Or, that they agree with you..honestly, take you fuckin pick, I don't care and it doesn't matter.
More false syllogisms don't make them more true.
Not liking screechy SJWs is not unique to the alt-right. Many non-neo-nazis don't like screechy hysteria, all caps writing, uncontrolled emotionalism and so on. Many non-neo-nazis prefer measured discourse, supported by facts and values. Many people dislike hypocrisy, which is evident in the absolute intolerance SJWs show for any idea which is part of their trigger-meme dogma, from a group which pretends to promote tolerance.
Quote:I consider myself left-of-center. I favor welfare, healthcare, environmental care and so on, and AOC is currently my favorite politician. I mean-- how many vegetarian alt-righters even exist? I've also suggested many plans for the improvement of quality of life for black people, involving things like early release for harsh sentences (or for overturned laws like pot possession in some states), blind sentencing, and so on. I'm no expert on the alt-right, but I don't think any of these positions are typical of that school, are they?This, here, is actual virtue signalling. If you're going to whine about virtue signalling endlessly, know it when you see, and know it when you say it. Good for you, you've established your liberal bonafides. So what? You can be all of the above and still agree with or unwittingly repeat the alt-reichs rhetoric. Frankly, for most of political history libs were pretty godamned racist. It's unfashionable to be so today but that long relationship goes to show that the three states of being aren't fundamentally incompatible.
Quote:Your technique is pretty obvious-- guilt by association allows you to dismiss arguments based on group membership, rather than arguing actual points or supporting them with facts. But, don't you see-- you are the exact reason why I think free speech is so important-- because when someone tries to use techniques like group demonization, as you do, I get to stand up and make my ideas heard, instead of getting lynched on general principle.
I'm telling you that your anxieties about being washed as a racist are credible, even though the rest simply aren't - but only because you say the things that the racists say. You freely say them, no less..just as they freely say them.
Is there anything about that which doesn't argue directly against the freeze peach grift or strike you as entirely nonsensical? People will refer to the things you say when they form their opinion of you or your motivations. You are free to keep using your mouth..prodigiously, to give them exactly the sort of information that might lead them to conclude that you are a racist, or have been groomed in the racist pipeline.
