I got banned for telling the guy posting Tucker Carlson on “Progressive Politics” that he’s a chickenshit coward because he couldn’t give a reason why he’s platforming Nazi shit and instead deflecting to a hundred other topics.
I’m not mad that I got banned, I was very rude to the guy, but it is pretty gross that they’re still promoting a reactionary white supremacist as “progressive politics.” I reported the post to the mod and got banned instead.
Oh well, that place has a history of hosting that kind of garbage anyway. No big loss.
It is a perfectly fine thing to use the enemy’s words to sow disruption amongst the enemy - it’s pretty much SOP in the propaganda business.
However, depending on the audience, this should always be placed in the proper context.
Why this wasn’t done in this particular instance seems merely to confirm my (thoroughly justified) biases against these (so-called) “progressives” (ie, edgy liberals cosplaying as leftists) who would happily accept people like Carlson back into the fold as long as he hides his raging white supremacism behind appropriate liberal political decorum.
