I take on all sorts of views on this forum; you brand anyone who doesn't hold the same views as you as either stupid, a bigot, or disingenuous. You're an aggressive zealot Dezzy and it's basically impossible for anyone to engage with in any meaningful way - and that's why no one really even tries at this point. I could try to engage with why I think race and gender are inherently different - because gender itself is a social construct, and one founded in oppression of women - but I know there's little if any point.

I don't make out that "both sides are beneath me" and I frequently take a side, I'm just willing to listen to moderate views on both. I'm not interested in dogma and extremism "on either side" because, yes, it's anti-intellectualism and a waste of everyone's time.

I've never once said your views aren't valid, I've never even said the same even to the likes of LT, whose opinions are basically whoever's videos he's watching at the time. You're confusing my opposition for me saying your views aren't valid and that's entirely on you. Kind of like how you're making out that I'm an extreme zealot for not buying into your own hype. Shall we talk about extremes, shall we?

The GCs very recently had a rally, lead by Posie Parker that saw nazis stand with them, doing nazi salutes for the cameras. To me, siding with nazis is extreme. If Nazis began to support something I believed in, I'd probably reconsider my position and truly assess if I was in the right, it's the shame the GC crowd are too extreme and radicalised to do the same.

But no, I'm the extreme one for not thinking the sun shines out your arse.
