RE: If you are calling yourself Alt-Right you might want to be careful... I debated and then was given some info
True... I said to someone else in my own edit that by using the term LEFT I am also generalizing by not specifying that I do not mean everyone on the left.
It also is vocal opposition that claims to be on the left.
The guy I argued with about this in Slack does not even identify as Left. He is the guy that got me debating by saying something like "I'll not riot shame, all alt-right people are white supremacists, racist, assholes anyway"
That was a haste generalization. All of the Alt-Right identifying people I had encountered up to that point fit none of that. Some of them may have been assholes I guess. Some may have been racist. Certainly not ALL though.
So I challenged him on that... he said I wasn't going to convince him.
This morning he shared all of the material that inspired my post.
I've said before that not all Alt right and Trump supports are white supremisists. It's not that easy in the same way not everyone who voted Hitler into power were White supremisists, they were angry and pissed off at the system that was failing them. Both leaders tapped into that and won against the system.
Yep. That's the key. Generalizations and absolutes are almost always false.
So as soon as we utter one we have kind of disproven our point.
