I'm not trying to persuade you, I'm trying to persuade others who are reading the thread. People most likely not participating in the conversation because they're on the fence

Yeah, that's also the only reason I have these conversations, and the way to do that is to appeal to the values I actually share with them, by using someone like you as a negative example to hold in contempt and disgust

Scott, of course, does this too, but he's not doing it the way you claim he does He doesn't really care about convincing his Nazi fans to vote against Trump, he cares about saying "Look I'm voting for Hillary but I'm still a rational, levelheaded anti-SJW guy you can hang with"

You're telling me that a Jewish man's main concern when blogging is appeasing his Nazi audience?

He has literally been confronted in public about this and chosen to mute/ban the person confronting him rather than the Nazis in question So yes, that is what I think

Scott has a post about how if you aren't careful, right wingers will take over your blog comments, and he's explicitly said that he takes a hard line with them and is more willing to ban them even when he would not do so for others

this observably doesn't actually occur, which is one of the things Scott got super upset at being called on you are trying to tell us that the receipts we've been posting don't exist, and it turns out they do and you're a timewaster, and that warrants noting (and ridiculing)

"this observably doesn't actually occur" You're saying Scott doesn't ban neoreactionaries? You must not read the blog much "you are trying to tell us that the receipts we've been posting don't exist" I'm not telling you that, I'm saying they aren't representative

OK, if you were there, what were the main points in Scott's article where he refuted neoreaction? I'm having trouble remembering. Maybe you can help because your memory is so good :)

I didn't actually read it because the very idea of such an article makes my skin crawl I do know that he has since put a disclaimer on it saying he no longer agrees with much of it

the useful thing about SSC being entirely in dated archives is you can see the bits where he's quietly removed the most egregious statements if linking, always link an early version by preference unless you're specifically linking content from a late version

> Overall I am surprised how often "You are doing something I don't like, please stop" is met with "Yeah, well, people do things I don't like all the time, so I won't stop" Why would you do this? You know I don't like it.
