the alt-right

Lauren Southern is coming to my uni's campus tomorrow.

We don’t want violence; we don’t want harm. But at the end of the day, we’re not opposed to defending ourselves.
This was the same thing one of those angry bald whiteys said in the Vice doco about the original Charlottesville protests. And then he went on to say he'd happily shoot and kill anyone if he had to. While he fussed over his huge stash of guns on his hotel bed.

is she the psycho that blocked refugee boats in the mediterranean?

Holy fuck this is a chilling read: https://www.thedailybeast.com/youtube-trumpkin-and-former-milo-intern-kills-his-own-dad-for-calling-him-a-nazi

Lane Davis told detectives that the fight had started over “whether toddlers could consent to sex or not,”

"Nazi" is too precise a term for these wrong-side-of-everything fuckheads.

He was probably not arguing that they could, if he was also into Pizzagate.

Somewhat reinforces my suspicions about contributors to /r/The_Donald - it would be nice if reddit could somehow sticky this story on there

He was probably not arguing that they could, if he was also into Pizzagate.

nah, probably the dad was arguing that the pizzagate scandal was an insane conspiracy theory and the kid was arguing that toddlers can't consent.

you're assuming that the crazy trump supporter who stabbed him dad to death was having a comprehensible argument

his*

tru

it all sounds like the guy is clearly mentally unwell, big time. that's a really sad story. the moral seems to be if your adult child is living at home and spending too much time on the internet and having episodes, get them help. it's not "a phase."

Yes. She's here to speak about "the Evils of Socialist Authoritarianism and Necessity of Free Speech". http://www.citypages.com/news/alt-right-darling-lauren-southern-to-bring-troll-act-to-university-of-minnesota/

Nothing like utilizing the campus of a huge state school to decry socialism…

Yeah I love seeing RONPAUL/Gary Johnson stickers on cars parked in the lots at the giant land-grant public universities I've worked at.

No, it doesn't. It sounds like this guy is a rage-filled asshole who finally crossed a line he couldn't walk back over.

Mordy OTM, "why are you defending paedophiles" is "why are you pointing out that all I have to argue with is a thick slurry of conspiracy theory, homophobia and anti-semitism" when translated through the crazy wall.

Always suspicious of anyone who kicks up that much of a performative hooha about paedophilia tbh.

the far/fringe right has always preyed on/chewed up the mentally ill in this way, it's fucking disgusting.

Many XPs but i doubt this was a convo with a pro "toddlers can consent" position. it was probably more like:

"the Democrats are raping toddlers at this pizza place."

"I highly doubt that"

"oh so you're saying the toddlers are consenting?"

etc.

nomar - can you link to the tumlr page you found this image? http://78.media.tumblr.com/c6aed4a511529529fea10d4306320105/tumblr_inline_oix6h4Bzdh1tfpjwx_500.jpg

oh yeah chaki tweeted about that a while ago -- and apparently at the drive-in know and don't really care?

I linked that on FB and although the link works if you right-click, it displays as "not found" fwiw

nice work, chaki!

the more light shined on people like that the better.

Reasonable response, imo?

I'm aware this is a little glib, but seriously - CTRL-F 'condemn'

At best he sounds like a chump who was oblivious to how shitty a human being McInnes is.

He doesn't see people, man, he sees glittering glowy clouds that he's naturally curious about.

Okay that's a bit harsh, he's not Wayne Coyne.

'im against violence' .... [thinker emoji]

Lord have mercy on my soul, but i'm still lolling and Phil D's hypothesised marx brothers style dialogue there.

worse than glib imo. i mean do we want to just start writing people's apologies for them? as far as i can tell literally all dfa guy has against him is guilt by association. somebody willing to end his association with the proud boys? yeah i'll kill the fatted calf for him.

for the record, i don't know the band, have never heard any of their songs, honestly don't give a shit about this guy one way or another.

i believe jfk and dont think hes a racist pb. he just seems like a giant dumb dumb, but when the founder of the pbs calls you out as one of their own and you're a famous rock star, i think it's ok to ask "wtf?"

I don't want to write it for him, I do think McInnes as a "Oh he's a friend, his stuff is so un-PC" is a bad look.

The closest he gets to "I fucked up" is "he invited me and regrettably I attended" - or possibly "Unfortunately, my actions have brought me here, and I am deeply heartbroken about it."

Though it might all be a bit moot: http://www.upsetmagazine.com/news/apparently-jesse-f-keeler-death-regular-guest-alt-right-podcast/

Gavin has weighed in on the issue https://www.facebook.com/DeathFromAbove1979/posts/1597541903618265?comment_id=1597760913596364&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R9%22%7D

That Upset piece is confusing. Is it Jesse who said the following?

“I’m excited about Tommy Robinson,” Jesse says in episode 133, in which the former English Defence League leader is also a guest, before going on to discuss Britain’s multiculturalism.
“You’re in Britain by name, anyway,” he says of inexplicably not being able to find a pub in Tommy’s hometown, Luton.
“I have a new theory that maybe these people, is it that social justice warriors have no kids and so they’re not interested in the future? Is that part of it, maybe?
“They’re just thinking that it doesn’t matter if our cultures or our country doesn’t exist anymore because we’re not going to have anyone there? You’re not as concerned?
“Is that why Angela Merkel is such a ‘great person’?”

there's definitely a touch of "I can't be racist I have [x race] (grandfather/father/kids/wife)" in the DFA statement but imho it takes some measure of fortitude to speak out against someone who's been instrumental in your career

In 2010, Lane published a very long paper, “Quantum Cold-Case Mysteries Revisited,” in The General Science Journal, a non-peer-reviewed electronic journal that allows literally anyone to contribute and includes a warning against assuming claims made therein are true or fit “for any purpose or use.”

"I am now saying that I gave this guy the benefit of the doubt but it turned out that was a mistake and he is a scumbag - I hope people will be willing to extend that sentiment to me"

lmao kurt u did it
