re: Gavin McInnes: Alt-right v. Alt-Lite

he claims the label, but a lot of the message/ideals behind people claiming the "alt-right" wasn't white nationalism or anti-jew bullshite. now many who claim it do believe these things, which is why i am enjoying this distinction. it makes it more clear for all sides. people who mislabeled themselves "alt-right" can now correctly label themselves as "alt-lite", the current version of teh "alt-right" can hate on them like they do everyone else, and progs lose the "they're all racists" message for the "alt-lite". win win win

Counterpoint from the left: "You're a racist nazi."

Identifying as alt lite does nothing, literally nothing to convince the left that you aren't a Nazi fascist. You can scream it until you're blue in the face, but so long as you constantly act on the defensive and play the game by the left's rules in the "racist" debate, you're always going to lose.

If you allow the left to set the frame, which in the case is being able to define what is and isn't racist, then you will forever lose. There is not a damn thing you will ever do that will convince them that you are not the reincarnation of Hitler.

This is why your only choice at this point is to respond with the agree and amplify method in order to force them to respond and debate on YOUR terms. Force them to debate the facts and the issues by literally agreeing with and amplifying their premise. Because liberals never have any substance to their arguments, this always causes a nuclear meltdown in their brains as they struggle to come up with a response while their brain reboots. The entire liberal shtick is to shut you down with claims of racism. By flipping it around, you turn the tables and control the argument.
