I posted a screenshot of the actual email because people don’t think I do what I do.
But I do.

Every time I get a recruiter contacting me with any role that is in office to any extent, I send a pissy email like this back:

Scott Alexander was accused of being secretly a right-wing racist and hiding it to avoid getting cancelled, and I think a bunch of his followers believed it, and now they're shocked and hurt that he's actually the sincere center left guy he said he was the whole time. https://t.co/xCPCSngagx

I had more than one person explain to me that Scott Alexander was actually a Nazi because…reasons. And they believed this, too. I’m not the biggest fan of his writing because it’s pretentious and overwrought, but claiming he is a Nazi is fucking ludicrous.
He’s mostly just a regular ol’ liberal in a sort of neo-Rooseveltian mold. Ain’t no swastikas there.
