the alt-right

gotta emphasize that he has a doctorate. which he got from a diploma mill.

I'm a bit late on the Spencer tape thing -- but from reading "Everything you love will burn", the punching actually gave Spencer some street cred within the movement. Prior to it he was seen as a 'suit' not involved in the 'real' movement.

rip big man, heaven needed an extremely stupid white nationalist 'philosopher'

I wish it were because they're cracking down hard on fascism but cracking down on Imagine Dragons is nearly as good

in case anyone wants to do some digging, this is horrifyingly unsurprising

Apparently the entire SQL database of the international neo-fascist Iron March forum (where Atomwaffen first properly organised).

NYC Psychology Professor Secretly Moonlights As White Nationalist Co-Host Of Richard Spencer's Podcast

For years, Joshua Dietz has taught psychology at New York City’s public and private universities. Students at Kingsborough Community College describe him as a “modern professor,” easygoing and informal. He plays guitar in his spare time, and maintains a hypnosis practice in Downtown Brooklyn, providing emotional counseling and “assertiveness training.” He was an adjunct at St. Francis College, just a few blocks away, as recently as last fall.

But when he’s not teaching undergrads or hypnotizing passive men, Dietz is lecturing under another name: Josh Neal, avowed white nationalist and co-host of Richard Spencer’s podcast.

Operating under that thinly-veiled moniker, Dietz hosts the McSpencer Group alongside Spencer, perhaps the best known American neo-Nazi and a founding member of the so-called alt-right. For hours at a time, Dietz and a rotating selection of guests help plot the future of the white identity movement, touching on subjects from eugenics to Kurt Cobain (“a symbol of white displacement”) to the “negrofication” of American culture.

interesting thread

Thread: The booing of Charlie Kirk, Don Jr, and Kimberly Guilfoyle by alt-right activists was the culmination of a month-long campaign that received no press attention.

This debate between Destiny and Nick Fuentes shows how shallow Fuentes's arguments are

Here's a podcast episode that covers Fuentes

Q: Why should this deserve any press attention?

it seems pretty meaningless

xp

i think anytime you see that people on the far-right who have realized that being extremely online and posting about esoteric-hitlerism on their gab account "basedevola" isn't that productive, and that they can appeal to a wide-swathe of white folks with just social conservatism, white nationalism and anti-elite discourse a la steve bannon it's a bit worrying. though it's funny to see toilet paper usa being targeted from the right

Fascinating!

UF student president faces impeachment after “smoking gun” email shows he worked with Trump campaign to pay Trump Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle $50,000 for on campus speeches despite law against using public funds on political campaigns #BecauseFlorida https://t.co/eJcQAuirV9

IMPEACH

The office of UF student president has been shockingly compromised! I say, forget impeachment, but make the fucker pay it all back.

making a mockery of the dignity of office the student body presidency

Imagine helping Don Jr make a buck.

Charlie Kirk and TPUSA running into more trouble over this Fuentes thing

Cool, raging hordes of nazis

i don't understand, who is the bad guy, is it all of them?

corporatist/grifter right being attacked from the right. turns out not so keen on free speech after all

America farts!

re Charlie Kirk, he described this particular fissure best himself

"People who openly identify as white supremacists came to my event tonight

They have no place in the conservative movement"

Trying to walk that tightrope with the "Openly Identify",

We're gonna build a wall again
Paid for by the people of the sun

They rally round the family
With controlling stock in Shell

The work forces / burn crosses lyric stays but with an upbeat inflection

Fuck you, you will do what we tell you!

Who got 'em? Yo, smell the air
All you libtards know the trial was fair
An army of SJWs triggered by my style
Off 'em all out that box, I got spreadsheets to compile!

The Rar Right?

Better switch to zip files.

xp ugh, there are a lot of pickled-brain posh fuckwits who are into Q bollocks, but this guy is the most prominent.

interesting post about the bloomington farmers' market. i do have a general thesis, which the recent takeover (attempted or completed) of a portland area american legion post which briefly gained notoriety for espousing "progressive" values by a well-known alt-right chucklehead who in his day job tries very hard to get fired from the local parks and rec department tracks fairly well with. (ok, diagram that monstrosity of a sentence.)

overall the institutions that stand to suffer most from the recent administration are liberal institutions, which are fundamentally ill-equipped to handle the ideology being openly practiced by those in power. the next few years will see the death of a lot of liberal institutions, i think, and what seems to be replacing them are radical institutions.

FP'd you for racism

Rapper Kanye West announced that he and his Sunday Service choir will take part in Awaken 2020, a prayer rally featuring dominionists Lou Engle, Ché Ahn, Cindy Jacobs and other evangelists that will be held Saturday, Jan. 18 at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, Arizona. According to one report, West’s announcement sparked such a flood of people registering for free tickets that the event website crashed.

Engle teaches that “the church’s vocation is to rule history with God.” He has used his prayer events to call for an end to abortion in America, to mobilize resistance to LGBTQ equality, and to ask God to “remove” pro-choice Supreme Court justices so that President Donald Trump can replace them with justices who will eliminate a right to abortion.

An interesting Twitter thread (could also be filed in the Screaming Into the Void thread, but whatever).

Tips for journalists:

1) Don't simply quote what an extremist tells you. Find an expert or second source to provide a counter view. Otherwise, you're spreading extremist propaganda. An expert can help you identify code words and undercurrents that might not be obvious.

Experts are anti-democratic and anti-First Amendment tho.
