Defo. I really dislike dave rubin but he has a point when people like him peterson, shapiro, Eric weinstein, Harris et Al are all lumped into the same group and considering to be on par with someone like Richard Spencer.
But then they go and merk themselves by considering themselves part of the "intellectual dark Web" lol so idk
Also agreed. They absolutely don't do themselves any favors - and there's no way I don't believe these people know they're darlings of the alt-right.
But at best, they'll say some shit like "labels like liberal and conservative don't definitely me."
I don't believe they're alt-right, but there is absolutely a level of malice there that the average Trump supporter might not have.
Why are we interested in spending so much energy on distinguishing varieties of racist/sexist views? Is Scott Adams any less shitty if we don't call him alt right?
OP, you're prefacing every post with "yeah what he did is indefensible and bad but..." then defending him. Why bother? Is it simply the label that bothers you so much? I'm of the opinion that we don't need to stand up for bigots of any kind.
My point is, in a sentence: "Many of these people are ignorant, not alt-right."
And in another sentence: "It makes it easier for them to ignore us if they can point to how we over-labeling people."
Finally: "The problem of actual alt-right Nazis is not as widespread as we're making it out to be. There are people who can be talked to/flipped in election times."
