Richard should air out his 'critiques' in cozy streams and real life discussions that have the air of respect and mutual good faith debate.

Twitter on the other hand is a social media site geared to cater to coordinated reputation attacks, and getting followers to engage in similar stunts. If Richard wants dissidents to respect and follow him he shouldn't 'critique' right using twitter or other such platforms. Twitter should exclusively be used for being critical of mainstream left and right. Richard constantly acts like his ego and follower count are more important than the cause of white nationalism/survival/sovereignty.

Richard 100% has an ego, but he usually has fair points as well. He wasn't even particularly rude. Calling a statement trite and meaningless shouldn't be so triggering. Keith is a big boy and can handle it - which he did, in a civil fashion. As far as the suitability of platforms for discussion, I will agree that Twitter ranks at the bottom. Unfortunately, people are driven to type where there are eyes to view it, no matter the character limit.

I find it suspicious that Spencer is till on Twitter.

I've heard him talk and he comes across as genuine, whatever the objections to his effete speaking style or argumentative behavior. I just think his mind follows patterns of logic that lead to occasionally fucked suggestions, like supporting Biden. If he wanted to grift, he's doing a poor job of it, and half of the alt-right seems to dislike him, so that's some truly stellar infiltration. The most worrying hunch I have is that he thrives on chaos and is too confident in coming out on top of the heap. Jack Dorsey would probably send him to re-education camp if given the opportunity, along with every one of us.
