Did Spencer really write that passage about black genocide? I can't get my head around it, from what I've seen he dances around his racism more than that.

Did you miss the clip I posted where he's screaming 'Hail victory!", unironically using the Nazi term for the "lying press", and casually speculating that his political enemies aren't really people, they're just "soulless gollums animated by dark magic"?

Ah, I thought people were representing that as something he wrote. I haven't seen anyone show that screencap and say that he was the editor.

I don't doubt that he is a terrible racist, nor am I defending him in any way. I just felt that the presentation was misleading, and I don't know why people would need to exaggerate anything about him.

It's a lot easier to get someone to read a short paragraph that he published and summarizes what he stands for than to get someone to watch even a short 3 minute video of a guy being a nazi.

What are you talking about? I watched the "hail victory" video, long ago. It's not as explicitly racist as the wayback passage, which is why I asked what I did. Why not post a short paragraph he actually wrote? Wouldn't that be more damning?

Then why not be honest and say "this is something he edited" when sharing it rather than implying-or-more that he wrote it? Because you wish he'd written it? Because he's not terrible enough on his own?

You do know what 'Sieg Heil" means right? You do understand who he is referring to when he says "We were not meant to beg for moral validation from some of the most despicable creatures to ever populate the planet. We were meant to overcome. To overcome all of it, because that is natural and normal for us."

I mean, these aren't even dogwhistles. He's screaming Nazi slogans to a crowd of Nazis and then encouraging them to "overcome" their subhuman enemies because it's the natural order of things (hint: when a Nazi describes the "natural" way of overcoming they don't mean scoring points against you in a debate). In what way is this "dancing around" racism? He's openly calling for a race war.

I know what it means, yes. I know that he is a despicable racist who incites violence and hate. "overcome" is different from explicitly calling for black genocide, which is why they use the more "acceptable"/deniable language. If he is just as explicit in his own words, why are people circulating someone else's that he edited?

Because the quoted text and the speech he gave are calling for the exact same thing.

I think it's pointlessly intellectually dishonest to present it that way, and I think it weakens the legitimate criticisms of him. The case against Spencer is strong enough to not need exaggeration.

Is it possible to be more explicit than standing on a stage shouting "Hail Trump, hail victory, hail our leader" while people give you the Nazi salute?

Wow we mentioned that he was the editor of that passage not the author truly we must discuss how this minor inaccuracy is going to plague our criticisms of a literal Neo Nazi

I'm saying "don't present that as though he wrote it, because it's misleading". I've been quite explicit about it. I'm not defending anything. I am not implying that Spencer is anything other than a dangerous racist. I've been explicit about that too.

Because it's a meme not a peer reviewed article being published by a scholarly press, and because it makes absolutely no difference since the point isn't "he wrote these exact words" but rather "he believes and actively helps spreads calls for race war".
