      They’re in a media ecosystem that just won’t talk about this stuff. FOX News and Drudge Report are going to run a thousand “Random Black Person Acts Scary!” headlines before you’ve had your coffee, then lead into the latest Musk scandal with “Very Jewish Very Not-Fascist ADL says Elon Actually Cool And Good”.

      This isn’t a question of self-reflection nearly so much as it is an accumulation of priors from outside sources.

      The problem isn’t that they don’t know they’re evil, it’s that they fucking love it.
