Depending on what you mean by bashing the trans movement, almost half the coworkers and neighbors I know talk about US backed bio warfare labs and how Putin was justified in his attack, how the vaccines sterilized Taiwan, and the election was stolen. They also typically say something like "I don't care what adults get up to, but letting kids make permanent body modifications before they can drive is wrong" I can't cancel almost half the people I know outside my friend circle. Some of them are family. These people span working class to PHDs in hard science from top tier schools, and backgrounds of midwest evangelical Christian to fertile crescent Muslims to west coast atheists, and I don't have a theory about what line of thought they all followed to get where they are. I try to have calm conversations with them when I can, but there is always some anxiety there, I suspect they don't talk about that stuff unless they think people are like them, and when they realize I have a multidimensional political spectrum they get nervous. At least at work I try to engage with them only on the merits of their work. I think we can do that with creator's like this, but I also don't want my money funding hate groups, so there is a line. I suspect in progressive environments people with these viewpoints are pretty quiet. I've bumped into them in fairly progressive cities as uber drivers or ML researchers. The "silent majority" is no longer a majority, but they aren't just a handful either, and their views have shifted.

Having had a look at his twitter, i rate this situation 220 milliurbits.

And how does that change anything else he says?

It doesn't. Thats also not how "literally" works either. Your commentary surely tells the reader to use caution, but not how you think it does.

> Tabloid papers have been on the front page here. I wouldn’t it hold it in such high honors.

Who said anything about honor. Its attention which gets things changed or noticed or something otherwise. These one-dimensional, judgey comments are forgettable.

He worries plenty about the latest and not-so-latest manufactured crises, as it's all he tweets about nowadays, is my point.
