People already weren’t taking Spencer seriously, and one of the non-WN Republicans I know thinks Milo essentially fell on his sword to make sure the Left kept saying it hates pedos. I think opinion on Milo may be higher than you think it is.
Additionally, none of these address the root causes of the increasing prominence of White Nationalism, which isn’t just “lol white people are racist”.

If your plan only works if no one ‘interferes’ by arguing on the internet that your efforts are observably counterproductive and unhelpful, then your plan is a colossal failure.
But, seriously, the ‘should you no-platform speakers at colleges’ debate isn’t the ‘punch Nazis’ debate and I think it’s really unhelpful to conflate them. Someone might believe that it’s right to pull fire alarms, scream at the top of your lungs, block cars, etc. in order to make sure that, say, trans-exclusionary feminists can’t give a talk at their college, while also believing that bludgeoning purported Nazis is a terrible idea. “Does suppressing speeches on college campuses and in other public arenas by having violent demonstrations against them work?” is the question I am discussing in that post, and as you correctly observe, “no, that fails to suppress the speech” is not an answer to a wide variety of unrelated questions.
When I write posts about whether punching Nazis is a good idea then you are welcome to spam me with hysterical anons claiming that I love Nazis, am personally a liberal fascist, am responsible for the rise of the Third Reich, etcetera etcetera, but when that’s also your response to ‘no-platforming fails because of the Streisand effect’ then someone might conclude that’s just your default response to literally any dissent, you know?
As always I am proudly and openly committing to interfering with street violence against unarmed people, organized brutality of every kind, and the spread of dishonest, misguided, and nonsensical information about how a society can fight violent extremism. Yes, I will interfere. Yes, I do interfere. Yes, I will persuade everyone that I possibly can to interfere alongside me.

Oh, geez, all this complaining about the Wall. Guys, Americans have wanted lower immigration for some time, but the leadership betrayed this desire repeatedly. The Wall isn’t some vanity project, it’s the reaction to this repeated behavior in a way that is easily measurable and cannot be easily sabotaged.
Yes, camera drones would have been cheaper and ecologically better, but y'all complainers already ruined that possibility since you’d dismantle the program the moment he left office and we all know it. Sanctuary cities mean you have no credibility to signal cooperation.
the way colonial societies resolved these mental tensions in the past was by telling themselves that the Indigenous population would naturally die out (while helping the “natural” process along a bit, if necessary) resulting in the new settlers inheriting the mantle of rightful occupiers and doing a better job of it.
there’s a steaming dose of Just World hypothesis in this, and a big chunk of the ersatz Darwinian chain of being idea, where god or nature had given various groups a shot at occupying particular areas and some of them just weren’t good enough and sadly but inevitably they would diminish like Tolkien’s elves and be replaced by hard-working Anglos or whatever and this was just The Plan.
a lot of the debate at the time was between the people who thought that the pesky natives should be done away with as soon as possible, and the gentle folk who thought that the pesky natives should be cared for and converted to christianity before their inevitable demise.
of course it didn’t turn out that way: we don’t know exactly how many Aboriginal people lived in Australia in 1788 when the British showed up, but it was probably not that far off the number living in Australia today, and the two populations have never been more estranged.
White people will die off and be replaced by more-deserving diverse populations… …wait a minute, why does that sound familiar…
The Lord said, “If I find fifty righteous startups in Silicon Valley, I will spare the whole place for their sake.” Then Abraham spoke up again: “Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, though I am nothing but dust and ashes, what if the number of the righteous is five less than fifty? Will you destroy the whole city for lack of five startups?” // “If I find forty-five there,” God said, “I will not destroy it.”
…
The two venture capitalists arrived at Palo Alto in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gateway of the city. … They did go with him and entered his $0.9m one-bedroom home. He prepared a meal for them, baking bread without gluten, and they ate. Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of Silicon Valley—both young and old—surrounded the house. They called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can pitch our startups to them.”
I don’t understand how the woke consensus came to be that explaining repressive norms or policies in terms of religion is taboo and explaining them in terms of culture is acceptable.
simple: blaming Islam would implicate American Muslims, blaming local culture would not.
It’s actually slightly surprising everyone was so willing to jump on the anti-Muslim bandwagon after 9/11 instead of the anti-Arab bandwagon, especially considering that was exactly what Osama bin Laden was attempting to do.
Well let’s be honest here, it wasn’t Arab Atheists that did 9/11.

Sword-swinging mercenaries who admire the hell out of their sister-in-law’s delicate, painstaking embroidery. Mages who find their experience with running a household helps them organize and control their magic. Desperate rebels who know they are absolutely dependent on the women who cook and mend and care for the wounded.
I am so bored of heroines who sneer at ‘womanly’ things and complain of the uselessness of embroidery. Your average medieval kingdom wouldn’t last a week without people doing women’s work.
I wonder, is this artifact where it’s devalued in part due to atomic individualism? Female-coded work is necessary for the maintenance of families and societies, especially in the agregate, but it lacks the star power of the highest-status masculine-coded work.
Imagine being so socially clueless that you can’t discuss eugenics at the dinner table in a manner that doesn’t upset everyone.
Stick to talking about why inbreeding is bad, and you too can discuss eugenics at the dinner table. Not that anyone else will realize it’s eugenics.
