It's from a video game called Little Red Lie, but it might as well be a direct quote from male execs in their 30s/40s.

For those people who've posted previously who wanted to convince friends or family that actually the alt-right is stupid and leftism is good, the New Syndicalist wrote a nice summary piece on how it's better to use your emotional intelligence and active listening skills than Pure Logic and Reason to change minds, drawing on an interesting mix of FBI hostage negotiation strategy and IWW agitation.

Did i fail to refute his points? CAN the points even be refuted? Does evidence matter? Is it even possible to win an argument with the alt right? Did i lose by giving up and making fun of him?

They can be refuted but you gotta understand that he is making an emotional argument and attempting to buttress it with some poo poo he heard somewhere. The only way to change his mind is to figure out the emotional core of his resistance to the idea that maybe women are treated worse than men in the economic/leadership arena. Deal with that and then he'll listen.

As mentioned in the replies to this - the state in FMA was pretty much modeled after Nazi Germany and were corrupt bad guys run by a murderous tyrant.

"yes, this is what we were looking for. I can't wait to be truly unshackled to combine my dog with my daughter, slaughter hundreds of thousands of brown people for no reason, or run secret experiments on prisoners of war that harvest their bodily fluids to make a superweapon."

One of the main subplots is also about the displacement and oppression of indigenous people, which was inspired by Japan's treatment of the Ainu people.

There is something to wishing the insane tyrants actually had something to back up their delusions of grandeur if only because there'd be something to be impressed by.

This was his big defense:

Also here are some examples of the exact opposite in fields.
Which not that it really matters because it comes down to the choices the person has made and the effort and not what they have in their loving pants."

I've talked about it before but if you're trying to monetize as a youtube personality, the huge contingent of NEET pepes is the largest and most reliable viewer demographic and unless you intentionally move away from them your analytics will point you to making content that's farther and farther right.
