fyi, I weakly downvoted this because (i) you seem like youāre trying to pick a fight and I donāt think itās productive; there are familiar social ratcheting effects that incentivize exaggerated rhetoric on race and gender online, and I donāt think we should encourage that. (There was nothing in my comment that invited this response.) (ii) I think youāre misrepresenting Trace. (iii) The āexpand your moral circleā comment implies, falsely, that the only reason one could have for tolerating someone with bad views is that you donāt care about those harmed by their bad views.
I did not mean the reference to Trace to function as a conversation opener. (Quite the opposite!) Iāve now edited my original comment to clarify the relevant portion of the tweet. But if anyone wants to disagree with Trace, maybe start a new thread for that rather than replying to me. Thanks!

Now I wonder if youāre actually familiar with Hananiaās white supremacist views? (See here, for example.)
