http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=252941910&postcount=592 If this place had more than 20 active users, you'd be called out and banned pretty quickly for comments like these. You most certainly did. Very slyly, too. Just not sly enough. When you say The thing is, harassers exist in general, I'm not the target of certain aggressors in the alt-right (because it's not actually all of them, similar to how BLM isn't filled with all violent and irresponsible protestors), other people that are really sneaky and all have ulterior motives. I think you can all see what is going on here? It's human nature. It's like those old stories that become folklore. The people at the end of the woods with pointy ears, and large noses. Be careful of them they eat children.lol
This actually reminds me of that thread where this video was posted:
VIDEO The video is pretty much summed up by this quote.
I'm not a fascist is exactly what a fascist would say I was banned at the time so I was just lurking. So many people were saying it was incredible advice. All I was thinking was, no, this is terrible advice. Because lets be honest here, a lot of those people are just going to use this line of thinking to accuse people they don't like, whose opinions they don't like, of being Nazis. All it does is encourage more paranoid conspiratorial thinking.
First of all it plays into the notion that the 'alt-right' are like this highly-organised secret society that have decret agents all over the place trying to covertly infiltrate Government agencies and manipulate public opinion and shape it in their own image. The chances that any of these people will ever unearth some 'cryptos' seems extremely unlikely to me. lol
The idea that far-right groups use coded language and deception is of course real. This is probably far more prevelant in Europe I imagine where you have hate speech laws and certain extremist groups are banned. It is a way to get around the law. Making yourself more appealing to the wider public would probably be a good move also.
The problem is, at some point you have to take what people tell you at face value. Things just descend very quickly into mccarthyism otherwise. Perhaps much better advice would be to believe what people tell you unless you have
very good evidence to the contrary . Another thing is, arguments live and die on their merits. So lets say there really were covert ALt-Righters pushing for policies that on the surface seem reasonable, but it is just a step forward for them reaching their goals. Well whatever that is, there is either merit in it, or there is not. That's the whole point of throwing arguments out there: to be tested and criticised to see if it sticks. The good ideas will be kept and the bad ideas thrown out.
This actually reminds me of conspiracy theorists whol believe the Free-Masons secretly rule the world. They always go on about hidden Masonic symbols hidden in plain view. They are right, there are masonic symbols in various places (whether that really means they rule the world is another thing). The problem is, they become so obssessed they start to find hidden meaning in everything. That is exactly what will happen when you stop accepting what people are actually saying to you and you believe there is some sinister motive behind everything. lol
