might’ve mentioned how you haven’t posted on the site for almost a week and came back to enthusiastically discuss this man defend his name and promote his website.

              You’re right, nobody would ever make alt accounts on Lemmy. I probably have some kind of emotional problem.

            Your comments in this thread are bewildering, to say the least. The fact you respond to someone questioning your critique with “you must be roderic on an alt account” is laughably stupid. If you were lambasting The Shining and someone questioned your argument, would you immediately assume it was Stanley Kubrick on an alt account? More importantly, your unsupported accusation that his trans friend is a “sockpuppet” is the same kind of reasoning that lemmy dorks apply when they say that all of our trans comrades on hexbear are simply faking it. Terrible post, do better comrade.

            It’s probably more worth my time to take a leaf out of Roderic’s book and not post on here but the idea that he coordinates a network of alts being a more reasonable explanation to you than that he has friends is just too ridiculous. Here’s some contrary evidence for you to grapple with:

            You can listen to a podcast I’ve done here: https://directory.libsyn.com/episode/index/show/8d546709-2b54-498a-a29d-a0bde330a940/id/27767583

            You can also watch Roderic on a panel about Losurdo and his book in Stalin here: https://twitter.com/RodericDay/status/1724514720374301034?s=19

            Do you really think we are the same person?
