      It seems like you guys were in such a rush to form the perfect nice, reasonable opinion that you didn't bother learning what the opinion was supposed to be about, and now you're stuck defending NAMBLA 2 because you can't admit you were wrong

      I guess I just don't understand the impulse to play these semantic games about something that you keep insisting you don't actually know anything about

      As far as I know, the "political position" in question here was "children can consent to sex." Maybe I'm just overly suspicious, but my first thought after seeing someone argue that is "maybe that person is a pedophile"

      His argument was that a parent limiting the "bodily autonomy" of a child is inherently oppressive. Surely you can see how people might construe that wrt sex. You might argue that's an unfair leap, but it's not like this came out of left field during a disagreement about taxes

      That's been my whole issue all along. Noah often writes absurd things. If you take what he says to its logical conclusion, you'll end up with some monstrous conclusions. But I'm not sure that's out of malice or foolishness.

          well, but he's now involved in this other thing so i dont think like people making such inferences is really so wild. i know i dont extend the same charity to people on the right

          He is comms director at a place dedicated to advocating that "absurd" position. Do you think he did that just to spite the Bruenigs, or should be maybe entertain the possibility that he actually believes the stuff he says he believes?
