For those who don't understand the difference: Platforming someone to debate them and rebut their ideas for a wide audience is good. A great example of this would be the debate Coleman Hughes did with Dave Smith, in which he systematically dismantled Smith's narrative:

The crowd Smith runs with is stacked with crazed conspiracy theorists, self-confessed Nazi apologists, Hitler defenders, and Holocaust deniers.

I’m not sure which disgusts me more, the idea that he might actually believe this or the idea that he’s doing this for attention. What a freaking loser. It’s it’s embarrassing.
Nick Fuentes: "Hitler was right. Hitler is awesome. Holocaust didn't happen" People who are possessed by demons listen to this devil.

The amount of crying the left are doing about me calling Hipkins "ChipOcrite" is hilarious. It is not mocking his appearance, it is mocking his propensity for hypocrisy. Toughen up, petals.
@aniobrien Yesterday Joseph Mooney criticised the left for using name calling, and made assertions that is how the left operate rather than debating the facts. "ChipOcrite" is an Ad Hominem attack on Chris Hipkins 😅.

"The NZ Human Rights Review Tribunal seems frightened of scrutiny. A body charged with defending human rights should stand up for the principle of open justice, which is crucial to a functioning democracy, rather than hiding behind bureaucracy to close reporting down."

Five minutes of Nick Fuentes saying things so unbelievably batshit crazy, yet some in the GOP still think it’s a bad idea to distance themselves from this. Heavy Language Warning ⛔️
No to the groypers. No to cowards like Tucker Carlson, who normalize their trash. No to those who champion them. No to demoralization. No to bigotry and anti-meritocratic horseshit. No to anti-Americanism. No.

I find it fascinating that although anti-semitism is a poison affecting both far-left & far-right, in the USA in particular, the right is willing to fight it and the left celebrates it.

Ben Shapiro has officially launched a full-scale war against the Woke Right, taking aim at the Groypers, Nick Fuentes, and above all, Tucker Carlson.

Now Hipkins is demanding that David Seymour be disciplined for calling him "that simple man". He is the tattle-tale sibling that narks on everyone and no one wants to play with.

In the last 7 weeks, Green Party MPs’ Chloe Swarbrick, Lawrence Xu-Nan and now Marama Davidson, have all flown to London. A return flight from Auckland to London is 36,000 km. Swarbrick went to London on an insurance junket despite frequently speaking out against govt lobbyists,
