Chris Kluwe and Mercedes Carrera debated on the Pakman show. This may sound weird, but I almost always go into these interviews rooting for Chris. I see the echo chamber going on on their side and I worry frequently that I may be experiencing the same thing; I imagine that maybe I can't see GG for what it is and am legitimately supporting what everyone else can clearly see is a hate group. I really loathe groupthink and don't ever want to be a part of it.
But then within five minutes, Kluwe is a raging asshole and my fears are allayed. There were a few times I thought he started to make a good point that contradicted what I thought I knew, but then he'd say something so smug and pseudo-intellectual that my ears would shut off.
Mercedes is classier than 99% of people, male or female and--though I can tell she gets frustrated and isn't a seasoned debater--exhibits impressive self control and logic. She's really made me abandon my prejudices against pornstars. What a fascinating woman.
