not weighing in has allowed people to interpret it in their own way and it's been p interesting to see the diff conclusions people come to

But lots of people have been asking me what the "lesson" is supposed to be, and the answer is Idk, it's supposed to be ambiguous.

I tried to mimic the way these debates go as accurately as possible, and I think I succeeded at that, since even the Alt-Right thinks

I represented them fairly. I've gotten several comments from Alt-Right people saying I depict them perfectly in this vid.

BUT, I can now weigh in a little and give some idea of what I think it means and what we should do about it.

Two definite things: 1) Saul is the only one who is correct and 2) he loses this debate totally and utterly

Fritz is a predatory fascist and Jackie is either an extremely naïve inadvertent enabler or an intentionally malicious one

Saul responds to Fritz by completely shutting down, by being baffled and bewildered and offended and shocked. He's frankly astonished.

Saul is completely ineffectual, and every single leftist has been him at one time or another. I definitely have. We all have.

The big debate is whether Saul's mistake is 1) that he doesn't walk out of the room immediately or 2) that he doesn't use better rhetoric

I think either would be better than what he does.

There's a reason why it comes as a big relief when Abigail Cockbane shows up. Cockbane is a bit villainous herself be she doesn't take shit.

If Cockbane debated Fritz nothing productive would happen but at least she wouldn't be bullied. She'd interrupt, accuse, get real ugly.

But what she does is leave immediately. She won't even consider walking into the room with Fritz. And that works out better for her TBH

So if there's a "lesson" I guess it's that we have to work on not being Saul. Maybe that means walking out of rooms like that.

Or maybe it means developing anti-Fritz rhetorical strategies. But I honestly don't yet know what those are.

I can't say I've ever seen someone in debate with a Pepe-grinning fascist come out on top. But if it could be done it'd be worth doing.
