SenorOcho and DrPete, I think you're both talking past each other to one degree or another.
SenorOcho, I don't think there's anything objectionable to VoxDay giving DrPete the willies. VoxDay gives me the willies, and I consider myself an American nationalist, but in that I mean in the old-fashioned melting-pot way where anybody from anywhere can join us to become an American, and in the way of emphasizing the positive of America, not stressing the negatives of non-Americans. While I'm sympathetic to many of the criticisms of Critical Theory/Intersectionality that many make (including VoxDay), I want no part of what VoxDay proposes as to what America should become. I read his Alt-Right manifesto and it's straight up racist, arguing for each ethnic racial group to have a pure homeland. So when DrPete got concerned by VoxDay's participation I don't blame him. However, DrPete eventually concluded to not boycott the KS, but to stay engaged with the KS, and even started a new effort to counter VoxDay’s efforts. While some have quit the KS in an attempt to force Alex to kick VoxDay from the KS, that's not DrPete.
I do agree that it's better to engage and debate with viewpoints you hate, even loathe. Trying to push viewpoints underground wind up festering and becoming more damaging in my opinion. There's also the problem that once you start trying to force viewpoints underground it often becomes and unending search for targets as more and more viewpoints become unacceptable. The revolution winds up eating its own.
DrPete, in terms of the KS, what racist speech has been said on this board? (I'm sure somewhere on the internet someone is saying something racist in some connection to ACKS, but I can't scan the entire internet.) What racist speech here has been cut slack? The desire to ostracize viewpoints and people associated with them to even the slightest degree taken to ridiculous extents. PETA is currently trying to liken me to a Nazi due to the fact that I drink milk. I don't care if some nazis somewhere also likes milk, that's not going to stop me from drinking it, and to try to associate me with Nazis because of that is disgusting. By that standard a lot is going to get forbidden by polite society. I don't care that some Nazis decided to make milk “their” symbol. Actually, it's not their symbol except for the silly ninnies like PETA that decide to agree with the Nazis that milk is now their symbol. The sane thing is for everyone to realize that the Nazis are being stupid again. I'm not going to let the fact that VoxDay likes ACKS preclude me from also supporting ACKS. I am trusting that Alex is going to keep VoxDay’s contributions appropriate to ACKS and not let it veer off into “hate porn” of some sort. VoxDay is having a villainous class created, so I expect the artwork might depict some evil deeds, but that's what the bad guys do. If proposed artwork depicted actual lefty activists getting murdered I believe Alex has said that would cross a line and he would not allow it as that doesn't fit within ACKS. I don't blame you for being concerned about this, and getting a clarification.
I don't agree entirely with Alex’s position on whom he deals with, but that's his position. He explained why he has it, and I understand why he does even though I don't agree. If this was my platform I wouldn't associate in any with VoxDay or Communists. But we’re talking about Alex’s platform, and I'm not going to start demanding that he let only certain people participate on his platform. I'm also not going to shut down anyone that has concerns (but aren't looking to shut down someone else themselves) regarding some of the people that show up.
