        The alt-right is getting better at weaponizing the left's moral arguments against them. Hard to not give in and maintain some moral high ground without the left changing its own approach.

        It's starting to look like they've been studying Nazi philosopher Carl Schmitt's critique of the flaws of discourse in a Liberal society. The TL;DR is Schmitt was antiliberal and spoke about how to argue using liberal's own values (such as free speech) against them.

        A joke that criticized the very people that alt right assholes are pretending Seder is.

        Interesting so in your estimation it’s ok for ppl you agree with to make rape jokes?

        Since Seder's sarcastic comment was mocking Polanksi's apologist, I think it's okay for anyone (whether I agree with them or not) to make say it.
