discussion with him and Alex of a then ongoing psy-op to convince people that the "ok sign" was a white-nationalist dog whistle. The two of them thought it was hilarious that they had helped get some truck-driver fired over it.
The whole story is very odd, but this stood out. How did they contribute to it exactly? Was there a 4chan campaign to email the guy's employer that I haven't heard about? Because if not I find it bizarre they'd even see themselves as contributing to the guy's firing.
Scott Alexander was wrong. The natural end state of liberal discourse is not "seven zillion Witches and three Principled Libertarians" it is "seven zillion Witches and zero Principled Libertarians" because all the libertarians have been shouted down, driven off, or banned, for refusing to compromise on one point or another.
You're both wrong. There is no natural state of liberal discourse, and liberalism's obsession with pretending that it's merely riding natural tides rather then shaping them, is exactly why it's taking such a beating of late.

If the dude that got knocked for cracking his knuckles while driving a van somehow managed to become known, discriminated upon HVAC technicians should manage to bubble up as well. "It's totally happening in a completely symmetrical way, it's just that one side's cancellations are somehow cmpletely invisible" is not very compelling.

That's a pretty common view where I'm from, but I thought Americans see it different. In any case this sort of "taking matters into your own hands" / bottom-up self organization for the benefit of your community, is somethingbI always admired about Americans. Would be sad if youblet thatvpart of your culture go.

Can we please stop the endless repetition of "it's just a couple of crazy kids on the internet" meme? What would have to happen at this point for you to admit you're wrong?
Protesting is well within their rights, and arguably their obligations as citizens, so I would buy it from them to that extent.
I don't think that argument justifies rioting, looting, and chasing down a guy running towards the police. This I wouldn't buy from them, but I'm not seeing the similarity to Rittenhouse.

Or alternatively, how many of them really believe their talking points are so obvious to reasonable people that they just can't be disagreed with if explicitly stated.
How is that an alternative?
HVAC techs will do the same thing in the opposite direction.
Please, shower me with stories of people getting fired from their dream HVAC technician job for being insufficiently chud. Note: quitting because you don't like the chuds or they don't like you, doesn't count.

wasn't exactly anti-Motte
Eh... the name he picked has implications. Also, even when he was posting here, he was trying to scoop people away towards his hangouts. I've also see an exchange between him and gattsuru, where he used gattsuru's tolerance of the Motte as a mark against his character.
Zero personal connection.
His father lives there, and he works there, IIRC.

Back when I was young and innocent I'd ask "...w ...why can't you deport them for being terrorists?", but after the seven zillionth undeported child rapist in Europe, I might need to sit this one out.
Honor culture means that when someone insults your honor, for example by calling you a "retarded faggot", you are compelled to retaliate in order to restore your honor. If you're quick on your feet and have sharp wits, insulting the other party even more might suffice, if not your fists may need to get involved. This is contrasted with "dignity culture" where you would show yourself to be the bigger man by letting the insults slide off you.
Even if members of honor culture did find it insulting for you to point out their statement to the cops (and honestly I think most of them would just YesChad it), all that means is that they'd kick the shit out of you for pointing it out, not that they wouldn't do it.

"Honor culture" doesn't mean you can't lie to the authorities to get a shorter sentence, what are you talking about?
Christ, what a wanker.
