I am not a no platformer. I “platform” people all the time. I engage with them publicly; I’ll argue online, I’ll talk to them at events. I won’t make plans to go on a fascist podcast, but if they are live streaming at an event I’m at, I don’t walk away. But the problem here…
Not knowing who these people are means not being particularly familiar with their circles. Also the left winger is the famous person, right? The right are desperate for clout and followers. They’re not normal people, not random turning point students. They all want to be the next Nick Fuentes.
I’ve known one of those girls for years. She has stickers of me in her telegram channel. She worked for TPUSA, and i was going to write a story about her, but she actually got fired for being a fascist before I even pitched it. So I let it go. Bc writing about her would’ve been helping her out.
I know 2nd graders who want to be “social media influencers.” Already. At 8 y.o. 🙄
Maybe there are everyday jobs out there where being a fascist is an asset. Meter readers? reddit admins?
ICE
GOP staffer, c4 founder, dark money mover.
Quite the dilemma 👹
I’ve tried explaining this to people and they still don’t get it, this is not a victory for Medhi, it’s a pay day, a future job interview and an effective pr campaign for the nazis.
As always, I’m sorry if any of this is hard to understand. I am using talk to text because I have tendinitis.
Sorry to hear that! It's not hard to understand at all. You've convinced me about Jubilee. I've just seen so many "this is why you don't platform fascists" posts so I assumed that's what this was which was a little unfair given your post was only one word.
I appreciate how strategic you are w/ your work and also your patience with your repliers. Thanks for taking the time to explain things, I find it really fascinating! Looking forward to reading your stuff.
