This wasn’t the first time Yiannopoulos has been subject to punitive measures on Twitter: Last year, his account lost its blue verification checkmark. In response, he complained to the White House about the supposed violation of his freedom of speech.

Structured ignorance = if this weren't true, there wouldn't be a couple of newspapers and a dozen blogs and a news TV channel (and a school textbook) that tells me it's true.

http://www.koreabang.com/2016/features/the-rise-of-radical-korean-feminist-community-megalia.html
Recent story about a voice actress being fired for wearing an ordinary feminist t-shirt but some are saying it's about the group who sell the shirts. A satiric feminist group that has done a lot of good but divided up into different splinter groups have been accused of all sorts of harassment, death threats, defending a paedophile, racism and outing homosexuals. Some say this is all satire or just lies spread by the extreme men's groups but the one about homosexuals seems to be true of some of the factions. A lot of this stuff is in the comments, I haven't read it all closely so I don't know what to make of it all but if it is absurdly extreme satire that lots of people are misinterpreting, it seems like a really risky way to combat the men's groups and misogyny in general.

i buy it tho idk if the recruiters were real (or even necessary) it's not like you need some special corruption to rediscover nazism all the ingredients (anger, self-loathing, fear, anonymity, cultural incrimination, cruel sarcastic humor, alienation) were there. nazism isn't like life where we haven't quite figured out abiogenesis yet - ppl throughout history have continually rediscovered bigotry. the whole "recruiter" idea smacks of apologism to me - oh, /our/ kids would never learn racism + anti-semitism + sexism if it weren't for those stormfront secret agents. but like their fucking parents told racist jokes at the dinner table and their dads shared inappropriate sexist jokes w/ their teenage sons - that's where this shit came from. ffs their parents voted for trump at a greater rate than their kids did. the only difference is that the parents lived close enough to the holocaust and the civil rights movement that they were still ashamed enough to mostly keep this shit on the down low (if even - i mean haven't u all heard some older white dude say some inappropriate shit to u bc they thought you were sympatico?) and their kids lived in a world where it seemed like these marginalized groups were doing okay - if not even better than they themselves (of course self-pity has always been a part of this toxic mix) - and besides fuck hypocrisy, dad, we should tell the truth about these fucking jews, etc.

imo he "recruiters" weren't actual new-nazi orgs or whatever tapping this resource, but people who were already strongly racist to the extent they blame their own problems on other, specific groups. from there it's just connecting the dots from shitting on everyone and being "edgy" to specific targets
― mh 😏, Sunday, 5 February 2017 15:44 (seven years ago) link
sheesh, neo-nazi, I mean. you get the gist
Yeah I wasn't taking the "recruiting" bit as fundamentally organized or programmatic so much as thinking the web is permeated with these shit-heels and amongst the angrier manchildren of the nerd communities they found a fertile matrix first to tolerate then to grow their politics
― sheer presence, look and size (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 5 February 2017 16:07 (seven years ago) link
I remember a couple dudes I knew in high school who were practically wandering around looking to get recruited for something-or-another and they weren't even that socially awkward.
― mh 😏, Sunday, 5 February 2017 16:13 (seven years ago) link
the faux-racism/-sexism that gets played up as being "edgy" isn't new, it's a long standing tactic used by people who have a vague grasp on their own identities defining themselves through exclusion

there is this fixation these days with thinking that media shapes people. the internet stirs up extremism, the media's job is to influence popular opinion, fake news made people vote wrong, etc. i don't think violent movies/videogames/websites generally make people any more or less violent than they would be if they had some other media to express their violent tendencies. those tendencies are created more at home, by the behavior of their relatives, by their environment, by biological lottery, by familial genetic peculiarities, by the mental health spectrum, etc. everyone has a different experience growing up, and some people are exposed to violent things irl.
as for social awkwardness, it is an error to conflate that with anti-social behavior, and dangerous to couple that with tendencies towards extremism. there is a spectrum of social awkwardness, just as there is a spectrum of mental health. it is unfortunate that a modern (and ancient) solution to many problems is labeling the accused "mentally ill" and discard the problem, as if applying that label absolves any responsibility to then treat that person as a normal human. mental health (and disaba-phobia) is not just a medical issue it is a social justice issue and we've got a long way to go but it will be extremely worth it when we make progress - maybe we will find it is a root cause of many of our problems. besides captialism/over-medication doesn't seem to be doing us any favors.

My experience with this is:
a) someone my own age says some offensive, horrifying shit to a white person with me because they forgot I'm not whiteb) someone my own age says some offensive, horrifying shit to someone who looks like me and then says "oh I don't mean you, you're one of the good ones"
― ornate orchestral arrangements (DJP), Tuesday, 14 February 2017 15:33 (seven years ago) link
or c) someone my own age says some offensive, horrifying shit to me because they want to put me in my place, but that hasn't happened in a while
i've heard multiple variants of the phrase "he jewed me down on the price" from acquaintances my age (all from smaller towns or weird exurban enclaves) and the thing that kills me is that confronting them is usually some sort of "what do you mean I said something that... oh"
