I disagree. This is satisfying, but exactly the kind of thing playing into right-wing propaganda: "The left is smug and dismissive, it has no arguments." I understand refusal to engage, but it should be EASY to engage JP and prove him wrong!

You're wrongly assuming absence of disingenuous behavior. The vast majority who show up to argue don't want any intellectual exchange. They want the legitimacy of intellectual people arguing with them.

I understand this, but 1. I don't think that's JP's goal, he believes he's already legitimate; 2. There are a lot of non-Nazis who get genuinely convinced by his arguments, get suspicious of the left, and are primed for right-wing radicalization. Isn't it a *big* problem?

Yes, and you solve it by no-platforming him. Not by expanding his platform.

He's mainstream enough that there's always someone who will give him a platform. (I've watched some of his talks - it helps me sharpen my critical mind. There's no hate speech, only fallacies, wrong inferences and conclusions. Justifying no-platforming isn't immediately obvious.)

As news media, giving a conman peddling fallacies coverage when there are thousands of more-qualified ppl on whatever topic you want to cover is utterly irresponsible.

The only justification you need not to give platform is lack of expertise.

They don't give me media appearances to talk about heart surgery.
