I don't really like the guy and I think he's incoherent but I understand why he wouldn't bother denouncing anyone.

2018-07-30 01:31:27 UTC  

It's the same school of thought as Lauren Southern and the Molymeme. Their opponents are never going to listen to a denoucement and say "well I guess they aren't nazis so we can't ever accuse them of being nazis ever again"

2018-07-30 01:31:46 UTC  

Southern is way more likeable

2018-07-30 01:31:54 UTC  

But on this specific issue, she's probably the worst.

2018-07-30 01:32:03 UTC  

She never says *anything.*

2018-07-30 01:32:16 UTC  

That would distinctly bother the alt right.

2018-07-30 01:32:35 UTC  

In a way that feels like she avoids it on purpose.

2018-07-30 01:32:51 UTC  

Its not like the left would take her in if she did

2018-07-30 01:32:54 UTC  

Gavin very well may avoid it completely by accident.

2018-07-30 01:33:06 UTC  

She has said she's not with the alt right, but her friends are obviously

2018-07-30 01:33:25 UTC  

She's not going to denounce them

2018-07-30 01:34:13 UTC  

Like most political ideologies, some of their points are good ones

2018-07-30 01:34:22 UTC  

Her friends are..?

2018-07-30 01:34:27 UTC  

News to me. Whom?

2018-07-30 01:34:39 UTC  

Britney pettibone and her bf, the guy from europa

2018-07-30 01:36:16 UTC  

I don't understand how anyone who loathes identity politics can turn around participate in it themselves.

2018-07-30 01:36:16 UTC  

Being born in a place where my ancestors exterminated the natives I have some sympathy for native Europeans wanting to try to preserve their cultural identity and control of their nations.

2018-07-30 01:36:45 UTC  

I'm really getting sick of the term "cultural identity"

2018-07-30 01:37:02 UTC  

It feels like a term that can mean two very different things at a moment's notice.

2018-07-30 01:37:09 UTC  

And one of them is "race" quite sneakily.

Well, is it OK for say, the Cherokee to want to preserve their cultural identity?

2018-07-30 01:37:51 UTC  

No.

2018-07-30 01:37:58 UTC  

If it means race, no.

2018-07-30 01:38:07 UTC  

I love how the BBC criticised Hungary for closing their borders in interest of preserving their culture

2018-07-30 01:38:10 UTC  

I speak quite plainly on this subject. What couldn't you give to an adopted child?

2018-07-30 01:38:18 UTC  

Because its possible to, you yourself, have an identity and then not prescribe to a different identity so not want that one to usurp yours.

2018-07-30 01:38:38 UTC  

Does identity EVER have anything to do with ideas?

2018-07-30 01:38:40 UTC  

So the extermination of native American tribes is no different from Europe's past wars?

2018-07-30 01:38:48 UTC  
2018-07-30 01:38:50 UTC  

If the identity isn't an idea, then I don't give the slightest shit.

2018-07-30 01:39:10 UTC  

I think it always has to do with ideas. Because it has to do with culture... your ideas depend on your culture.

2018-07-30 01:39:19 UTC  

Well culture isn't just ideas

2018-07-30 01:39:27 UTC  

What else?

2018-07-30 01:39:32 UTC  

It's also traditions

2018-07-30 01:39:34 UTC  

Rituals

2018-07-30 01:39:44 UTC  

Well, yeah, but those are parts of an identity

2018-07-30 01:39:45 UTC  

How is that different?

2018-07-30 01:39:54 UTC  

Traditions and rituals are ideas.

2018-07-30 01:40:06 UTC  

Well
