If someone calls themselves 'alt-right', then I'm happy to talk about their alt-right-ness with you.Brian Peacock wrote: ↑Fri Jun 26, 2020 6:16 pm
So now I've laid out a description and my reasons for opposing the alt-right, what do you think the alt-right stand for and how might your views differ from my own?
If, alternately, it is an unwelcome accusation and often a plain and empty insult, then better language might yield better info.
Because you reminded me of a figure often called alt-right, I looked him up. (haven't for awhile)
He gave the best quick description of the 'q' phenomenom I've ever heard. MUCH more useful than anything you or I have said about it.
Here is the rough quote...
So without knowing who said it, can you agree with his statement?q is astrology for MAGA-Moms
Now the tricky part...are you aligned with the alt-right if you do? Does the accuracy of what he said about it matter? Or must you disagree because he is accused of being 'alt-right'?
If you want to go over his particular case, that's fine. Maybe he IS a racist or something by our assessment. My point is that even if he IS a racist, it doesn't change a thing about what I quoted, or whether or not it was a good, succinct description.
