Okay, fuck everyone who got on this "you can't debate the Right" bullshit. I don't think Contra was very good at debating(sorry) but there aren't enough people out there attacking these ideas & that is only hurting Leftists ideas. https://twitter.com/contrapoints/status/936094148578496512 …

Dogpiling & knocking someone out of the fight is only hurting US. Yes, debates don't always work if you aren't good at debating, but do you really think that Dawkins, Harris, Hitchens, & Krauss debating Christians at Christian venues didn't have an impact on the rise of Nones?

We can't just make our vids. That makes everything that insular alienates the wider public to our ideas. You know whos ideas aren't alien to the public? The Alt-Right/Light's! Why do you think they gained popularity? It's because WE stopped engaging.

Contra might have gotten really good at doing this & that would have made a positive impact but part of the Left had to eat it's own. I get that many Trans people look this in a personal way. I don't know how that feels, but I think the reaction had a negative impact.

*Trans people were not the only people who went hard against Contra there was a general contingent that doesn't want anyone to engage with the Right in any way. That's the problem. I'm just saying that Trans people were affected by this differently & I can understand that.
