He later edited the post to add:
I wonder if I could even more Substack likes if I one-upped them with a theory that lockdowns never even happened, and it was just one of those Berenstein Bear or Mandela Effect things where everyone has a false memory.
So now it’s ironic, and therefore not harmful to spread the conspiracy theory to his large audience.
Help someone who’s out of the loop: who the fuck is Scott Alexander?
An overly wordy misogynistic racist, who seeks to covertly transmit ideas from neo-fascist and race realist groups such as the Occidental Review to his primarily ‘liberal’ audience, and a major leader within a techno-utopian/apocalyptic sex cult, which for some reason is actually influential within tech policy.
