Boo hoo, he would cowardly snipe at people such as Auron MacIntyre by unblocking taking a shot and quickly reblocking. He is the rearguard for liberalism.
Things like that are pretty cringe but I wouldnt drop him outright.
Where Lindsay has value is being a relatively "sanitized" red pill dispenser for ClaSsIcAl LiBeRaLs and whatever conservatives and boomers see him.
Where he fails, of course, is still trying to fight for "classical liberalism" but I think his work is invaluable by laying the ground work for people to be more amenable to things that go beyond just that.
Would I be amenable to even listening to Academic Agent or, say, Auron MacIntyre even without stumbling upon Lindsay first? Absolutely not.
Don't punch right. Disagree certainly, but do so politely and cordially instead of calling them "dangerous".
Even people like Styx (who is probably further to the left than Lindsey) understand this and will openly discuss things in good faith with people far to their right without insulting them or telling others that they ought to be disregarded or ignored.
People like Styx disagree with people further to their right all the time. He used to do a show with Paul Ramsey, spoke with Richard Spencer back in the day.
Except he did it all without acting as though they were somehow his enemies.

Punching right can be useful, as it shows the difference between you and those individuals who are more right.
Many would be more comfortable with the left if they called out their own extremes. But they don't, so they drive people right.
