The heel turn was always right there in their name!

There was an entirely too short podcast ep of The Daily about why the US govt stopped monitoring/investigating right-wing domestic terrorism and white supremacist groups.

My question is, couldn't they have just asked the SPLC?

vg thread on alt right and adjacent scum during the past year

1/ Off the top of my head?

Five things, really, but I may come back and add more, lol.

The media ecosystem is big enough that we've seen *some* coverage of these issues, but not nearly enough. https://t.co/Tm5K6tfABY

Oregon neo-Nazi Jimmy Marr hospitalized after street fight

Oregon neo-Nazi Jimmy Marr, well known to locals for driving around in a truck painted with swastikas and various white supremacist slogans, was hospitalized Monday following what police described as a “large fight involving multiple people.”

The Corvallis, Oregon, Police Department said in a statement Tuesday afternoon that Marr was taken to the hospital “suffering from a medical event” but that it was “not yet known if the medical event was directly related to the fight.”

Police released few other details, saying that the incident was still under investigation.

he lives in my town, just the worst scumbag imaginable, here's how to support if you want:

He’s probably a prick but being a lawyer for a guy who is a lawyer for Nazis doesn’t necessarily make you a Nazi, just makes you a lawyer

Probably

lmao

These guys's ability to monetize douchery may be their most significant achievement

described himself as a Libertarian, and had even previously dated an operative in the Ron Paul movement. [...] His name was Richard Spencer. To assume that this man would become politically radicalized in the public eye just a few years down the road was beyond my wildest imagination.

Not much of an imagination, then.

who could've predicted someone who admired ron paul would turn out to be a white supremacist

These guys's ability to monetize douchery may be their most significant achievement

Yiannopolous is broke/heavily in debt iirc

Yeah but what a run that was.

ehh in 2007/2008 Ron Paul wasn't really that fringe iirc

I hadn't followed the previous Spencer abuse stuff. It really shouldn't be surprising at all, yet there is still something sort of striking about how he really is exactly what you'd expect him to be.

ehh in 2007/2008 Ron Paul wasn't really that fringe iirc

There's a direct pipeline between Paul stans and open white nationalism.

Which isn't too shocking, given https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2011/12/the-story-behind-ron-pauls-racist-newsletters/250338/

I know that now, but over a decade ago it wasn't what he was widely known for (at least among the libertarian set - one friend - at my high school). but obviously if you're someone like RS the pipeline was there. I think for most people he was the legalize it dude, plus anti-war & taxation. I do remember getting into an argument with this friend about RP being pro-life, though.

the sentence being mocked was written in the present though

sorry my reading comprehension is severely compromised today i have like 3 colds and my hands are covered in gauze

do tell

the buried lede is that Spencer's wife was more knowledgeable on historical stuff and had the horrible views before meeting him, and likely did ghostwriting for him

my knuckles are all fucked up and cracked and dry and bleeding and i have no idea why. i also had food poisoning this weekend. ama

sick sh*t
