My book . The rest of my life is enjoyable no more due to depression , but the feeling of creating something , and entire world out of my mind is fascinating . <| sep |> If you were talking about his form earlier in the season where he was getting assists while looking entirely dysfunctional , then yeah I ' d agree , but if you watch the performances over the last few weeks , his passing and tempo are good , his interplay with Ibra and Mata has been incisive and even his understanding with Mkhi was great last night . <| sep |> This was my thoughts exactly . ' Tax the fuckin hell out of Um ' California . <| sep |> I ' ve always disagreed with the don ' t feed the trolls wisdom . It ' s lazy and seems to imply that accepting harassment or toxicity is a better way to get rid of it than directly confronting the issues at hand . I actually like reading about and understanding trolling culture because dismissing trolls risks not understanding important social interplay . For someone advocating more understanding I think you could do to take your own advice . Shedding light on trolling behavior is a discussion worth having because the AltRight uses those tactics as a means of stating a point or at least people who identify as AltRight claim to . I think a fascinating case would be to look at Milo Yiannopoulos . I don ' t mean to say look at him with disdain but rather appreciate what he claims to be doing . Trolling is not a new phenomenon but its manifestation throughout various cultures and various times deserves some critical thought and contextualization . Also I place a lot of importance on personal responsibility . Yes , I worry about the AltRight becoming the monsters we think they are but I don ' t believe in excusing them if they do . I want people to make their stance and I want them to come into the light . You point to the media and Clinton as if they created the AltRight but most of what I have linked talks about the AltRight well before 2016 and 2015 . Also , I think they are raising legitimate concerns that mirror my own . I don ' t see the harm in discussing the AltRight . You say you have no pony in this race but you seem to be worried about the fear mongering . That ' s just how media works . There ' s always something to talk about and overreact to . It ' s how discussions in society play out and the media is just the public stage . You seem to frame it solely as media influencing culture but media itself is influenced by culture . Even look at it from a business perspective . News thrives on viewership and what the public is interested in , therefore they will report on what the public indicates they want to read about . Now to be clear , I ' m not saying it is solely the public that influences the media or vice versa . I believe it to be a much more cyclical connection which means there ' s no true direct relationship on what began where . To me , claiming the media is a problem without looking at the people giving the media power is absolving them of their choices and responsibility . I believe that in a similar way that I think being reactionary is a poor excuse for personal beliefs . I believe most people see themselves as rational . I don ' t inherently see the AltRight or any movement as irrational . I am just stating who I believe the AltRight is and what they stand for based on what I can demonstrably prove by their own words , what I see as reasoned analysis on their emergence , and how different sources report about the AltRight ' s beliefs . There is a lot of corroboration among different sources both Left and Right and Independent about what the AltRight believes and even what AltRight platforms such as Breitbart embrace those analyses . It ' s a compelling case that so many varied and different institutions , pundits , and people have fairly consistent picture of the AltRight to paint . Even if I were to take your stance they are nothing , you said yourself that movements evolve . What is there to show that in just the past few months the movement hasn ' t already evolved instead of being the nebulous , ambiguous , and apparently undefinable entity you are saying it is ? From my view I have more evidence than not showing there is something there rather than nothing . You telling me there isn ' t without something beyond your words just isn ' t a case that will guide me otherwise . Your association of them with the media , trolls , and crazy contrarians doesn ' t show me they are nothing . For the reasons I just stated , I think that ' s something and it ' s something worth looking into . I stand against what I see as the AltRight , no question . I ' m a vocal and obstinate person and I know that comes across in my demeanor online . Make not mistake , however , that I am advocating for pure vilifying of the AltRight . When I call them white nationalists , I ' m not saying that to dismiss their views , I am saying it because it is truly what I believe based on what I know . I don ' t say white nationalists to stop the conversation , I say it because I believe that ' s a conversation worth having . We probably read different outlets and clearly view news and the media in a different light but I have to ask how your broad strokes of the media is any better than the broad strokes you complain of the AltRight ? If you believe media to be the monster it is , aren ' t you going to make them that way if they aren ' t already ? I don ' t ask to be glib or to make a onetoone analogy but I genuinely want to understand . I see the media as a multifaceted and complex part of society and you seem to view it as more monolithic than I do . I think the media ' s interpretation of the AltRight is fair , even Breitbart ' s own analysis has a lot of worthwhile content that actually embraces most of what is already being said .
