I remember when LW at least tried to prevent this by doing the ‘epistemic status’ thing (which was a bit silly as it depended on the honesty of the author but at least they tried, and I am annoyed they gave up on that).
Edit: I was looking up a source for what you said (and discovered Miller has deleted his twitter) and came across this: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpk3gZqLkQ1/ “Ever wondered what it’s like to be pro-life and in the medical sphere? Look no further and join Alexandra as she speaks to the UK’s most prolife-ic (see what we did there) doctor against abortion, Calum Miller.” yeah really something he should have disclosed.
Edit 2: lol ow god he didn’t delete his twitter he actually renamed it from cdoggmiller to DrCalumMiller but forgot to update his own blog. ‘cdogg’ ow god. He is also a pretty vocal anti leftwinger (at least in his student days). Edit 3 No wait, he still is
@Soyweiser He’s also oddly reluctant to disclose in his polemic that his ongoing association with Oxford is as a research fellow at the tiny Blackfriars Hall, which is a combination Dominican friary and heavily Catholic college. Not wholly out of the question that the post is funded by, you know, “a group of concerned individuals”.
Tradcathery has the fascist hallmark of being an obviously modern/modernist ideology that claims to be an ancient religious tradition. Tradcathery as we know it today is very online. EA is also very online, and increasingly sour about social liberalism. Match made in hell.

Tradcaths gonna tradcath, but it’s interesting he feels he can reach the EA audience with his views.
