Again: this was flagged, but Patrick isn't trying to be inflammatory. I think it's pretty reasonable to suggest that about Torba.

It's not even within a football stadium of being reasonable.

Maybe it'd be more fair to say "whoever's actually managing Gab". Again, see upthread.

I read the thread. It's still not a reasonable thing to say without proof and you don't have any. If I used your logic, it would be entirely acceptable to say youtube supports jihad against the west because it doesn't actively censor Al Qaida recruitment videos. If you had a screenshot of Torba saying he was a Nazi and believed in National Socialism, then it would be reasonable to say.

You sure you want to keep digging into this sewer? I'm sure there's worse we'll find.

I don't think you're going to make yourself any happier trying to litigate this point.

Maybe there's some kind of line that divides "white supremacist who spews Pepe memes and vile anti-Semitism" from "neo-Nazi", but really, does anyone care?

The only thing somebody has to do today to become a "white supremacist who spews Pepe memes and vile anti-Semitism" AND a "neo-Nazi" is vote for Trump. So, more than 51% of the country right there very much care.

Luckily, we don't have to have the argument about whether Trump voters are unfairly treated, because the evidence that Torba is an odious anti-Semite is clear and obvious to all but the willfully blind.
