For that matter, someone, say, championing racial equality in some Neo-Nazi online forum (with rational arguments and all) would be considered a troll.
Or a better analogy would be someone asking what principle is used to justify white supremacy might be considered a troll.
Then again, they might not. I've done exactly this (albeit with white supremacist NRX types) and was merely given rational arguments. It was actually quite interesting - I could explicitly pinpoint the place where I disagreed with them [1].
[1] They appealed to "lifeboat ethics", while I believe Singapore and similar multi-ethnic non-democracies provide perfect Moldbuggian counterexample to claims we are in a "lifeboat".
I would be interested in a link to that discussion if you have it.
Also, is a white supremacist NRX type the type that refuses to politely ignore the research on intelligence levels, the heredity thereof, and the observed differences between various races in order to maintain the widely believed fiction that all men are created equal, or are they the irrational, unquestioning tribal kind that just assume clustering together around racial lines is some kind of natural duty, or something else entirely?
It was a private conversation, so I can't link to it.
That particular white supremacist NRX type is the kind that wants to create a whites-only state because they believe that's the only way to have a proper civilization. It's not that they have any particular hostility towards non-whites, it's just that they believe that (due to the aforementioned differences in intelligence levels and cultural behaviors) a high trust civilization can't be created which also includes them.
As I noted, Singapore certainly seems to be a counterexample to this.
Oh well, explanation is quite adequate at any rate, thank you for that.
Yes, I'm familiar with the type, and agree with your rebuttal. Singapore unfortunately is the exception rather than the rule, so I predict that these people are only likely to gain in volume and use large parts of the rest of their word as case in points for their position, with some worryingly recent trends in certain northern european countries with refugee issues acting as jet fuel on the fire.
