Eyeslasho (aka i/o, formerly Monitoring Bias and many other pseudonyms including iomusicandfilm, ioimages, A New Radical Centrism and Paolo Shirasi) is a far-right Twitter account which primarily tweets anti-black racism, eugenics, pro-natalism and race and intelligence pseudoscience. In February 2023, Elon Musk tweeted to Monitoring Bias, which sharply increased followers of the account. In August 2023, Monitoring Bias had 93,000 followers on Twitter. The account is similar to Libs of TikTok — the main difference being that group is virulently anti-LGBT while Monitoring Bias is staunchly anti-black.

Monitoring Bias criticizes transgender people, multiculturalism, and veganism, but mostly tweets very negatively about black people. Monitoring Bias has stated that "I only claim to monitor a very specific kind of bias: That against whites and Asians by our opinion-shaping institutions". Like other white nationalists such as Richard Hanania, Emil Kirkegaard, and Anatoly Karlin, they identify as alt-center.

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.

Monitoring Bias spreads misinformation about LGBT and has likened being trans to a "gender cult".

In September 2023, Monitoring Bias changed their account handle to eyeslasho. This likely has to do with the fact that they were mentioned in a legal complaint as defaming someone in a tweet with false and malicious allegations.

In February 2024, eyeslasho classified themselves politically with white nationalists Steve Sailer, Bo Winegard and Noah Carl.

As of August 2024, eyeslasho continues to post eugenics and racism. One of eyelasho's eugenic obsessions is with fertility decline of "advanced" nations and they espouse pro-natalism to increase fertility rates for the "highest IQ" countries.

Eyeslasho has been caught out posting fake news and misinformation about race and crime statistics.

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.

—@DialecticBio

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:

A post on Monitoring Bias's Facebook group.

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

—@Sahelanth

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

Monitoring Bias is obsessed with black people.

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

—@BrandonLBradfor

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

The Truth Is, Many Americans Just Want Black People to Take Responsibility for Their Dysfunction

Black men (6% of population) committed about half of all homicides in the US in 2021. Over the past 50 years, blacks have murdered about 98,000 more whites than whites have murdered blacks.

35% of black people in the US have an IQ below 80 (borderline intellectual disability), compared to less than 10% of whites and 4% of Asians. This fact explains so much about disparities in America, but it is untouchable in the discourse.

I'll keep saying this: The US black mean IQ is 85. In inner cities, it's probably below 80. There is no path forward toward closing achievement gaps where such a huge cognitive disadvantage exists. Getting these kids up to 8th grade level is the best one can hope for.

But if you're an ambitious progressive white parent with a kid at Harvard, would you rather that she be surrounded by less intellectually-qualified blacks or more intellectually-qualified Asians? Which is better for your moral signaling and, more importantly, for your kid's GPA

Despite what you see on TV and in the movies, blacks have a much higher serial murder offender rate than whites.

In EVERY public school district in the country containing enough students of both races to make a statistically-reliable comparison, white students outperform black students. Even in those districts in which blacks are wealthier.

Black women in the US have a higher murder perpetration rate than white men.

Blacks admitted to medical school have, on average, much lower MCAT scores and undergrad GPAs, higher drop-out rates, lower licensing exam pass rates, and (although data is sparse) higher malpractice rates. This suggests that there should be fewer, not more, black doctors.

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".

After changing their X handle to eyeslasho they continue to post anti-black racism:

We know it because even when blacks earn more income than these other groups, they still commit more violent crime than Asians and whites, and usually more than Hispanics, in most jurisdictions in which there are statistically meaningful populations of these groups.

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.

Asian, Latino, and white women appear to prefer white men. Black men are least preferred.

Other views

Anti-veganism

Eyeslasho is against veganism and has mocked vegans. They have described their own diet as including yogurt, chicken, fish, beans, rice, and pasta as well as eggs and beef.

In October 2024, they wrote:

The presumed mental suffering of chickens and turkeys isn't the least bit morally abhorrent to me as long as they're delicious.

I'm not particularly interested in the welfare of chickens and turkeys, but the antibiotic thing seems concerning.

White identity politics

Eyeslasho supports white identity politics:

Even the wokest and most anti-white definition of "whiteness" makes it sound pretty good. (I am not ashamed to admit a fondness for the nuclear family, individualism, the scientific method, goal orientation, timeliness, respect for authority and hard work, and so on.)

But there's perhaps an even more powerful reason to embrace a concept of "whiteness": Given a future multicultural America in which "whites" will be less than half the population, it may be an important component of developing a protective group ""consciousness".

Anti-immigration

Eyeslasho has described immigrants to the UK as "more likely to commit crime" and who "reap the benefits of the welfare state without contributing to it".

In November 2023, eyeslasho supported anti-migrant protests in Ireland.

Eyeslasho has described immigrants to Europe from Africa and the 'Muslim world' as follows:

It cannot be stressed enough just how bad the quality is of the immigrants that Europe receives from the developing world.

By contrast, those who arrive legally in the US from the developing world are far more likely to be educated and secular, and far less likely to commit crime or dream of jihad or hate the culture they're entering.

