This tweet comparing right-wing YouTube to Logan Paul's travel vlogs has generated some debate. Here's a quick thread elaborating on what I meant.https://twitter.com/ContraPoints/status/949189978206162944 …

I don't think debates are bad, but I think that some people are too vile to be included in these high-profile discussions. It's hard to make the judgment call where exactly to draw the line (esp with so much vileness on YouTube). But Spencer is clearly over the line.

stream. Come one, come all, hear what the Nazi has to say.When I see leftists reacting to Warski's stream as if the problem was "it was an unbalanced debate, there should have been more leftists!" I kind of cringe. We all know a leftist who did a stream with Spencer would be disowned by half of lefty Twitter overnight.

The question debate organizers should ask themselves is: who are we choosing to put before an audience? What ideas are we giving a voice to?

The idea that hosting a Nazi discussion stream with 10,000 viewers is politically neutral is about as plausible as the idea that vlogging a suicide corpse raises awareness for mental health.

(I totally agree that
@DickCoughlan calling Richard Spencer a rotten spunk smudge would have improved the stream 500 fold.)https://twitter.com/GPSolomon/status/949452130074624006 …Show this thread

Why do you suppose that leftists disown those who actively try to promote our ideas and combat the worst ideas of society? Isn’t that counter productive? Shouldn’t we be supporting people who are willing to fight for what is right?

Pakman did it. And he did a good job. And as far as I know most of his following saw it for what it was.

Yeah and the only incentive is apparently "defend your ideas!" and not getting paid it's a no-brainer why assuming a SJW would show up didn't work out

Or we'd just shitpost about "winning debates" and become indistinguishable from the right.
