Eyeslashohttps://twitter.com/eyeslashohttps://archive.ph/nKOWz (aka i/o, formerly Monitoring Bias and many other pseudonyms including iomusicandfilm,https://archive.is/ykBWS ioimages,https://archive.is/Ms6cu A New Radical Centrism and Paolo Shirasi) is a far-right anti-vegan Twitter account which primarily tweets anti-black racism, eugenics, pro-natalism and race and intelligence pseudoscience while pretending to be a political "centrist". Eyeslasho criticizes veganism and vegetarianism having written they believe the pleasure of eating meat such as chicken and turkey outweighs the suffering of the animals involved.https://archive.is/x1SUr
In February 2023, Elon Musk tweeted to Eyeslasho, which sharply increased followers of the account.https://nypost.com/2023/02/27/elon-musk-says-us-media-racist-against-whites-and-asians/ In August 2023, Eyeslasho had 93,000 followers on Twitter.Archived webpage of @monitoringbias (10 August 2023). 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. Eyeslasho has also spread misinformation about LGBT and has likened being trans to a "gender cult".https://archive.is/2WB5R
Eyeslasho attacks transgender people, multiculturalism, and veganism, but mostly tweets very negatively about black people. They have stated that "I only claim to monitor a very specific kind of bias: That against whites and Asians by our opinion-shaping institutions".Monitoring Bias. threadreaderapp.com. Retrieved 5 August 2023. Like other white nationalists such as Richard Hanania, Emil Kirkegaard, and Anatoly Karlin, they identify as alt-center.
Eyeslasho formerly used to go by the name A New Radical Centrism, but now blocks anyone who points this out.https://twitter.com/GambelerQuail/status/1629187876390051840https://twitter.com/Roy44707/status/1613220775594496021https://twitter.com/thebirdmaniac/status/1589815842732408833https://twitter.com/StevePittelli/status/1598337468054622210A New Radical Centrism by @a_centrism, Twitter (archived from July 23, 2020).
In February 2024, eyeslasho classified themselves politically with white nationalists Steve Sailer, Bo Winegard and Noah Carl.https://archive.is/JK1c0 As of August 2024, eyeslasho continues to post eugenics and racism. One of eyeslasho's ridiculous eugenic obsessions is with fertility decline of "advanced" nations and they espouse pro-natalism to increase fertility rates for the "highest IQ" countries."The problem right now isn't so much with declining fertility rates as it is where those well-below-replacement rates are largely occurring: In the most advanced, productive and highest-IQ nations." X, August 26. 2024.https://archive.is/15fTN
Eyeslasho has been caught out posting fake news and misinformation about race and crime statistics.https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/06/18/data-race-murder-that-elon-musk-gave-deserved/
==Digital footprint==
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.https://twitter.com/PaoloShirasi/status/1546195148396273664 It is widely suspected Shirasi is in fact a third account owned by the same person.https://twitter.com/DialecticBio/status/1616672607922966528https://twitter.com/StevePittelli/status/1598301623947853824
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.https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://twitter.com/a_centrism*
===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:
==Elon Musk==
Some media already picked up on Monitoring Bias' tweets on race in October 2022.https://moguldom.com/425175/opinion-its-not-that-asian-students-perform-better-on-the-sat-than-black-students-because-they-are-better-the-sat-is-just-a-racist-test/https://www.newsweek.com/affirmative-action-racistagainst-asians-its-time-scotus-overturn-it-opinion-1753623 In February 2023, Musk responded to one of these controversial tweets.https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1629751544127037440https://www.thestreet.com/personalities/musk-us-media-is-racist-against-whites-and-asianshttps://nypost.com/2023/02/27/elon-musk-says-us-media-racist-against-whites-and-asians/ Specifically, Monitoring Bias had defended Scott Adams over a racism controversy.https://twitter.com/monitoringbias/status/1629477508444725251 Musk responded, tweeting: "For a *very* long time, US media was racist against non-white people, now they’re racist against whites & Asians."https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1629764614870167552 Monitoring Bias' user description at the time similarly had read: "monitoring.... institutional bias against white and Asian people in America."https://archive.is/0MwC1 Musk nor Monitoring Bias substantiated this far-fetched claim.
==Anti-black racism==
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.https://twitter.com/monitoringbias/status/1656368240040243275https://twitter.com/monitoringbias/status/1626618823234273280https://twitter.com/monitoringbias/status/1655352762526310400https://twitter.com/monitoringbias/status/1640757658528489473 However, the B-W IQ gap is considerably lower (9.5 points).https://www.vox.com/the-big-idea/2017/6/15/15797120/race-black-white-iq-response-critics
Monitoring Bias has described Black Lives Matter as a "founder-enriching scam".https://twitter.com/monitoringbias/status/1662886921394085888
After changing their X handle to eyeslasho they continue to post anti-black racism:
===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.
