Now, I don't usually recommend this
sort of dialectical response to a rhetorical attack like the one cited here.
However, for those who are sufficiently bilingual in the black arts of
philosophical persuasion, this may be a useful example of how to turn an
attacker's rhetorical assault against him.
Notice how he initially attacks Point 14, but when called on his implicit endorsement of their negation, refuses to directly answer what aspect of it he opposes. This is what I mean by dialectic being useful for exposing pseudo-dialectic for rhetorical purposes.
It's a little confusing, I know, but don't be misled. This is, from start to finish, a rhetorical engagement. I am merely using dialectic as a rhetorical device to expose and manipulate him into publicly discrediting himself.

Awful attempt by (((@CathyYoung63))) to critique my #AltRight platform. She calls the West "a mongrel culture".
Charles Ledley @ialmctt
You saw awful, but most would say accurate. @CathyYoung63 has nailed it. The #AltRight are nazis, pure and simple.

Here, @voxday means the Jews. (screencap of 10)
Charles Ledley @ialmctt
Here, @voxday uses that well known scientific term: sub-species. No racism to see here. Move along. (screencap of 15)

#WhatIsTheAltRight?
Well, the #AltRight are white supremacists. Isn't that right, @voxday?
Supreme Dark Lord @voxday
Some are, most aren't. I'm an Indian. What part of this do you oppose? "We must secure the existence of white people and a future for white children"?
Charles Ledley @ialmctt
So you are a white supremacist then. Just another reactionary nazi.
Charles Ledley @ialmctt
You are, it seems. And no, I don't oppose the existence of PEOPLE.
Supreme Dark Lord @voxday
No, Charlie, I am not. I am an Indian who believes that the continued existence of white people is desirable. Why do you disagree?
Charles Ledley @ialmctt
Stop being disingenuous. It's a well known White Supremacist slogan. You know that.
Supreme Dark Lord @voxday
Answer the question. What part of it do you oppose? All of it? None of it?
Charles Ledley@ialmctt
I'll answer it if you acknowledge that it's a well known white supremacist slogan. Do you acknowledge that?
Supreme Dark Lord @voxday
Of course. That's why it is point 14. Now, answer the question. Do you support all of the 14 words, some of them, or none of them?
Charles Ledley @ialmctt
I've answered this.
Supreme Dark Lord @voxday
No, you didn't. This is going on the blog, so don't be evasive. Which of the 14 words do you disagree with, if any?
Charles Ledley @ialmctt
Put what you like on your blog. I answered your question
He didn't, of course, and we all know why. If he actually answered it, he would either be liable to his own charge of being a white supremacist for endorsing the continued existence of white people or he would be put on the record for calling openly for the extermination of the white races.
I believe this should settle the debate about whether Point 14 belongs on the list of core Alt-Right principles or not in favor of the affirmative.
