He should have kept his mouth shut in the first place!

Yes we must silence those disagree with us...

His problem is he did not know the topics well enough to debate them. He was actually right about some stuff, but this was mixed with ignorance which makes it easy for someone to just discount everything he said.

So you agree that someone with insufficient knowledge on a subject should keep his mouth shut?

JonTron did TWO things you cant do these days. Defend some aspects of white people and not defending everything about non white people. Do one of the two. Not both. That's just death sentence.

Dont forget the 3rd thing: being a racist asshole

Hilarious of you to ignore that tho

I dont think hes a racist...

Yep, we must silence them... and fire them if we can.

wrong answer.

You  must develop the intellectual capacity to actual prove their points wrong. Instead of screaming racist everytime someone challenges what you believe to be true.



psn- tokila

add me, the more the merrier.

yes. The fallacy I see taking place here is because he was wrong or misinformed about some things they discounted everything he said. Some people fail to comprehend that someone that is wrong about some things can still be right about others.

I'll say what I've said elsewhere. Jontron is a real life version of Clayton Bigsby.

Of course, but nobody is attacking him on the right things he said.

I think it is fair to judge a character on the worst things someone did because those are the things that matter most.

Then your bar for what is considered to be a racist is very high. So high in fact that it's almost a meaningless term.

To be fair, it is a very big difference between saying racist things and being racist.

But I guess in this case we can assume that there are some racist tendencies in his personality, be it out of conviction or misinformation.

It would be very bizarre if he decided to go on a debate just to say things that he doesn't believe in.

Being a devil's advocate isn't that bad sometimes.
