I am worried about Jews controlling the media and Hollywood. I would be worried if Mormons did the same. Or Catholics.
No one particular demographic should be in control of all that power.
And why is it that google is not helpful when I try to look up this answer? Why am I pushed to add sites with spurious clams about Jews controlling 96% of the world's media instead of something like TheHill breaking down the facts? Is this topic so taboo that we can't talk about it?

I'm sure I've come across a few posters, either here or a boxing message board I frequent, defending Spencer. The discussions typically devolved into comparing and contrasting alt-right white supremacists and Antifa.
Personally, I avoid getting snared in the trap of getting mistaken for defending Spencer due to defending the right as a whole by clarifying that Spencer doesn't represent my views or values so I feel no need to justify my right-wingerness to lefties.

Yeah, either this is from your boxing forum or it was some dumb shit posting by a guy like Kurk. Nobody on this forum is legitimately defending Richard Spencer 👆

Or a defense of the right as a whole by saying the left also has its baggage?Personally, I avoid getting snared in the trap of getting mistaken for defending Spencer due to defending the right as a whole by clarifying that Spencer doesn't represent my views or values so I feel no need to justify my right-wingerness to lefties.
Yeah, defending Richard Spencer would be...defending Richard Spencer. As in, Richard Spencer himself says or does a thing and somebody attempts to defend what he said or did. Some discussion on antifa vs alt right is no more a defense of Spencer than it is a defense of antifa(it also does not make one look somehow morally superior to be defending Antifa)

That is not much of a defense if you vote the same. It is like all of the Republicans who denounce Trump, but then vote for all his policies.
