If you don’t know why that is the case, I will explain.
Firstly, it causes me actual physical pain to read because I have a son and society has become so default toxic towards men and assumes that they are somehow evil and guilty for....wanting sex and not knowing how to get it, or laughing at stupid jokes...
The reason this article is bad is that it is that it does exactly the things which cause the alt-right movement to get stronger and stronger, while knowing that it is doing them. It is hard for me to look at this other than a form of propaganda.
Here are the real, severe problems:
1. Categorize everyone who disagrees with you as a Nazi or alt-right. 43% of the population leans republican, call them all Nazis and you get the alt right. 2. Ignore or dismiss 100% of the counter arguments without naming what they are, just that they “must be wrong” 3. dismissing the entire validity of the alt-right by saying “there was one Nazi there”
There was a Nazi in Seattle once, he got punched in the face after ten minutes by a mob from the Internet. It doesn’t mean that everyone in Seattle is a Nazi.
What Liberals are going to have to do in order to get people like me to ever vote for them again is the following:
- admit There are extreme views on both sides and we can see how certain aspects of the Democratic Party are out of control, but that doesn’t excuse allowing Nazis, get rid of them and we will get rid of our nutcases also - If you don’t agree with 100% of what we are saying you still are welcome. We are not going to destroy your career and reputation if you want to argue over specifics - We are not going to use the words “whiteness” and “privilege” as a derogatory insult implicating all white people as being bad.
I work in tech, my twitter stream is filled with anti male and anti white rhetoric. I have blocked dozens of people for this reason.
- We are going to proactively eliminate bad actors with extremely racist and negative, toxic views from our own side
Until the Democratic Party and liberals admit to these things, moderate their tone, I am never, never, never coming back, and I voted for Obama twice.
It is time to stop pretending that there is only a single right answer, this article is exactly the propaganda that is driving the alt right and if it continues you are going to see it grow and I will be joining it, at this rate, I’d this continues.
