lol, what a turd
Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes goes on Newsmax TV to distance himself from members of his group who attacked protestors Saturday night in NYC. He says he doesn't "control these guys," and "I'm the founder, not the leader." https://t.co/8PWoRqwUfA— Nick Martin (@nickmartin) October 15, 2018

Please share this video. People need to understand how dangerous Gavin McInnes and his gang the Proud Boys are.Notify his employers @CRTV and @FoxNews. Maybe we can prevent him from getting someone else killed. pic.twitter.com/zp0VBrmciR— Vic Berger IV (@VicBergerIV) October 17, 2018

I agree with her overall analysis. And prohibitions definitely seeve a group bonding function for all sorts of groups—it’s not necessarily a bad thing.

idk it makes more sense than Jews being a bunch of people who just happened to not like pork and shellfish
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 23 October 2018 22:50 (five years ago) link
you're being facetious
Do we know why those laws came into practice? No. Do they as function as a set of behaviours that sets Jews apart as a distinct group? Absolutely
― Number None, Tuesday, 23 October 2018 22:54 (five years ago) link
Not sure she claimed that. Seemed more like dietary restrictions were one kind of social practice that helped bind the Jewish community through the years. Not the only one.

A worthwhile Twitter thread from David Neiwert.
1) For some reason, folks on the right have extremely short memories when it comes to acts of right-wing political violence. This is especially the case when they are in the middle of a propaganda campaign to make "the left" look violent.

During my three months inside New York’s alt-right, The Daily Stormer Book Club never got around to reading any books. Instead, they plotted their move off the internet and onto the streets, drank beer, and shot the shit. Through the Book Club I entered a network of far-right activists integrating the old guard of white nationalism with millennial internet trolls while drawing new recruits from the websites and podcasts of online youth culture. Much of their shadowy organizing happens openly in New York City bars, sometimes within earshot of the normies.

The Portland paper controlled by Orange County conservative types ran this lovely op-ed today by a Scaife/Devos-funded rightwing thinktank alum:
We will be announcing actions and responses to the recent decisions by @Oregonian shortly. Freedom of the press is something we should all cherish but that does not mean their speech should be free of criticism.

am interested in hearing what their actions and responses might entail - there's a lot of knee-jerk "but freedom of the press" response to any criticism of anything that passes (as the oregonian unfortunately does) for "mainstream media".

Oregonian Editorial page Editor Laura Gunderson admitted fault today in choosing the headline to Sunday's column—and also over its timing. (It was printed the morning after an anti-Semitic gunman killed 11 people in a Pittsburgh synagogue.)"It would have benefited, in hindsight, with more context from Gibson's Portland protests," she wrote in a statement to local media. "We wrote the headline, not Hovde, and it missed the mark. We also regret the timing of the column, which was edited on the Friday before the shootings in Pittsburgh."

No talk of Deeyah Khan's White Right: Meeting The Enemy? I saw it a few months ago and it's good. If I recall correctly it's 6 Nazis and 2 former Nazis interviewed. A lot of them look visibly uncomfortable and a couple definitely soften (but they're still extremists for sure) but Richard Spencer acts like a cartoon villain throughout (but he was never interviewed alone, always with his guys).
It's on Netflix along with her earlier film, Jihad.
