      i've heard this type of story from a lot of "antis", in varying degrees. it's fragile, but it's also human. more effective approach needed.

      The thing is, though, the approach BA describes is hardly "you're a bad person!" It's "hey bro, that's not cool"

      Like, how much more gentle about it could they be? With a lot of people it's not just over-harsh crit that turns them away, it's any crit

      I've seen people flip over *implied* critique. "Oh, so you don't eat meat HUH?? I guess you think I'm a bad person then, HUH???"

      yeah, people can be v sensitive. which is why i don't think criticizing people is always the best approach. discussion much more effective.

      I guess the question then is how to initiate discussion with people who are that sensitive about it.

      I agree it's more useful to talk about the topic in general first, rather than opening with critique of specific behavior

      But with a guy like Baked Alaska I doubt that something so small provoked him to this extreme unless he had serious underlying racism

          and I'm not inclined to believe that "that's not cool" provoked him to start going to rallies with Richard Spencer

          sure, but he says himself that situation (his emotional response) was significant in shaping his views, which is worth paying attn to IMO

          right. discussing topic, open qs, getting feel for their perspective. i'm sure BA has underlying shit, but we all do & that's the problem
