If someone is effective at deradicalizing the alt-right maybe don't try to destroy them because they aren't an Anarcho-Communist Maybe make better arguments & pull ppl farther to the Left from their base Movements are multi faceted. A single approach doesn't work on everyone

You're not going to get a channer to go from laughing about Tran people getting beaten to death to being polite intersectional feminists overnight. Most people need a bridge out. Destiny, Vaush, & the dirt bag left are that bridge.

That's not to say that they are the END, they are a STEP, & a necessary one at that. It's upto other people to move those channers farther to the Left. The alt-right has a pipeline. Leftists need one to.

It's valid to argue that having irreverent channers on the Left is uncivil & it is, but I would rather deal with some uncivil Left leaning people than the next alt-right terrorist

And let's not act like the Left doesn't already have uncivil radicals that existed before 4chan. Tankies are worse than any impolite ex-channer

You don't have to interact with the more corse parts of the Left. That's fine. It's not for everyone & isn't SUPPOSED to be, but they need to exist when the Far Right is growing like crazy & is in power.

"Being a center leftist is the same as being a Nazi." Is not all that different from "Nazis and socialists are basically the same lol"

Some people just like attacking people online. They'll find any justification they can to be righteously angry at and superior somebody.
