The Intellectual Dark Web

In the last few years, there has been a small but growing movement to counter the ideas and activities of feminists ("Me Too") and anti-racists ("Black Lives Matter"). It has coalesced under the loose umbrella of the Intellectual Dark Web (IDW). The "unofficial" Digest of the IDW is an on-line magazine called Quillette.

An inquiry of "Quillette" on the fact check website Media Bias Fact Check revealed the following:
  • It is a "Questionable Source" based on the promotion of racial pseudoscience and the use of poor sources.
  • A questionable source exhibits one or more of the following: extreme bias, consistent promotion of propaganda/conspiracies, poor or no sourcing to credible information, a complete lack of transparency, and/or is fake news. Fake News is the deliberate attempt to publish hoaxes and/or disinformation for the purpose of profit or influence. Sources listed in the Questionable Category may be very untrustworthy and should be fact checked on a per article basis.
