    If Dick Cheney told you he thought wearing a seatbelt was a good idea, you’d argue against him because clearly an idea is bad if a bad person has it.

    Evaluate an argument on its merits, regardless of who endorses it.

      While true, that commenter is a very well known bad actor and provocateur. I recommend against engaging.

      Obviously he’s not, like, a chaos demon. He presumably eats human food and all that.

      But he’s a monster and should be in prison, not giving endorsements. This is like being endorsed by Anders Brevik or some shit.

      She should have rejected the endorsement. Instead she’s embracing him. It’s disgusting.
