The "thought experiment" peddling right-wing fuckers are annoying internet provocateurs, yes; but they're employing a calculated strategy to legitimize and spread their ideology like an Aldi-Brand Goebbels. By cloaking their prejudices in the language of intellectual inquiry, they've found a way to make bigotry palatable, painting their backwards balderdash and blather as sociology. https://joanwestenberg.com/how-the-thought-experiment-became-the-royal-flush-of-intellectual-bullshit

Love it. I've recently been "thought experimented" indirectly via one psycho MAGA family member questioning the not-as-radicalized MAGA-lite family member over coffee. Was sickening. Thanks for calling this what it is. 10000 $DEGEN

Thanks for writing and sharing. Well written, helpful examples, and clear CTA 💪 Language is ever-evolving, seemingly faster now than at most points in history, but your article highlights the importance of labeling things correctly. It’s a powerful tool to combat the intellectual dishonesty that runs rampant on the internet today (particularly amongst the far right) 20 $degen