And whatever you might think of the illegals that stream across our southern border, hardly anyone would accuse them of hating what America stands for or of not wanting to work for a living.

But there are immigrant communities in Europe in which only minority of adults work or are able to support themselves. They live in houses and shop with money provided to them by the native taxpayers whom they hate and victimize with massively disproportionate crime. It's the biggest grift — and cucking — in human history, and every institution in most of these countries is calibrated to ignore and suppress information about it.

Europe is truly cursed by its proximity to Africa and the Muslim world.

Anti-indigeneous racism

In response to Unthanksgiving Day and Indigenous Peoples' Day, Eyeslasho (posting as the pseundomyn A New Radical Centrism) tweeted the following:

People from Europe created in America the most economically advanced, technologically and scientifically innovative, politically free, and dynamic nation in history, seizing control of the land from groups incapable of producing any of those achievements.

Eugenics, pro-natalism and fertility rates

“”The implicit point I was making about IQ is that nations that have a lot of very smart people (those who generate the most innovation) are the ones who should be producing the most children. Instead the highest TFRs in the world are overwhelmingly found in low-IQ countries.

—@eyeslasho, eugenicist

In a now deleted number of tweets Eyeslasho under their pseudonym Monitoring Bias criticised the overpopulation activist Paul Ehrlich calling him a "quack". Eyeslasho's issue with Ehrlich is he wants to decrease fertility rates worldwide. As a eugenicist crank Eyeslasho is concerned about so-called dysgenics and wants to increase the fertility rates of "high IQ" populations and "prosperous nations."

Our global dysgenic future is fully underway!

South Korea (average IQ 106): 1.0 total fertility rate (lowest in world).

Niger (average IQ 68): 6.9 total fertility rate (highest in world).

(Note: The population-replacement fertility rate is 2.1.)

As a eugenicist fixated with intelligence, Eyeslasho/Monitoring Bias is concerned that the "most educated groups" have lower average fertility rates than "less educated":

That sinking feeling about America's future when you find out that only the less educated from each racial group are above the population replacement rate and the most educated are well below it.

Eyeslasho is concerned about increasing fertility rates to 2.1:

Total fertility rate (TFR): 0.78

TFR needed to replace population: 2.1

To survive, South Korea will need massive immigration. Luckily, it will, like Japan, mostly get it from nations in Asia that typically provide higher-quality immigrants.

It will escape Europe's bleak fate.

Criticism of voluntary childless women

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

Ever wonder why white liberals who go childless in order to “save the planet” don't seem to mind immigration from non-white nations with high fertility rates?

In July 2024 they were criticising voluntarily childless women who are concerned about climate change describing them as "neurotic":

Ask yourself the question: "Would I rather see extremely neurotic women producing offspring or not producing offspring?"

Anti-immigration

Unsurprisingly for a racist who loathes black people, Eyeslasho opposes Black immigration into the US and has also criticised Mexican immigrants:

Immigrants from East Asia, South Asia, and Europe punch well above their weight. Immigrants from elsewhere, well below theirs.

Question: Where are the Mexicans (our largest immigrant group by far) in all of this?

Answer: Almost nowhere to be found.

It's almost as if illegal mass immigration of barely-literate non-English speakers from nations with low mean IQs isn't a good idea.

Eyelasho as 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

Eyeslasho is openly transphobic:

I'm definitely not anti-LGB. And I'm only anti-T activists.

... the demolition of a biologically-based binary in order to accommodate a disordered group of people — that opens up the gates to civilizational chaos: If the male-female binary can so quickly be imagined-away, are any stabilizing forces safe?

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-multiculturalism

Eyeslasho opposes multiculturalism:

Canada continues its headlong rush into nothingness -- its "national identity" being precisely its lack thereof -- an agreeable mush of pablum fit only for the digestive system of multiculturalism.

To be a Canadian is to really be nothing at all.

This will be the West's future.

"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.

Eyeslasho/Monitoring Bias formerly identified as an "anti-woke" and "unwoke" as recently 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 is basically the anti-black version of Libs of TikTok.

Monitoring Bias falsely claims to be politically a "centrist".^{Do You Believe That?}

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:

Bro. I am a right winger and holy shit. You are farther right than me.

Ties to white nationalists

Emil Kirkegaard retweeting Monitoring Bias.

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":

I agree that "white pride" isn't a very good term. But a consciousness of European ancestry will be important for whites as their population share shrinks and the US becomes more racialized.

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

Estonia doesn't have a lot of wealth. It doesn't spend much on education. But it also lacks something else — and it's this deficit that explains much of its testing success ["Pisa rankings: Why Estonian pupils shine in global tests", BBC]. It lacks non-European immigrants. Naturally, the BBC doesn't mention this. By the way, there is no European country I'm aware of, other than the UK, where any Third World immigrant groups perform as well as the native European population.

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

A robust finding in the social science literature is that racial and ethnic diversity and "multiculturalism" reduces social trust.

