the alt-right

there's so much information in that article it's difficult to process - what could the possible repercussions be of this information leaking?

I doubt there will be any, it's too labyrinthine, too inside baseball

one more reason to hate Vice, I suppose (not that I needed any more)

bummer :/

the outing of some of the breitbart fellow travelers is interesting and sad

are the actual emails linked anywhere?

a lot of people in my office right now confused and pissed about their journo friends being outed it seems

if these leads to fewer people working with/cooperating with Breitbart that's great

Oh joy!

It's a start.

Maybe I'm being naive but those emails really don't sound like David Auerbach to me. I only follow him on Facebook but it seems so out of character for him!

you're being naïve

he's also tacitly admitted it on twitter

he's disputing it afaict

Doesn't the story say he says 'that wasn't me' after being emailed at the address in the emails?

major bummer if true

everyone is bad, you shouldn't actually like anything

wow @ moldbug watching the election at thiel's house

Not surprised but still hilarious that Bannon misuses "your" in those emails. Also lmao @ "You are magenalia."

magenalia = d&d supplement title

yeah it's a lars von trier/pta collab

The Land of Magenalia

Stealing that one, sorry Babo

No you didn't. https://t.co/xi7XYwTqMg

who would have thought that an industry based on building personality cults would be rife with sociopaths. i'm just glad i have a new reason to give my mom when she asks why i just don't get a job in media—"you raised me too well and i'm not a sociopath"

Huh, turns out the leftist feminists were correct all along.

Again.

Still, I'm sure lessons will be learned.

the Baked Alaska dude is a pretty amusing sidelight to this story, this "alpha male" constantly posting videos of himself getting brutally owned over and over again feels like some kind of performance art

A friend of mine knew him in high school and was not surprised at his general life arc.

was it widely known before this article that milo's stuff is often ghostwritten? don't think i'd heard that before

imagine being so dumb and/or lazy that you don't even write your own shitty copy

It's so awful in a boring way that anyone coudl have written it, including Milo if he wasn't a lazy coked-up monster.

xp man yall are vultures

there was a piece sometime last year about his 44 interns

halfway to 88

In an April 6 email, Allum Bokhari mentioned having had access to an account of Yiannopoulos’s with “a password that began with the word Kristall.” Kristallnacht, an infamous 1938 riot against German Jews carried out by the SA — the paramilitary organization that helped Hitler rise to power — is sometimes considered the beginning of the Holocaust. In a June 2016 email to an assistant, Yiannopoulos shared the password to his email, which began “LongKnives1290.” The Night of the Long Knives was the Nazi purge of the leadership of the SA. The purge famously included Ernst Röhm, the SA’s gay leader. 1290 is the year King Edward I expelled the Jews from England.

lol, he just had to share his edgy private passwords

those passwords don't look v secure imo, milo is bad at online security

password creation tips: make your password your deepest, darkest secret. this will ensure that nobody will ever be able to guess it.

Lots of gamers getting pissed that the marketing for the new Wolfenstein game is blatantly anti-Nazi.

yeah, we're talking about that a bit over on the videogame racism/sexism thread

milo is bad at everything except getting attention. remember his first foray into media world fame?

https://www.theguardian.com/media/2013/mar/01/the-kernel

I see one of the intellectual godfathers of this whole mess is finding an elusive next level

Hitler was NOT anti-gay. He refused to purge gay Brownshirts from Nazi ranks saying he had no problem as long as they were good fighters

how dare you smear the name of Adolph Hitler

i could have posted this to any number of current threads right now but might as well stick it here. what's really creepy about the alt-right, about the revelations in recent days, about the movement in general, is the self-satisfied gleefulness of the hatred and the manner in which these people thrive on making others feel subhuman, which by itself has always been around but now people are more willing to put their names and faces out there and not hide behind online personas as much. the alt-right figureheads are throwing chum into the water and seeing who flocks to them and organizing from there.

and about the lying fake news claiming he "only has one ball"...

Fucking weird tweet. I can't tell if Dinesh is just randomly praising Hitler or if that's part of his current campaign to associate the left with fascism, i.e. being not anti-gay is a left-wing thing and Hitler wasn't anti-gay, therefore Hitler was left-wing.

(obviously Hitler was in fact anti-gay)
