He speaks for the voiceless. He wasn't advocating violence, nor was he a violent man himself, nor are his readers- artists, academics & such...
- mark_edward 9y agoAmerican Renaissance is a white nationalist publication, the person you are replying to has no interest in the truth.
- 1dundundun 9y agoThank you. That helps.
- erikpukinskis 9y agoI think that's disingenuous. We are all caught up in political ideologies. We may be resisting and still desirous of truth. We might have both desire and fear, and fear might be winning. I think the practice of ad homineming your political enemies is harmful to anyone's political aims. It strengthens your hold over your base, but it makes it harder for you to grow the boundary beyond it.
- mark_edward 9y agoSorry, not concerned about convincing people who think I'm subhuman, or convinced they're at all open to convincing.
- erikpukinskis 9y agoWhite nationalists don't necessarily believe you are subhuman. And many white progressives do. Perhaps most. They just won't say it to your face. I don't think drawing the distinction where you are is actually cordoning off the thing you hope to cordon off.
- mark_edward 9y agoOf course not, they just believe this is a white christian nation and we should be packed off on a boat (again) and shipped somewhere I don't know and have never been. Or maybe we will be mysteriously """convinced""" to "self-deport".
- erikpukinskis 9y agoMany white liberals want exactly that, for the parts of you that they're afraid of. They believe in a fictional you who can stay.
- jimmyk 9y ago>hurt/ anger I think the word you're looking for is "hatred".
- HumbleGamer 9y agohurt + anger = hatred
