(I have a somewhat high credence that you are trolling, but I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt.) For example, I recall that you believe something like the replacement conspiracy.
I’m not trolling. I’m actually curious why you think it’s ‘very risky’ for me to promote EA more actively given my centrist heterodox libertarian political views, as opposed to whatever political views other EAs might have? Or are EAs only permitted to have soft-Left political views?
I think it would be straightforwardly bad if EA got associated with something like the replacement conspiracy. (Do you agree?)

Of course not. I did not suggest this. But it is clearly more important for EA to stay clear of associations with far-right conspiracy theories than for you to express every controversial thing you believe.
This seems a case where there are deep partisan disagreements about what counts as a ‘conspiracy theory’.
When people on the Left say that ‘America has shifting racial demographics such that the previous majority group is losing power and influence relative to other groups’, mainstream media considers that a good thing and celebrates it as progress. When people on the Right say exactly the same thing, based on exactly the same data, mainstream media calls that ‘the Replacement Conspiracy’. The double standard is striking.
As it happens, I’ve written and tweeted very little about demographic shifts in the US, relative to other issues, so I’m surprised that you think this is something people would associate with me.

Sure, might be the case, idk. I’m not saying something about the object-level. It’s still bad if half of the US associates EA with the far-right. Seems like you are shoulding at the world.

Not saying that; it was just a thing I remembered you tweeting. (I stopped following you one-two years ago, I think.)
