Michael Thurlow: I am a Nazi. Jon Kay: Michael Thurlow is not a Nazi. Me: If someone says he's a Nazi, that's good enough for me. What's puzzling is why Kay is making a fool of himself.pic.twitter.com/dxfkInJGNg

Part of Kay's argument (if you want to dignify it as such) is only people who ran concentration camps in 1945 are actual Nazis. That seems historically obtuse.
I mean, even in 1933-1945, most Nazis didn't run actual concentration camps. And the Nazis that existed since then don't have power, so they can't, but they do have the ideology.
There are people influenced by Nazi ideology who are killing people in the present.The fact they don't run concentration camps is of little comfort to me. Yet Kay wants to discount this reality. Why? https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/01/the-resurgent-threat-of-white-supremacist-violence/550634/ …
Mmmhmmm, no its bigger than that. He's specifically trying to divide political ideology from outcomes. He's saying that the Nazis were only those who actually did Nazi things in WWII and we can't generalize their behavior to others with the same beliefs.
That’s pretty nuch @MarcACaputo’s take as well.
Or, since he’s basically been run out of liberal circles, he knows the only way his career continues is pandering to the far right, the “Jordan Peterson” play
I think @jonkay thinks he's a dandy free-speech provocateur by doing this when in reality EVERYONE looks at him and shake their heads in pity and incredulity. Kay has his own dillusional "truths" and it's senseless to debate him any longer.
For a while Kay tried to understand & empathize. Unfortunately he didn't realize that even so, his privilege got in the way. So now he's acting out after he got spanked. Also, there is his mother.
It's partly this, and partly that his obsession with some hollow form of "intellectual diversity" gives him incentive to pretend that every vile asshole with a political opinion is actually not a vile asshole, but someone who deserves to have their viewpoint considered.
Ah, the first straw man.
