Kinda noticed a trend in these pics in that the white supremacists who show up to events in the Pacific Northwest look a bit different than the ones down South, who often seem more like Klan members, or former Klan. The PNW seem more paganistic, Euro-wannabees, etc.

Howard was still pretty racist, but had a special sympathy for the "savage" races and against imperialism that was positively progressive for a white guy from Texas.

From the Trump thread:
From what I can tell this guy was mixed up with Vanguard America, a white supremacist group which is mixed up with Daily Stormer and so on. When the alt-right has a protest and no Antifa show up, do they fight amongst themselves? The answer is apparently yes.

He doesn't come to us...we go to him...BOW DOWN, SLAVE.
I had a weird experience the other day.

I hate Milo Yiannapollis so much that I won't be bothered to google the cocksucker's (note: I'm am a proud practitioner and connisseur of fellatio; think "Deadwood") name to determine whether I correctly spelled it. I hate him so much that I would have to fight a strong compulsion to physically assault him if I ever "caught him outside". When I saw "I Am Not Your Negro", I watched it through gritted teeth and closed eyes half of the time, because of the anger; James Baldwin is pretty much my polestar for my thinking on race relations in America. J. Edgar Hoover had an FBI file on him. He was seen, by the American government, as an actual dangerous human being. We're talking matter vs. anti-matter here, basically.

I was having two drinks with two long time friends who are both aware of all of those facts. One is a gay white man who is getting his Ph. D at Yale and is married to a Google engineer; they live in Park Slope. The other is a straight, single Black woman of relatively recent Eritrean descent who works as a researcher with a well-known book publisher. I'm a gay Black man from the South whose stepfather was a Pentecostal pastor and I'm really excited for a job opportunity where I will literally be defending sex offenders daily as a substantial part of my practice.

At some point of in the conversation, my male friend states something to the effect of "The "liberal" response to Milo Fuckoppolois's apologia in defense of pedophilia and/or pederasty was, in itself, both homophobic and racist." My other friend agreed.

Of course, I didn't. At first, I was pretty much just like "gently caress THAT NIGGA*. If that's what it took to get conservatives to kick him off the island, I am all loving for it. He deserved it because he is a demon from the Abyss clothed in human flesh who should burn in an eternal goddamn car fire". The friend who made the initial statement stated that "part of the queer experience" includes "older men having sex with much younger men". I acknowledged that my first relationship constituted statutory rape but, like, I was going on 17 and other dude was 19. At that point, I thought I should look up That Cocksucker's actual statements to make sure I wasn't tilting at the wrong windmill. I tend to avoid any mention of him on the Internet because it raises my blood pressure and that poo poo runs in my family.

Anyway, when I learned that he advocated the rape of children as young as 13, my position became a bit more "AWWW HELLL NAAWW".

I admit that being a lawyer means that I can come across as aggressive when discussing diverging viewpoints with others, but I never make things "personal". That is, I don't attack the person, but I'm not afraid to be very incisive (e.g., "All legal scholars agree...", "You can't say that. You haven't read all legal scholars." "Okay. *Most* legal scholars agree..." You can't say that either. You literally cannot possible have read most legal scholarship. You can speak to what you have read, but you can't make expansive statements like that.").

I submit that arguing against such an apologia, or against the premise that pointing out its hideousness is somehow racist and homophobic, deserves aggressive arguments against either point.

The conversation devolved. I was told that I was "talking down" or "picking on" one or both of them and that I had no personal investment in the discussion (i.e., that I was more interested in scoring a "win"). I responded with the classic "I'm sorry you feel that way, but I'm not sorry for a single thing I said." Except I literally said that.

We parted on a lighter note but I was still bothered when I got home. I remembered something: "Hold up. *I* was molested as a kid." And when I say remembered, I don't mean that I recovered a memory through deep hypnosis. It's just not something I regularly think about because it happened a long time ago and it wasn't my fault? I've told one of the two friends that fact before. And then I started thinking more.

How is that my friends, progressive as they strive to be, think that they can speak to me on the same level about this subject matter when they both occupy positions of relative privilege with regard to said subject matter, vis a vis me?

That is: Friend 1, you may be queer, but you're still a white male and white men are generally terrible. Also, you're married to a fellow Yale Ph. D Google engineer and you live in Park Slope. Friend 2: You're a black woman and, got drat, I know that is hard. But it's just generally hard being black and you have the benefit of, at the very least, a) not having your relationship be seen as aberrant, more often than not, b) finding a suitable mate in the first place, and 3) not literally living with the threat of death when you have sex, without having to take HIV medication on a daily basis to prevent possible infection.

Like, the more I think about this, the worse I feel. I feel disgusted, in a word.

So, basically, is this argument something that people have espoused in a way that holds water? Outside of directly insulting my interlocutors, in what way could I have been the "bad guy" in this situation? Should I think less of these people, if they actually believe that argument?

*Don't touch my loving hair, don't police my loving speech. Code-switching, motherfucka, ever hear of it?

Yeah :shrug:

I think your friends' arguments are wrong but I think I relate because I'm gay, have progressive friends who will do the "well you don't really have a stake in this" (really?) and I had a lawyer grandfather (okay he was a drunk ambulance chaser who almost got himself blown up in that big Texas City container ship fertilizer explosion but bear with me) and I have to catch myself because I will argue like that, then go home and go "ah-ha! I should've said... and then I would've..." Which is not a healthy thing to do.

Once ad hominems get involved it's just bad all around. So I dunno. I try to defuse heated topics with humor. Except I'm not funny. However...

Well, Milo is correct in the abstract that young gay men often have relationships with older men. But the rule is divide your age in half and add seven years. It works for pretty much every age I think. If you're 17, then the age is 15.5. At age 20, the minimum is 17. It's quite sensible.

So Milo is at least 30. That lets him have a boyfriend no younger than... 22. He cannot go below 22. And he's talking about 13 year old boys! Yeech! Listen, some might think that's overly prudish on my part, but you've got to draw the line somewhere. We've. Got. To. Have. Standards!

So there! I would like an Original Double 'N Cheese Steakburger 'N Fries and a regular chocolate milkshake.

You know, for as much infighting there is on the Left, it usually materializes as 'mutual shunning' at rallies/marches, followed by passive-aggressive FaceBook 'call-out' posts later on. I can't imagine trying to take someone down in a chokehold because I thought they didn't belong there.

Pederasty is real bad. This is not a controversial stance. The only people who split hairs about 'well maybe pederasty is actually cultural and good' probably also have some real bad opinions about the merits of ephebophilia and why its not the same thing as pedophilia.

reactionary gays, especially reactionary white gays, are a lot less of a contradiction when you realize that they're just the natural result of being out of the closet being more acceptable in society, if it were 20 years ago they'd be in the closet, but still be huge reactionaries.

So because we're all on SA I'm going to assume most of know that E3 (the videogame industry tradeshow) is going on right now and Bethesda released a trailer for a new Wolfenstine game. Apparently some of the internet Nazis are upset that a game made the Nazis the badguys

Is this a bigger thing among these idiots or is it only the dumbest of the dumb?

Im not super certain, but I think if the argument starts with 'actually, the Nazis weren't that bad and its ridiculous that they are always portrayed as the bad guys!' then you can probably just relegate that person to the trashcan and not lose anything.

If the argument is 'Nazis are kind of played out and it would be great if game developers tried something new' I could almost see it, but, uh, the game is Wolfenstein. Killing Nazis is kind of the heart and soul of Wolfenstein. Its a proud tradition.
