the alt-right

"Powne says he's "mystified" by the hate-group listing. "The solution to bad speech is not to shut it down, but to overcome it with more speech," he says."

ok. "you're a hate group". that's speech.

got into a mini discussion on this today on fb.

i can't believe death in june is their top selling artist when there are other legitmate things on Soleilmoon

The Soleilmoon thing is weird because as a label they've only released one limited edition 7" by Death In June. Sad that they've released so many great records by Daniel Menche, Merzbow, and the Legendary Pink Dots, and yet Doug P's pathetic Nazi cosplay strum-along is apparently vastly outselling all those.

Boyd Rice would probably brag that he's been trying to "Make America Great Again" since the 1970's.

No winners in all of this mess :(

the artists in question don't seem to have any products listed on the label's site anymore; dunno if that changed since a couple days ago

oh haha man there's no such thing as an ironic totenkopf

fucker was selling literal SS insignia for this band and says he's "perplexed"

hope all these legitimate acts take their business elsewhere

sorry I'm just furious that this guy was selling death's head pins and claims to be motherfucking "mystified"

so sad that soleil moon frye has been put on the hate list

excellent find

obviously spencer isn't a racist, look how highly he rates BLACK celebration!

trying to remember who it was that recently reiterated that the flirtation with fascist imagery in british late 70s/early 80s acts to be "edgy" was immature and that people should grow the fuck up

...Nevertheless, he maintained that he has been “a lifelong Depeche Mode fan.” It’s a statement borne out by Spencer having done stuff like rank all of the group’s albums on Facebook, his placing of Black Celebration over both Music For The Masses and Violator just one of the many ways in which he is always wrong.

[...]

While it’s perhaps not on the level of Chris Christie being repeatedly spurned by Bruce Springsteen, or Paul Ryan being forced to delete Rage Against The Machine from his “Getting Pumped” gym playlist and replace it with the death rattles of cancer patients, there is always some small, meaningless sliver of joy in seeing a band telling one of its most devoted fans to get fucked. Now if only someone would forward this to New Order’s Peter Hook.

Hasnt the "DIJ are fascists" thing been a thing for a really long time? No one can act suprised about it now, surely.

you know when you know someone and decide to stop hanging out with them because you told them a certain behavior annoys you, and they keep doing it on purpose around you because they think that's funny? that's the DIJ dude and his SS symbols

also my freshman year roommate

A friend of mine is, so he claims anyway, reasonably good friends with ol Dougie P. And seems proud of it too.

he's in australia, right? seems like a good place for unrepentant nazi imagery fetishists to hide out

Ya Adelaide, iirc

has goole or anyone else been keeping up with this ld50 gallery in london story this week

lucia diego was on bbc london radio this morning getting the you poor thing sob story treatment from vanessa feltz

diego's performance not esp convincing but she does seem too stupid/remote from the other figures connected to it

enquirers are directed to dm kantbot on twitter, the site is screencap trolling lib responses, someone claiming to be anissimov is on tumblr encouraging a counter-demo tomorrow

something doesnt add up

I know the full details of the conference were kept semi-secret at the time but it seems odd for this to have kicked off over six months later. I'm not even sure there have been any events there since.

sophie jung reposting ld's remarks in a private fb convo two weeks ago is supposedly what got the ball rolling

https://www.hackneycitizen.co.uk/2017/02/23/benefactor-ld50-art-gallery-denies-interest-involvement-activities/

lovely I've discovered from that that this Michael Anissimov guy lives in my town and sounds like an altright piece of shit

he's altright, ain't nobody worried bout him

now I've fallen into a fucking click hole on amazon of 'neoractionary' survivalist white nationalist kindle only horseshit written by this guy and his ilk.

I'm worried that a pal of mine from high school is a fan of Milo. Not sure it's worth the potential damage to my mental health to confirm though.

i clicked it anyway but that juxtaposition made me lol

Fun podcast interview with Angela Nagle and her taxonomy of these assholes in Jacobin: Paleocons for Porn

https://images.jacobinmag.com/2017/01/issue24-illo-nagle.jpg

re: ld50, it's a weird fucking situation. Diego's statement that the conferences were widely publicized is contested by both the protestors and evidence from a speaker; but if you just wanna hold secret fash meetings, why bother having them in a public space? I'm really confused by what the endgame is here.

Read that as ''secret fetish meetings'' and then tred to parse ''fash'' as short for ''fashion'' before finally remembering which bookmark I'd actually clicked on.

the Nagle interview was good, looking forward to reading the piece

rtc damn i didn't know any of this, never heard of ld50

that tweet about land is pretty funny

kf: nagle has written good things about this zone in the past, i'll have to check that out

I read a few well-intentioned tweets about the need for a left accelerationism

which is pretty much ok, but it really really cannot be called "left accelerationism"

i'd seen some kind of ban wave was afoot on twitter, here's a sympathetic account. it relies heavily on a post at /pol/, so, lol

the usual best guess is that in both tech and management, everything at twtr is seriously halfassed
