Given how much of the alt right came out swinging for Milo, people should think twice about letting them anywhere near children.

Are you saying Sexual Abuse victims don't try to rationalize the sexual abuse they received at the hands of an abuser as a positive thing?

Hey Lambic, where's your response to these people? If you don't calmly rebut their points, how will you ever defeat Trump?

the message of "I'm an academic and you're not so I don't have to listen to you :smug:" works in the realm of academia, but falls short somewhat in the realm of public opinion/the shaping thereof, where the academics are pretty much always going to be outnumbered by the non-academics

so, if you can't boil down your fancy foolproof everythingworksout political philosophy to a form that the general public can understand and accept, the general public will turn away from you and listen to other people with simpler and more understandable (if incorrect) political philosophies, such as MAGA

this does of course mean simplifying your political philosophy to the point that it must be tested against the political philosophy of MAGA, where the public might be watching to see which wins

Unfortunately this. Given the rampant anti-intellectualism sweeping its way though the US and other parts of the west, academic positions hold even less sway in the public mind than they used to in the past. Simply asserting academic privilege and hoping people trust your honesty and scrupulousness isn't good enough anymore (it also shades over into argument from authority really quickly).

The issue isn't engaging with trash like Sargon (except as a showpiece), it's better engagement with the public without a sense of smug superiority. Also, I've mentioned this elsewhere, but no one should hope to convert Sargon or his acolytes. All such arguments exist to provide a positive counter-narrative and are for the benefit of onlookers and the undecided public.

Anyone who needs somebody to explain to them that adults screeching about keks and feminism in a playground are not people you want to be associated with is already too stupid to help. I'm sorry, but it's true.

That's not even close to what he said. What he said was people who were ostensibly not abuse victims came out in support of a statement that was pro-abuse.

Yes, there's a lot of small fash factions dating way back to the heyday of European fascism. Half of them have massive beef with each other due to members being kicked out or starting their own group because the old one was insufficiently hardline. They also have ideological schisms over their terrible ideas, like the EDL is pro-Israel because they kill Muslims, whereas the BNP are anti-Israel because cultural Zionism, or how some want British independence from the traitor EU, whereas others want closer integration with a 'strong white Europe'.

It's pretty funny whenever they try to organize some kind of 'broad church of the far right' and end up beating the poo poo out of each other.

4chan nazis really are just powered by memes and irony at this point. Like they'll do anything if they've seen it on the Internet and think it will piss people off. So it kind of follows they'd be doing stuff like that.

Shockingly, supporting pedophilia apologism gets you told the get the gently caress out of everywhere decent. If you want to try to defend that poo poo, gently caress off back to 8chan or wherever you oozed from.

If Milo was abused when he was younger, then he drat well knows better than to suggest it's an acceptable practice. And remember, he also said that young boys in relationships with older women are the actual abusers instead of the victims. Just like being abused as a kid doesn't give you a right to abuse kids when you grow up, it doesn't give you the right to absolve abusers of their disgusting crimes.

Shockingly, people don't give a poo poo about the reason someone thinks raping kids is cool, they just care that they have a pedo or pedo apologist standing in front of them acting like they are a person and not a monster in a suit made of human skin. Don't bother justifying him, and don't act like standing against child rape is whatever safe space whinging you pushed around.

I'm not justifying what Milo said just that Milo is a deeply-hosed up individual that needs to head to therapy so he doesn't try and justify what a child abuser did to him

I dont like the way your insinuating I'm pro paedophile/child-rape btw

Acknowledged. He and most likely a lot of other alt-righters need therapy. But in the meantime they need to shut the gently caress up.

rebuttals aren't needed when people are trespassing and causing a public disurbance; the appropriate response here is to call the police

if they were instead waving around their 4chan flag from the top of their house and yelling about normies all day from there, call the police too once it warrants a noise complaint
