my fellow liberal cucktards and white-genocide lesbians! the deplorables have risen, and what are we gonna do about it?

cf men's rights thread, that's racist thread, batshit cartoons thread, donald trump thread etc

"Hitlers" gives them the power they want. We don't want any of these people to start the Siege of Leningrad.

They have the courage to actually say what everyone's thinking, unlike what-used-to-be-mainstream PC cuckservatives?

Spiritual Hat Minimalism (Sund4r), Thursday, 6 October 2016 13:13 (nine years ago)

They use new forms of dehumanizing slang -- not just old fashioned slurs -- which is pretty alt.

Treeship, Thursday, 6 October 2016 13:38 (nine years ago)

what gets me is - what is their culture? what is their art? what do they even like?

imago, Thursday, 6 October 2016 13:49 (nine years ago)

They're an alternative to US right wing consensus - instead of being pro free markets, pro Christian morality or pro strong defense they are just pro white nationalism. This obviously isn't /new/ but it is untraditional in the US and has (and continues?) to be a marginal movement. Their culture is on /b/ and maybe idk theredpill. It's memes, vidya, anime, gore pics, creepypasta, cruel lolz, cringe, and tons and tons of pr0n.

Mordy, Thursday, 6 October 2016 13:57 (nine years ago)

a marginal movement

Um, isn't their candidate the Republican nominee for President?

i've been watching million dollar extreme. sometimes it is really really funny, and sometimes it is ideologically okay (like the sketch about our shitty drinking water) and then they just say something openly misogynistic or racist or the sketch is just brutally uncomfortable. idk i'd like to discuss it but i don't have much to say. it's clearly unique, and sam is clearly v smart + funny, and also i'm disappointed in adult swim for giving them a platform.

Mordy, Thursday, 6 October 2016 14:19 (nine years ago)

i don't think fedora is entirely linked. there may be associations/links between fedora/brony culture and the alt-right but generally speaking i think fedoras are more likely to show up in cringe threads than be worn by hardcore white supremacists.

nb that i don't think 4chan is 100% alt-right but i think broadly speaking a lot of the aesthetic comes from there and there's lots of crossover. i wouldn't consider st0rmfr4nt alt-right - that seems more traditionally racist to me.

Well, maybe I'm misunderstanding alt-right. I thought it referred to e.g. Breitbart/Milo Yiannopoulos, who I thought are still more or less pro- a lot of those things as well as being more blatantly racist and nationalistic than, say, Mitt Romney.

my impression of MDE is that it's an elaborate troll on anything and everything, I'm guessing the alt-right probably has claimed him but I dunno if Sam has any real political views besides "lol"

frogbs, Thursday, 6 October 2016 14:54 (nine years ago)

politics for various alt-righters probably differ but on those topics i'd guess the majority are pro-protectionism anti-immigration agnostic on Christian morality (and in many cases ideologically opposed to religious faith) isolationist or in some cases extreme hawkism (drop nukes on the middle east). and of course the central component is defending the race against #whitegenocide. also jew-hating.

it's really not. it jumped on the alt-right bandwagon thru Milo but he started as just an observer and tho the alt-right will pretty much accept any celebrity legitimacy they can get, he remains a controversial figure in the movement (bc he's gay and jewish). he wrote this around the time breitbart began embracing the alt-right: http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2016/03/29/an-establishment-conservatives-guide-to-the-alt-right/ - where you can see that he's interacting w/ them more as an anthropologist than a participant. xxp

FWIW, Berwyn isn't some fancy-pants suburb.

I've got to admit, I've been thinking about that video a lot. It's really terrifying, and it left me feeling that there's no way out of this. Just how utterly contemptuous those people are, just totally disinterested in comity and norms, even more than I suspected or feared. How do you counter that, people just relishing the most base of beliefs being made manifest, other than all the terrible ways it's been confronted in the past?

Kill all the white people now

Black Sabaoth (Boring, Maryland), Tuesday, 22 July 2025 02:58 (nine months ago)

Not exclusively a ‘white people problem’ these days.

Jubilee’s entire business model appears to be based on finding people who don’t know how to behave in public - or more specifically, can’t switch register between online and offline. The ones who can are the bigger danger but this has been kind of a sticking point for a lot of the alt-right, Neo-Nazis over the last couple of years. All these guys who fancy themselves as the next Evola or Yockey but spend the bulk of their time posting based Pepes to their frens and crumble under any kind of irl cross-interrogation.

ShariVari, Tuesday, 22 July 2025 10:28 (nine months ago)

So glad I don’t know who any of those people/things are.

Black Sabaoth (Boring, Maryland), Tuesday, 22 July 2025 15:38 (nine months ago)

That video is psychotic, but I think it's important to keep in mind that it's rage-bait. Like, it certainly points to real and disturbing things in society that these people's brains have been so thoroughly melted and that they feel comfortable expressing their views in a very public forum, but they're still handpicked wackos.

Jordan s/t (Jordan), Tuesday, 22 July 2025 19:22 (nine months ago)

I even described it as rage bait in my revive. But honestly, my fear is there are actually a lot more of those people out there than I thought, which is to say, enough. Some of those people are, of course, utterly psychos, but even the ones that seemed taken aback by the psychos still identify as "far right" and seemed to have no problem being around said psychos. And even the craziest of the craziest in that room seemed to have put a lot of thought into their beliefs, and the scariest thing to me was that when faced with their hypocrisy or contradictions or even racism, a lot of the times. the response was just "I don't care.'
