I think it’s cute, the way he pretends to care about children while at the same time being a supporter of murdering the children of prisoners and taking children away from their parents to put them in concentration camps.

What I know about parenting is this: there are so many different ways it could go wrong and a parent can easily make it worse. You could have 999 bases covered and then your child has a condition or falls into a situation you don’t have covered. The failure to adapt to this can make someone who seems like they’d be an archetypal parent turn monstrous and dogmatic religions like [antiracism](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGJbrLs_8_0) tend to impede adaptation.

Then OTOH the bitter parity is through sheer luck someone like **HD** might avoid any serious landmines in parenting. It is a curious angle for one individual to bring up again and again seeing how he is fairly new to parenting and presumably dropping babies or taking them to the garbage dump are not actual issues. We aren’t talking about his actual parenting experiences yet and I can hardly wait until they happen if he doesn’t suicide by mod.

I feel like **covfefe** is trying to say something, but for the life of me I’m not sure what it is.

Loathsome as he is. Tempting as it is to simply ignore his creeping obsequious support of authoritarianism. Futile as it is to try to change his support for fascist policies. It would be far worse to allow his vile ideology and disingenuous arguments to go unchallenged. Even in this tiny forum, poison like his spreads when it is left unopposed.

The correct opposition involves a banhammer.

We ought not be so quick to ban speech we don’t like. Unless it crosses extreme lines of actively promoting hate & violence, it should be held to scrutiny and exposed to ridicule.

This has nothing whatsoever to do with “speech we don’t like”, and you damn well know it. The man is a disruptive and dishonest troll, and we are under no ethical or moral obligation to watch him do his best to disrupt conversations.

True, but he does posses the curious ability to synthesize and express some of the most vile right wing ideology while presenting it with the thinnest of veneers of civil discourse and legitimate argument. I’m not sure how much of it is innate and how much is pure trolling, but he’s got the _banality of evil_ pretty much nailed down, don’t you think?

There’s no ignorance to correct - just a malicious, nasty troll.
