My favorite thing is when some fucko with a username like that and a vehement post history full of inflammatory white supremacist bullshit argues that their clear perspective should have no bearing in the argument they're making in whatever thread

With brackets to group related bits:
(My favorite thing) is {when [some fucko with (a username like that and a vehement post history full of inflammatory white supremacist bullshit)] argues that [their clear perspective should have no bearing in the argument they're making (in whatever thread)]}.
Alternatively, simpled up:

They argue that you should only consider the argument they're making in the thread they're currently in, and not that three comments before they were calling somebody a "cum-guzzling faggot" in a racist sub for interrupting the circlejerk.

How would *you* like it if people ascribed qualities or connotations of being associated with negative groups based on your ethnicity, race or religious background?"
