There are plenty of reputable sources for radical ideas that don't spew antisemitism, antifeminism, racism, and homophobia. I find it impossible to take this seriously as a source for anything at all, it has lost all credibility for me. Like I said, not doubting the Steinem-CIA connection, but there's no point in reading about it on that website.

I think that's a fair perspective in this case, I was put off by much of what is on that site as well, although I would counter that the article from a Hoover Institute scholar that is the original link for this thread is its own brand of "worthless" which people will nevertheless read and refer to.

I did manage to find a Twitter thread with much of the Redstockings' takedown: https://twitter.com/earwulf/status/956306937729245184

Avoiding the genetic fallacy? This would involve a lot more thinking...

Seems hard and also potentially dangerous.

there's a difference: automatically negating ideas due to the proponent would be a fallacy. refusing to take a proponent as a reputable source when they espouse other ridiculous and dangerous things is just common sense

marx espoused ridiculous and dangerous things

i recommend reading him

nice deflection. have a good day
