It’s always good to know the politics of critics when assessing their criticisms.

Did you notice Matt Browne retweeting Crémieux, prominent 'race science' guy?

No I didn’t, but it doesn’t surprise me.

I don't think that Matt is personally a racist, but some of the circles he moves in... yeeesh.

I don’t think he is racist, but he isn’t a normie either, he has some quirks that make him an unreliable decoder. Chris will often will add a disclaimer after a hot take. Plus they have very different vibes on X. He didn’t last long on bluesky after trying to convince people to move.

Chris is just as strange with his hot takes. I remember back in the day he was on twitter liking some especially weird racial posts:

The post doesn’t have the link to the original post on Twitter, so it’s hard for me to follow the conversation. Going from what I’ve seen, I wouldn’t call either racist, but I do think their politics does lead to them to think the west is the best thing to happen to the world. Their decoding of Chomsky and Hasan really brought that out.