==Other views==
===Anti-veganism===
Eyeslasho is against veganism and has mocked vegans.https://archive.is/Ztvff They have described their own diet as including yogurt, chicken, fish, beans, rice, and pasta as well as eggs and beef.https://archive.is/cOs2Yhttps://archive.is/7qUIM 
In October 2024, they wrote:
===White identity politics===
Eyeslasho supports white identity politics:
===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".https://archive.is/cdQdv
In November 2023, eyeslasho supported anti-migrant protests in Ireland.https://archive.is/q53Yt
Eyeslasho has described immigrants to Europe from Africa and the 'Muslim world' as follows:
===Anti-indigeneous racism===
In response to and , Eyeslasho (posting as the pseundomyn A New Radical Centrism) tweeted the following:
===Eugenics, pro-natalism and fertility rates===
In a now deleted number of tweets Eyeslasho under their pseudonym Monitoring Bias criticised the overpopulation activist Paul Ehrlich calling him a "quack".https://i.ibb.co/QDRWTdb/Monitoring-Bias-Ehrlich.pnghttps://i.ibb.co/2s6mkfd/Monitoring-Bias-Ehrlich-quack.png Eyeslasho's issue with Ehrlich is he wants to decrease fertility rates worldwide. As a eugenicist crank Eyeslasho is concerned about so-called and wants to increase the fertility rates of "high IQ" populations and "prosperous nations."https://twitter.com/monitoringbias/status/1628277082105978880 archived screenshot
As a eugenicist fixated with intelligence, Eyeslasho/Monitoring Bias is concerned that the "most educated groups" have lower average fertility rates than "less educated":
Eyeslasho is concerned about increasing fertility rates to 2.1:
===Criticism of voluntary childless women===
Eyeslasho has criticised white liberal women who do not have children because of concerns over anthropogenic climate change:
In July 2024 they were criticising voluntarily childless women who are concerned about climate change describing them as "neurotic":https://archive.is/ZcB6Khttps://archive.is/piURb
===Anti-immigration===
Unsurprisingly for a racist who loathes black people, Eyeslasho opposes Black immigration into the US and has also criticised Mexican immigrants:
Eyeslasho as Monitoring Bias has criticised Muslim immigration to Europehttps://archive.is/MA6SF (but not the US) and claims "they are a disaster in terms of crime and welfare dependency."https://twitter.com/monitoringbias/status/1666285986970578944
They have denied accusations of white nationalism by claiming they support immigration from East Asia to the US.https://archive.is/4Vmzs This is not though an unusual viewpoint among the alt-right.https://planamag.com/no-conflicts-the-alt-rights-embrace-of-asian-women/https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/06/opinion/sunday/alt-right-asian-fetish.html
===Transphobia===
Eyeslasho 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.https://www.dailydot.com/debug/trans-day-of-vengeance-protest-twitter/
===Anti-multiculturalism===
Eyeslasho opposes multiculturalism:
==="Anti-woke"===
Eyeslasho/Monitoring Bias formerly identified as an "anti-woke" and "unwoke" as recently as February 2023.https://archive.is/8PCiZ 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"https://twitter.com/monitoringbias/status/1658161695968178176) and even anti-woke activists such as James Lindsay.https://twitter.com/monitoringbias/status/1631803103665070082https://twitter.com/monitoringbias/status/1632550630798622720https://twitter.com/Wu_Tang3636/status/1632408125645938689 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.https://archive.is/tY3io
==Fake centrist==
Monitoring Bias falsely claims to be politically a "centrist".https://twitter.com/monitoringbias/status/1665045399101403136https://twitter.com/monitoringbias/status/1656342061870612483https://twitter.com/monitoringbias/status/1665045397268463617
NewsNation journalist Zaid Jilani has described Monitoring Bias as "far-right... obsessed with hatred of minorities".https://twitter.com/ZaidJilani/status/1666455910217023489
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.https://twitter.com/monitoringbias/status/1590543102951161856https://twitter.com/monitoringbias/status/1661570633673711618
In November 2023, they were again transparent about their white nationalist sentiment when tweeting to Bo Winegard:
==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:https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/06/18/data-race-murder-that-elon-musk-gave-deserved/
Journalist Garrison Hayes has similarly pointed out:
===Responses===
====The Atlantic====
In August 2024, an article "The Far Right Is Becoming Obsessed With Race and IQ" in The Atlantic mentioned Eyeslasho's connection to Elon Musk and how the account has posted about the "genetic inferiority of Black people":
Eyeslasho disputed this description, commenting:
In response, the article description was later changed to "@Eyeslasho, a self-proclaimed “data-driven” account that has posted statistics supposedly illustrating the inferiority of Black people".https://archive.is/jvQ64
However, a scan through Eyeslasho's own posting history reveals they were not telling the truth about this as they posted that aggressive behaviour and low IQ is mostly driven by genetics:
====RationalWiki====
Eyeslasho is not a fan of RationalWiki claiming the article is inaccurate to describe them as a racist, pro-natalist and eugenicist. The problem with this denial is these viewpoints are clearly found in their tweets. For example, Eyeslasho has unambiguously supported eugenics by writing: "very smart people (those who generate the most innovation) are the ones who should be producing the most children."https://archive.is/YCsS6 They have also supported the pseudoscientific idea of . The denial they are a pro-natalist is bizarre in light of the fact they have made dozens of pro-natalist tweets parroting the pro-natalist views of Elon Musk. For example, Eyeslasho has made tweets encouraging South Korea to increase their fertility rate and promoted developed countries raising their fertility to "population-replacement fertility."https://archive.is/vBQ9Ohttps://archive.is/S1FiT
