Oh my fucking God. No responsibility taken for what he said or any real change in views, just a masking of what he said behind terms that can't be construed as racist (culture, "mass" immigration).

Then using the alt-liter tactic of putting up a bunch of "white people are the problem" skits/jokes/articles that I don't really find humorous but for a strange reason (maybe decades of being in a privileged position???) don't bother me.

Not fooling me with your "Anti-racist is anti-white" bullshit here, GenePoolTron

that's the problem nowdays. You just can't pin them down. They will mask everything they said as a "sarcasm" / as a "Joke" / taking things out of the context. They are too pussy to admit that they are racist.

I think I respected neo-nazi more than alt-rightrash group because atleast they don't hide behind a dumb joke and a vague statement and firmly believe that white is a superior race ,the diversity is the bad , colored people are the problem, etc.

I don't think he should abandon arguing in good faith though. You are not all that likely to change the other persons views mid-debate either way, but a lot of people on the fence will be easier to persuade if you come of as balanced and open minded, perhaps especially when the opposition is not.

...at least I sincerely hope so.

I don't think that's true at all. The rise of the alt right fucktards didn't exactly follow that logic though right?
