      I mean, I think it can be done. But you have to foreground your end conclusion. "Here's some SPECTACULAR BULLSHIT, let's unpick it," not "here's an idea, let's take it seriously" *forty thousand words pass* "so obviously there are some flaws."

      You know that saying "Small minds discuss people, average minds discuss events, great minds discuss ideas" It was written by a useless ivory tower piece of shit like Scott I am happy to be one of the small minds who discuss people who say that and call them feckless nerds

      Anyway, you do not discuss neoreactionaries' IDEAS in order to oppose them You do not take them seriously You discuss them as PEOPLE - their neuroses, their hangups, their disturbing personal histories, the monstrosities their predecessors enacted that they seek to enact

      All the stuff that rationalists hate - "well-poisoning", "ad hominem", "Bulverism" It's the only thing that's actually relevant, it's the only reason to discuss them at all rather than ignoring them

      You don't have to take my word for it This is what Frederick Douglass said in 1852 when people asked him to debate defenders of slavery and make a rational public case that slavery was immoralpic.twitter.com/OR0MMctUM9

      I really should keep Frederick Douglass' quote "It is not light that is needed, but fire" whenever people use that stupid cliché that a public argument has "generated more heat than light"

      To the extent that my words have any value at all, they have value to the degree that they helped someone out there get so pissed off and so riled up they said "Fuck it" and went out to break some shit
