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.

When you talk about people who are "coarse" you sound like Ellen talking about people you 'disagree with'. Don't sugarcoat this. The problem that people have with these dudes is not that they aren't high on social graces. Its their bigotry and attacks on marginalized people.

Not to mention- they don't want to co-habitate. Because they can't. People act like its all us refusing to play nice with them- it isn't. The mildest of criticism will earn you slurs and attacks- especially if they think you are an easy target.

I'm not saying that anyone needs to be friends with them or co habitat Ellen was talking about a fucking war criminal who pulls people farther to the Right end of the spectrum. I'm talking about edgy people who go too far & pull people left of center.

I don't think that the pors & cons are exactly the same here. I'm not saying they should get a pass. I'm saying that if you want alt-right chuds to have an out for de radicalization people like Destiny surve a purpose & have a place
