Whitesplaining
I removed this section. The tone is waaay overblown and the evidence is skimpy:

His statements aren't in-and-of-themselves racist. He doesn't invoke the noble savage myth -- he rejects it. If Allsup is correct that violence was higher in Native American societies than it is 500 years later, his statement that "standard of living" improved isn't on-face incorrect.

Why is the statement shitty? Because it implies that genocide, enslavement, and assimilation are justified if, many generations later, descendants of the oppressed have longer lives and higher incomes. Because it implies that the oppressors intended this increase of standard of living. The implications are terrible -- not Allsup's statement itself.

We do no justice to skepticism with the rebuttal as-is. 06:24, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Additionally, "whitesplaining" and "mansplaining" aren't useful terms especially when discussing a white nationalist. They obviously don't give a shit if they're whitesplaining. Moreover, ignoring or demeaning a person's opinion because of their identity (here, their race) is, to me, fundamentally wrong.  06:26, 6 December 2017 (UTC)

You don't seem to get the point. As a person of indigenous descent (I'm, as my username suggests, Native Hawaiian), this is essentially a justification for taking our land away and treating us like second-class citizens. Allsup is essentially implying that we couldn't have had a higher standard of living than the Europeans gave us because we're stupid animals (this, by the way, is a guy who believes in myths about race and IQ)

White splaining is a term when a privileged person (namely a white person like Allsup) assumes he knows more about a person's experience because he's white. This is not saying people should shut up because they're privileged, it simply means he's condescending a person of color (me) by assuming he knows my history better.

 * What you posted here is a far better critique than you posted to the page itself. Before, for example, you stated that he invoked the "noble savage" myth -- when he rejected this noble savage myth and instead implied that Native Americans were "stupid animals".
 * Whitesplaining as you're using it still isn't directly relevant: he's not claiming or implying better knowledge of Native American history than Native Americans (though he certainly is condescending). He's just wrong. 16:23, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

“Whitesplaining” is not a real term. It is a fictitious SJW term for people on the far left to try to downplay someone’s argue just because they’re white. Ironically, the people who say terms like “whitesplaining” and “mansplaining” claim to be anti-racism and sexism, yet use such obvious idiotic terms in a racist and sexist manner. And people wonder why the left is getting hated on. AIDS Skrillex (talk) 06:16, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

Alt-right terminology
Words like cuck, soy boy, and degeneracy are not indicative of being alt-right nor are they exclusively alt-right terminology. There are many people who use these words that merely identify as conservative or anti-SJW. &mdash; Unsigned, by: GreenPython / talk / contribs
 * So... I feel like you don't quite get what the Alt-right is/was. This basically all the far-right groups under one banner. Gamergate, the Manosphere, "anti-SJWs", neo-nazis, etc. So... Yeah. You're wrong. 21:14, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

First Time at RationalWiki
This is my first visit to this website, and, wow, your articles are horribly biased. Maybe I don't get it..maybe this is just a parody of Wikipedia. In any case, I won't be back. I was looking for a useful and intelligent alternative to Wikipedia, and this ain't it.
