Heroes in the fight against something something something
Richard Dawkins is promoting far right, white nationalist, Christian crank conferences now. That’s what’s happening. https://twitter.com/RichardDawkins/status/1178170072537264129
Also, Helen Pluckrose and her gang of bold warriors for intellectual truth are *speaking* at far-right, white nationalist crank conferences, in case any one still doubted the quality of their work and the rigour of their research.
The tweet is gone but
Pretentious postmodern nonsense is a serious menace in universities & contemporary culture. Peter Boghossian, James Lindsay & Helen Pluckrose are heroes in the fight against it. Hear them at the London conference on “Speaking Truth to Social Justice.”
They are thought leaders! Thought leaders of the finest kind!

From what I can tell by perusing their site, Sovereign Nations isn’t a white nationalist group. Crazy, conservative Christian? Quite obviously. But white nationalist? Not seeing that with a brief skim of their articles and videos.
This looks like the sort of lumping typical of ideological groups. If you’re not with us, you’re the same as all those against us. It’s easy to see it when the religious do it, when they lump atheists with the regimes of Stalin and Mao. It’s easy to see it when the TRAs do it, when they put actual feminists in the same box as people who desire that physical harm be done to trans people. Or when near-verbatim criticism was launched at those who participated in the Heritage Foundation’s panel on gender identity.
