I've really been souring on Doctorow recently, and this recent blog post by him is one reason why.

I've really been souring on Doctorow recently, and this recent blog post by him is one reason why. It's just one unfounded claim after another about the two cases, no sources or links, just alarmism around state overreach in two specific cases, for which he provides no evidence, only conjecture, and repeatedly blurs the line between what's known, and what's just his own wild speculation.
(The "precipitating incident" he refers to, by the way, was a recent exchange with Paris Marx on here. I thought Paris was correct then, and I haven't heard a good reason to change my mind!)

@[email protected] "We should root for human rights, so Brazil was wrong to force a fascist to comply with their laws" is not as airtight an argument as he seems to think it is.
