re: your panel @sjshancoxli.liberalcurrents.com it depends on the debate! i recently saw a promoted debate b/w curtis y*rvin and some presumably non fascist philosopher over whether we ought to be ruled by a despotic CEO or have some kind democracy & the framing felt stupid & insuperable
could you really reach anyone who wants to be ruled over by a king? or are you just a foil, will you just be a stooge that shores up the propaganda? this is not a hard and fast rule but i’m inclined to believe better to invest same effort applied elsewhere they still need us to legitimate them
(want to reiterate i fully agree with your stance that it IS our job to educate, it is our job to show we deserve dignity, that our lives are in fact enviable because we live in freedom and in joy free just i guess tactically we have to do it without embedding THEIR vitriol and critiques)
