I wasn't exactly ad-homing POD but giving him the mirror for his own leftist tendency to ad-hom, surely that was obvious? You know any time a leftist wants to shut down a debate they start using certain buzzwords on their opponent like "racist", "sexist" or "homophobe" but there is a very selective technique to it. See this firecracker of a pundit above she is white and she is a woman and the person she was debating in the first video was a black man. So both could claim to the special privilege of being an oppressed person, one for being a woman and the other for being black but also they each could be accused of being an oppressor, one for being white and the other for being a man. So who gets shut down with one of these leftist buzzwords?
Whoever is not a leftist.. See if Tomi Lahren was a leftist chewing out a conservative black man then the leftists will shut him down by calling him sexist but no leftist would shutdown Tomi for being white if she were leftist. As it happens Tomi is a patriot and thus an enemy of the left so her special privilege of being an oppressed person as a woman is rescinded and she is called a racist to shut her down instead.
I pay a compliment to a patriotic pundit and POD is appalled and feels the need to insult her by calling her stupid, noisy and useless so then as an off the cuff thing I shut him down leftist style and call him sexist. See? I just thought it would be fun to give a leftist a taste of their own cheap tricks.
If he wants to insult Milo Hujamoflipolis then I could shut POD down by calling him a homophobe.
It only gets tricky if the person you want to shutdown has all the cards in the oppression deck: black, woman, muslim, gay
and trans-gender but how often does that happen?
On your commentary. It is worth investigating the cause behind all these exceedingly peculiar people like the SJWs and political correctness. There are too many of them now and they are too influential to be ignored whilst at the same time they are too alien to have come out of US culture without an outside influence. The origins of these pests are neither liberal nor american. Even without conservatives like Sind and this Buchanan chap you reference digging up Gramsci, Lukács as the possible source, there are plenty of red fingerprints over the phenomena, the buzzwords and tactics are eerily similar even as they are adapted to a context where the working class have zero reasons to revolt. You want to say Buchanan is not a credible caretaker for this information, that much may be true but neither are you, no leftist of any description is credible on any subject.
Just look at this characterisation of yours of what is being said:
You have Marxists, both Stalinist and not Stalinist Marxists, saying that Marxism is X, and that they are X. You have liberals saying that Marxism is X and that they are not X, but the Marxists are.
Then you have a crazy conspiracy theory saying that Marxism is actually liberalism, and that Marxists are not aware of this, yet also in control of a global conspiracy to run liberalism as dupes to be Marxists. And, also, the legitimate Marxists aren't aware of this because it's actually the liberals that are controlling the Marxists.
This conspiracy (whatever it is) has been working for a hundred years, internationally, connected through every institution in society, without anybody ever slipping up or mentioning it. Even though Marxism is Y, and Marxists and liberals are both Y, though their roles in Y change drastically even in the same sentence depending on what's needed to keep the conspiracy going, so that rightwingers (as always) get to whine about what special victims they are because this convoluted conspiracy theory that only they understand with no traction that collapses with a glance has an emotional attachment.
It's really unbelievable.
That is just the most blatant and purposeful mischaracterisation of the situation as to all by itself ruin any credibility you have for comment on it. Your opinions can only be recognised as utterly worthless, it is inescapable.
