This Sartre quote on anti semites
continues to be more accurate an
assessment of the alt right online than
90% of what's written on them
remarks by anti-semites, all of them absurd:

I hate Jews because they make servants insubordinate, because a
Jewish furrier robbed me, etc." Never believe that anti-
Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their
replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open
to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is
their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly,
since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right
to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving
ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their
interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they
seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate
and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will
abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that
the time for argument is past.
It is not that they are afraid

Funny, this sound like this board talking to xxxx.

I think we'll just have to agree to disagree here.
