the alt-right

Fuck that deflated Macy's balloon in his puckered ugly ass mouth.

I shouldn’t be surprised but I’ll never understand why the alt-right isn’t worthy of a moral panic at least on par with video games or heavy metal

because they're on the right wing's side, duh

think about how much panty-twisting has gone on over antifa

yeah I know :-/

quelle surprise

https://www.salon.com/2018/06/30/exclusive-accused-annapolis-shooter-had-deep-dark-links-to-the-alt-right/

have they changed the headline from 'deep, dark links to the alt-right' to just 'dark links to the alt-right'? the article doesn't really seem to contain much evidence of *any* links, tbh

^ and there again silly question but like Peterson isn't Milo meant to be a martyr for free speech so why's he saying journalists should be shot, eh

I do think it's interesting to see this position articulated in plain sight now - a strong valorisation of offense, combined with strong animosity toward people who criticise actual power. This position has been beloved of idiots for a long time obviously but it's not always put so clearly as here.

can we talk about this photo

what is it with right-wing lawyers and their anachronistic facial hair/stylings

You know what it is

It's not just an American phenomenon, this arsehole's been trolling people in Scotland for more years than the Scottish nation cares to remember or admit:

After all, Scottish Protestant bigots are what made the USA what it is today.

I see he's doing an 'audience with' thing at the Edinburgh Festival.

For real I thought that lawyer was this dude who wrote an extremely thoughtful piece about Jay-Z a few months ago: https://www.city-journal.org/contributor/myron-magnet_123

myron... magnet?

no relation to penelope magnet I assume

If he becomes a big deal in magnetic metals he could be 'Magnet Magnate, Magnet'.

damn think my buddy might be alt-right but not copping to it. he's defended every decision trump's made - he's cool otherwise, but god this shit's gonna bungle our friendship. no idea how to deal with it

That’s not “cool otherwise” that’s just a guy who sucks

reporting him to the Elders of Zion fyi

what kind of superheroic extracurricular deeds does a relentless trump supporter doing to qualify as "cool otherwise"?

release 5 shitty albums in 5 weeks, presumably

Are there any gaps in his life that this stuff - Trumpism or alt right or whatever piece of this vibe it is that he's snorting - is filling? That might be the way.

everything is fine

In August 2017, a judge barred him from carrying any weapons, but in November, he posted a video on Facebook telling viewers that he carries a kubotan — a small, high-impact plastic weapon — because of the conditions of his bail.

"This is what I carry on my key chain, guys," he said in the video, which has since been taken down. "I will peel your scalp with this thing ... very, very effective weapon."

love too brag about my crimes on facebook

Shortly thereafter, he was again arrested in December 2017 for operating a vehicle off designated roads (while loudly playing Christmas music) near Fort Funston in San Francisco

;)

Based Shithead

“Chapman was identified by a witness at the bar who recognized him from the previous day's protest footage. Officers also observed surveillance footage of Chapman buying a drink at the bar using his wife's credit card.”

what a beta

maxed all his out on a cash advance to pay his bail, I really hope

white supremacists shocked that white supremacists are terrible

http://www.rightwingwatch.org/post/jason-kessler-tells-alt-right-activists-to-stay-away-from-neo-nazis-at-unite-the-right-2/

eh not really, that's dogwhistle to his nazi compatriots to not be so overt about it (while also explicitly arguing that anyone that *is* overt about it is probably not an actual nazi but is instead an agent provocateur). This has been the standard line from people like Milo and Richard Spencer for years - you can *nudge nudge*/*wink wink* with the Nazi shit, but don't go goose-stepping in yr Nazi LARP gear. It's a PR decision.

if they really thought the other group was so terrible they wouldn't be attending the same events!

exactly

that's basically what I was getting at, yes

Right on. This is pretty much my favorite thing DSA does at this point.
