This New York Times opinion writer who claims to be an academic thinks you should abandon reason, because it will not protect you if you're exposed to bad ideas; the goofballs at sites like Stormfront are way smarter than you and your tiny brain will be overwhelmed by their masterful propaganda. So basically he thinks very highly of Stormfront and thinks everyone else is stupid. Weird flex. Would make more sense if I found out he secretly runs Stormfront. https://archive.is/iNDt6

Here's the thing, I knew instantly this was bait, because I'm not autistic. The author wasted no time gloating about how many stupid nerds took the bait; but what was the purpose of it in the first place, and what kinds of people would it actually fool? I can't think of any purpose other than to be a fucking asshole troll, and I imagine the most likely victims of this would be young people, and/or people who are actually on the spectrum. It's bullying, pure and simple. These bloggers are small, petty losers who contribute nothing of value to the world.
