Am I supposed to believe he’s speaking truth to power by having constant rage fits on Twitter and appearing on Tucker Carlson?

I don't care if he's speaking truth to power. You just called him a Nazi. You've turned a word that meant "mass murderer and genocide sympathizer" into a meaningless low effort character attack used only when no attacks of substance exist. You've even internalized it. You've desensitized us to it, if we were to one day elect a true Nazi you'd be partly to blame.

Again, I'm not trying to attack you, but you're going to learn one day that the public is tired of constant character attacks. It looks to me like you're going to learn the hard way, when nobody pays any mind to a word you have to say one day.

Side note, that link you linked to is not "holocaust denial", and I'll prove it, I'll quote it directly for you: "Noam Chomsky famously defended a French professor against attempts to have him fired because he questioned Holocaust orthodoxies. People understand Chomsky found the ideas repulsive but academic freedom sacred. That's the noble leftist tradition I support." I don't know how you can interpret that the way you framed it when you linked to it, but I'm beginning to doubt that even you genuinely believe the arguments you're making.
