RWW Blog on YouTube - Alt-right activist Lauren Southern once accepted a complete stranger's offer to fly her to California only to find out he expected to sleep with her. She blamed "radical feminists," saying that if they had been more "reasonable," she might have listened to their warnings.
She acknowledges and validates every point "the feminists" are making, but then bails with the very tired cliché of "they're just too radical - they want too much too soon - if they could just go a little slower..."
(translating)
"I agree with everything you say, but maintaining my marketability requires me to differentiate myself, so I can never publicly go along with you - I must always always always find a way to make you sound wrong so I can sound right."
And in the end - trying to present herself as thoughtful and open-minded - she runs straight for the Middle Ground Fallacy. "...it was probably half my fault, half theirs, right?"
Which is very much in keeping with the Both Sides requirement.
ie: Your position may have every fact and all of reality going for it, but I have a right to voice my opinion no matter how stupidly false it is, so ... "Alright, we'll call it a draw."
