I used to roll with people like that and no, they are not bloodthirsty savages

Fair enough, I have no doubt there are stable individuals that do it purely on the basis of protecting children, improving the community, maybe even rehabilitating the mentally ill.

I was talking more like the YouTube channel People vs. Preds, who seem to be more interested in the money and fame. They escalate for the views and then all their evidence gets denied in court for not taking proper legal steps. The comments on their videos are vile. You can't help but think some of these people are only here because this is the acceptable hate.

And that's the point -- his stereotyping is not a rational argument or a good point, it's meant to remind people of propaganda on the issue they were exposed to all their lives, to trigger an emotional reaction in others, to shut down our critical thinking to lessen the likelihood we'll reject his insane demands.

...what demands?

spend two seconds in a “pedophile hunter” community and tell me this isn’t true.

I was talking more like the YouTube channel People vs. Preds,

No you're not. You're backtracking when called out on a lie. Stop fucking lying.

…what demands?

Yeah, playing stupid won't work with me, chump. We both know damn well what you're doing: using every rhetorical trick in the book to stop the left adopting violence because you and I both know it's the only chance they have of stopping the fascists from taking over the country completely, and you don't want that.

Well, it's not going to work because no one here is dumb enough to fall for it, and for that I am glad.

What

Lol I'm honestly dumbfounded. How do I even respond to such an accusation. I'm just sitting here wasting time on the internet, go fight the good fight brave comrade or whatever.

Yeah, your kind never have anything to say when called out on lying. Mission accomplished. Blocked
