The alt-right landscape

Breitbart is very weird in staking out a set of perspectives never before or since recognised as a single unified set, and then projecting a phony attitude that only fools could disagree...

Unz is commendable for including a a vast spectrum of unfashionable opinion, and Taki a narrower spectrum of slightly more outrageous views.

Sailer is the site I agree with most, but he doesn't try to cover topics where he's not comfortable.

Israel is really the acid test, where speaking freely gets you blacklisted.

It seems to me that
even very simple AI
can start making positive contributions to the world political debate,
by virtue of its transparent fairness.

Calculating the number of column-inches
that different media give to different interest groups
is the most obvious approach.

Creating sentence templates that expose the similarities and differences between

"Trump has small hands and funny hair" vs
"Miss World is getting fat"
or
"Blacks should show solidarity with other blacks" vs
"Whites should show solidarity with other whites"
or
"Muslim extremists belong on drone kill-lists" vs
"Jewish extremists belong on drone kill-lists"
or
"Open borders are good for Europe" vs
"Open borders are bad for Israel"
or
"Protectionism is bad for manufacturing" vs
"Protectionism is good for professionals like doctors"
or
"The alt-right media promote fake news stories" vs
"The NYT and WaPo promote fake news stories"

these sorts of semantically-simple moral challenge should be turned into
educational webpages (or whatever platforms offer some promise)
and if they gradually begin to form a cohesive alternative political platform
that's something we badly need.

So for discussions I've started a "Fairplay AI" slack at fairplayai.slack.com

I need your email address if you want an invite.
