That's like saying that we are much better off with the alt-right having access to to the media and considered a viable voice in the conversation.

The problem I have with Peter is the same problem I have with Corsi. Both spend way too much time arguing over philosophy and definition rather than the issue itself. Define you term and move on. Bickering over your interpretation of the meaning of a word, or whether your philosophical position is more accurate than the next guy, is counterproductive to good conversation or rhetoric. Groupthink has nothing to do it. It has everything to distraction and obfuscation from the actual issues being discussed. I welcome Peter's intellect. His ability to derail a thread with a banal argument of the abstract is just annoying and unnecessary.
