On clown attacks, it’s notable that activist egregores conduct them autonomically, by simply dunking on whoever they find easiest to dunk on, the dveshi hoists the worst representatives of ideas ahead of the good ones.
I absolutely agree! Part of what makes clown attacks so powerful is the plausible deniability; most clowns are not attacks. As a result, attackers have plenty of degrees of freedom to try things until something works, so much so that they can even automate that process with multi-armed bandit algorithms, because there’s basically no risk of getting caught.
