If you're a professor who challenges the identity politics of the far left and far right, the leftist media call you "alt right intellectual"

True, & the right media call them alt left. That's why we need to just be ourselves & ignore others labels.

@nowic2 Well, we would if the left leaning media stopped using "far right" as a term to smear absolutely anyone, even complete moderates in the middle, who disagree with them whatsoever.

@cunningcrocodile well, that's just letting others pull your strings. I know you can't see that but good luck however you do see it.

@nowic2 Are you not aware of the amount of people this fringe left media call far right and other labels? Apparently, Paul Joseph Watson is a "free speech extremists" whatever the heck that means.

@cunningcrocodile He’s a fucking retard is what he is 😂

But sure, I suppose you can lump him into the general freeze peach crowd.

@QuixoticSoul A retard, huh?

Hey people say all sorts of things but that doesn't necessarily make it true. We only really pay attention to what it suits us to. As I say ignore, if enough do it removes their power. But I know you & many others can't do that which just feeds them for more. Well, all the best.

@QuixoticSoul And you must be Einstein?
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@cunningcrocodile No - and a good thing too, because being a genius would drastically hamper my ability to differentiate the retards from the merely stupid.

@QuixoticSoul ah, so you know things better than einstein. Explains how you can be the arbiter of what is considered "retarded".
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@cunningcrocodile I know lots of things better than Einstein - he was a very specialized sort of intellect.
cunningcrocodile · 31-35, F
@QuixoticSoul So then I guess by that logic, you are the arbiter on what classes as "retarded"?
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@cunningcrocodile You don’t need an arbiter for these things - retards are going to be retarded whether I am here or not. It’s like being an arbiter of gravity - shit will still fall down even when you’re off the clock.
cunningcrocodile · 31-35, F
@QuixoticSoul The existence of gravity does not depend on the subjective views of the person experiencing it, they will be effected by it regardless as you say. In contrast to someone being retarded depending entirely on whether they agree with you or not. Thanks for proving my point.

@cunningcrocodile Who said anything about agreeing with anyone? That’s not the criteria. I don’t agree with Hitler, Mao, or Memerson either - but they’re not retarded.

He’d be retarded in a forest where nobody could hear him being retarded too. It’s just his nature.
