Thanks for the reply.

I don't understand your post. We don't think we are wrong. Why would you want us to tell you why other people say we are wrong?

I mostly meant to solicit informative and non-hostile comments from people who think some aspect of alt right viewpoints are wrong, inaccurate, etc. This seemed like the appropriate place since this sub is at least in part meant for that kind of exchange right? I just wanted to do it in a more polite and information-focused way. Maybe I should crosspost somewhere else, does nobody else come to this sub?

I have seen some people on this site post stuff that's more fact based and less hostile, I was hoping for that kind of reply.

I would fit in with "the propagandized," and reading some alt-right things it seemed like some of the things people said were accurate. It was hard to get a fact-based reply when I tried to talk about some of it with people.

But that's also true for a lot of things, like "are vaccines really ok? those people are making a fuss about it and I want to be sure." That's a reasonable question, but people who seem very confident that their answer is so right I seem crazy don't give simple fact-based answers, like they might for any "normal" topic. The moon landing too. Gariepy's video from a while back about that was almost the only one I saw that was just the normal straightforward approach of "well ok, let's take a look at the evidence we have and see what we see."

I know it takes work to do that that not everyone wants to do. It's just that some people who post about this seem so absolutely confident about things, confident enough they justify treating other people badly. And ok, they're certainly not the only ones doing that in politics.

But if someone wanted to give some of it right now I'm interested in the normal straightforward version right now.

If you go down this path, you will end up as an alt righter. Everyone who searches for the truth eventually ends up here.

Note that anyone can be an alt righter regardless of ideology, because reality is just reality.
