Monitoring Bias

Decades of FBI data: Black people in the US are *overwhelmingly* more criminally violent than whites.

Monitoring Bias (aka i/o) is a far-right Twitter account which primarily tweets anti-black racism and race and intelligence pseudoscience. In February 2023, Elon Musk tweeted to Monitoring Bias which sharply increased followers of the account. As of June 2023, Monitoring Bias has 79,000 followers on Twitter. The account is similar to Libs of TikTok — the main difference being the former is virulently anti-LGBT while Monitoring Bias is staunchly anti-black.

The owner of the Monitoring Bias account formerly used to go by the name A New Radical Centrism but now blocks anyone who points this out.

Digital footprint
I'm certain it's the same guy. He started a new account on @anrcentrism, and then changed the handle to @monitoringbias. Keeps using the exact same talking points as a_centrism as well.

The Monitoring Bias account on Twitter was created in July 2022. However they used to tweet as A New Radical Centrism. The latter went inactive the same month Monitoring Bias was created; their race and IQ threads were copied by another account, Paolo Shirasi. It is widely suspected Shirasi is in fact a third account owned by the same person.

It is not difficult to connect Monitoring Bias to A New Radical Centrism: they follow the same accounts, post racist content, use the same punctuation and spelling, identify with the same terms politically, both claim to be living in the US, have very similar descriptions on their profiles, and so on. While A New Radical Centrism deleted virtually all their tweets, an archive can be found on Wayback Machine.

Facebook group
Monitoring Bias used to own a private group on Facebook. A single public post of the group bashed "Cultural Marxism" and promoted the anti-Semitic theories of Kevin MacDonald:



The only public post on your Facebook group is you approving of wildly anti-Semitic pseudoscience. I wonder what "centrism" you keep private?

Elon Musk
Some media already picked up on Monitoring Bias' tweets on race in October 2022. In February 2023, Musk responded to one of these controversial tweets. Specifically, Monitoring Bias had defended Scott Adams over a racism controversy. Musk responded, tweeting: "For a *very* long time, US media was racist against non-white people, now they’re racist against whites & Asians." Monitoring Bias' user description at the time similarly had read: "monitoring.... institutional bias against white and Asian people in America." Musk nor Monitoring Bias substantiated this far-fetched claim.

Anti-black racism


You know that's also the "A New Radical Centrism" account guy, right? The "Black people have contributed nothing to society" dude?

Monitoring Bias' unhealthy obsession is disparaging black people by claiming they are dysfunctional, prone to crime and have low IQs:

A repeated dubious claim by Monitoring Bias is there is a mean IQ gap of 15 points (1 SD) between black and white Americans. However, the B-W IQ gap is considerably lower (9.5 points).

Monitoring Bias has described Black Lives Matter as a "founder-enriching scam".

Criticism of interracial relationships
Similar to Edward Dutton and other white nationalists, Monitoring Bias criticizes interracial relationships with black men in many of his Twitter posts. This seems to stem from anger, fear and insecurity.

Eugenics and fertility rates
In a now deleted number of tweets Monitoring Bias criticised the overpopulation activist Paul Ehrlich calling him a "quack". Monitoring Bias' issue with Ehrlich is he wants to decrease fertility rates worldwide. Monitoring Bias instead, as a eugenicist pseudoscientist concerned about so-called wants to increase the fertility rates of "high IQ" populations and "prosperous nations."

Monitoring Bias has criticised white women who do not have children because of concerns over anthropogenic climate change:

Anti-immigration
Unsurprisingly for a racist who loathes black people, Monitoring Bias opposes black immigration into the US and has also criticised Mexican immigrants:

Monitoring Bias has criticised Muslim immigration to Europe (but not the US) and claims "they are a disaster in terms of crime and welfare dependency."

They have denied accusations of white nationalism by claiming they support immigration from East Asia to the US. This is not though an unusual viewpoint among the alt-right.

Transphobia
Monitoring Bias is openly transphobic:

In March 2023, The Daily Dot published an article categorising Monitoring Bias as a right-wing social media commentator attempting to stoke divisions and fear over a trans rights protest.

Anti-veganism
Monitoring Bias is against veganism and has mocked vegans.

Anti-multiculturalism
Monitoring Bias opposes multiculturalism:

"Anti-woke"
I have to confess that while I was right about the nature and threat of the woke virus, I was wrong about the *speed* with which it would infect our society.

Monitoring Bias formerly identified as an "anti-woke" and "unwoke" as recent as February 2023. They used to call almost anyone who disagreed with them woke (showing how nebulous and ill-defined the term is), however, they now criticise some anti-woke memes (such as "go woke go broke" ) and even anti-woke activists such as James Lindsay. In a nutshell, Monitoring Bias is a fake contrarian. As soon as they realized being against wokeness gained some popularity (especially among conservatives) they started to distance themselves from it and removed "unwoke" from their Twitter description.

Fake centrist


Monitoring Bias falsely claims to be politically a "centrist". 🇱🇮

NewsNation journalist Zaid Jilani has described Monitoring Bias as "far-right... obsessed with hatred of minorities".

Twitter's "You might like" algorithm for Monitoring Bias' account includes the far-right account Libs of TikTok.

Hilariously, some conservatives have even pointed out Monitoring Bias is to the right of them:

Ties to white nationalists
Monitoring Bias is a mutual follower of multiple far-right and white nationalist Twitter accounts including Emil Kirkegaard, Steve Sailer, Bo Winegard (who self-identifies as an "ethno-traditionalist"), Hbdchick, Noah Carl and Sean Last (who was formerly affiliated with the neo-Nazi The Right Stuff). Monitoring Bias also supports "white pride" albeit under a euphemism as a "consciousness of European ancestry":

Monitoring Bias in the past (on their A New Radical Centrism account) was more open about their white nationalist sentiment:

Nevertheless, they still openly criticise countries which have high racial/ethnic diversity:

They also more or less admit to being a racist:

Monitoring Bias has tweeted numerous white nationalist tropes including "white guilt", "anti-white racism", and so on.