They also more or less admit to being a racist:

You can't stop Wokism unless you have an alternate explanation for race disparities.

Establishment conservatives point to families and culture. Realists point to the relationship between IQ and group outcomes.

Both explanations are considered non-discussable and racist.

As far as being racist: I've noticed that when you notice huge race disproportionalities or anomalies in violent crime across a large population, there's always a particular group behind them.

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

In November 2023, they were again transparent about their white nationalist sentiment when tweeting to Bo Winegard:

Identity politics is the future. Whites will soon be less than 50% of the US population. Future immigration will be almost entirely from the developing world. The left is culturally ascendant. Colorblindness hasn't delivered for blacks. Multiculturalism will be the new reality.

So how are whites, when they finally do become a minority, going to respond to this new multicultural order in which all other minority groups are celebrated for having an "identity," but whites are not permitted to have one? How will they respond when these other groups use their identity to compete in the political system for their own interests? Will whites, now also a minority, still accept the old rules and imagine they don't comprise a group with their own interests? Will they accept a rigged system designed to favor other groups and punish their own? Or will they wake up to the new reality and embrace a group consciousness?

Promoter of misinformation about race and crime

An article in The Washington Post in June 2024 has exposed how Eyeslasho posts incorrect information and distorts data on race and crime:

“It’s true that things have changed since the 1950s,” user eyeslasho wrote. “1950s: Blacks killed about 600 more whites each year than whites killed blacks. Now: Blacks kill nearly 1,500 more whites each year than whites kill blacks.”

This isn’t true, which we’ll get to in a second.

This line of argument is not a novel one. For some time, racists have pointed to disparities in homicide rates as a way of suggesting that Black Americans are inherently dangerous or threatening to public safety. These assertions are often flatly wrong and almost always ignore extenuating factors, like poverty.

In 2015, Donald Trump shared an image suggesting that 4 in 5 White murder victims were killed by Black offenders, which is also false. At the time, the most recent available data showed that the vast majority of White murder victims were killed by White people, just as most Black murder victims are killed by Black people. Victims tend to be killed by people they know, and most people know mostly people who share their racial identity.

Setting aside the specific numbers offered by eyeslasho for a moment, there’s a very good reason the number of people killed might have more than doubled since 1950 — the U.S. population also more than doubled over that period.

The assertion being made isn’t about rates of homicide, it’s about raw totals. So the number of people in the country matters. If you go from 1,000 murders in a population of 100 million to 1,800 murders in a population of 200 million (for example), there’s a raw increase of 800 murders — but a lower murder rate.

We should note that the rates of increase in the size of the White and other populations since 1950 have not been the same. The size of the White population increased by 50 percent between 1950 and 2020 while the size of the Black population increased by 170 percent. But, again, the baseline matters: The country added 70 million White people and only 26 million Black people.

In a later post, eyeslasho presented a chart that purported to be the source of their claim. It attributed the estimates of the number of homicide victims to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s WONDER database. That tool uses data from the National Vital Statistics System, which doesn’t include information about the race of the perpetrator of a homicide, only of the victim.

The FBI, though, does collect both pieces of information. An analysis of homicide trends from 1976 to 2005 posted at the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) website doesn’t tell us what the numbers looked like in the 1950s, but it does show that over time most homicides have been committed by offenders of the same racial group as victims.

In the late 1970s, the difference in the number of White homicide victims killed by Black offenders and the number of Black victims killed by White offenders averaged about 580. The peak came during the crime wave in the early 1990s, when the gap was about 960.

By 2019, the last year before crime surged during the coronavirus pandemic, the gap was 320 — lower than at any point between 1976 and 2005. Washington Post analysis of raw data for 2022, obtained through the FBI’s Data Discovery Tool, shows a gap of 444 killings. That is also lower than any point during the three decades in the BJS data.

Again, these are raw numbers, not ones adjusted for population. So even with the increase in population from 1976 to 2022, the number of homicides is lower, including across racial lines. Again, too, the homicides for which we have 2022 data show that 87 percent of White or Black homicide victims who were killed by a White or Black offender were killed by an offender of their own race.

One question that emerges here is how Musk saw this post in the first place. He largely follows right-wing users, so it’s possible that one of them retweeted it and brought it to Musk’s attention. Another question that emerges is why he felt that this claim — suspect just from the standpoint of population increases — deserved that exclamation point of amazement. What was it about a false claim that Black killings of White people had increased relative to White killings of Blacks that piqued his interest?

In May 2023, eyeslasho had another post on X that bears mentioning here. In it, he asserted that Musk’s “acknowledging data on race and crime has done more to raise awareness of the disproportionalities observed in these data than anything I can remember.”

“Observed” is doing all of the work in that sentence.

Journalist Garrison Hayes has similarly pointed out:

Musk is amplifying users who will incorporate cherry-picked data and misleading graphs into their argument as to why people of European descent are biologically superior, showing how fringe accounts, like user @eyeslasho, experience a drastic jump in followers after Musk shares their tweets. The @eyeslasho account has even thanked Musk for raising “awareness” in a thread last year.
