Neo Nazis and the Alt Right

There is no violin small enough.

These guys even make shitty Nazis. At least the actual ones had some stones.

Pretty good article in the WaPo today raising the point that the Internet does as good a job radicalizing dumbfucks to be Nazis as it does ISIS members, despite coming from seemingly stable homes.

Yeah, the Internet is an amazing tool but like all tools there are ways it can be used that are, shall we say, less than helpful. It certainly allows you to latch onto a firehose of information specifically tailored to reinforce and support any particular belief you might have, and that in turn makes it really easy to convince yourself that what you think is the gospel truth–after all, everyone you are interacting with believes the same thing! And the anonymity and ease of fabricating information, personal histories, or whatever means that pretty much every bad thing you can imagine gets its area of focus, along with the good stuff.

This is a sign that some folks will change. I think there will be enough folks to take this country back, even if we don’t get the victory we want.

That said, I do think there is going to be a hardcore base that isn’t going to die off, just talking to some people I know here convinces me of that- they’re doubling down even more, even if they’re saying they despise Nazis- they just see the left as the Nazis and as the left gets more strident and militant by necessiity they’re going to double down as well.

The key right now is to avoid giving any ammo to the Nazis to allow them to start false equivalence arguments.

That’s the problem , they seem to be willing to tolerate false positives, and that’s completely unacceptable.

I’m German. Ok, actually I’m a proud USA mutt but my maternal grandmother and grandfather came over in the late 1930s because they saw the writing on the wall and were ashamed of the government. While my grandmother never, ever spoke of the German government she was extremely proud to be German. She always said German chocolate was the best, American chocolate was crap, German appliances were better, American appliances were crap, etc. But she was not proud of the people that stayed that were Nazi party members.

You can be proud of something while being ashamed of parts of it. It’s not an either or proposition. Its ok to be from the South and be proud of ancestors who lived in the South in the 1800s. It’s not ok to be proud of the Confederacy, the flag they adopted, or their government. There are no statues in Berlin (I don’t think) of Rommel conquering Northern Africa, surrounded by Nazi flags. That’s because while they are very, very proud of being German, they are ashamed at the government during that time.

If you want to be proud of the South, do as Robert E Lee did. Wave your Virginia flag and be proud to be a Virginian. But also be proud to love in a unified country where no one is under threat of crossing a border and becoming a slave. Forget that shameful part of the past and be proud of the current USA and its diversity of culture, food, and spice level tolerance. Be proud to be white, if you like. Just don’t be proud to be a racist.

Learn from the Germans. They set the tone for this perfectly. Though I personally don’t want those symbols banned as completely illegal. They are very valuable as aids to identify the idiots.

Daily Stormer went to Russia. Their site is down.

lol, welcome to the world as being on the same lists as terrorists.

Bank accounts and phones go next. Best those assholes buy some pigeons because that’s all they will be left with.

There was violence on both sides. Don’t punch Nazis! Just go where they tell you.

I wish my grandparents were still around so they could tell me how they knew it was time to leave Poland. They barely made it. Is it time now?

Actually, it’s time to keep making a stand against it, not abandon the US to it.

Hell no it’s not time. We’re not giving our country up to those fuckers. Nazis will go down. It will be painful, and the law may or may not be on our side.

FTFY!

“They tried to kill my child to shut her up,” Susan Bro told the crowd gathered at her daughter’s memorial service. “Well guess what? You just magnified her.”

Who told Donald Trump these weren’t Nazis?

No, seriously, who told him? Before leaping to the defense of all of the “fine people” marching shoulder to shoulder with Nazis, Trump made a big production over the fact that he had waited to speak until he had painstakingly gathered the facts. He used the word “facts” about 15 times in the minute prior to this statement. So from what reliable report, or from which of his advisors, did he get the talking point about how these were just ordinary, upstanding citizens concerned about a statue? What was his source for this “fact”?

The only people I’ve heard trying to make that claim are—you guessed it—the white nationalists who organized the rally. We’ve had inklings before that Trump picks up fake news and conspiracy theories from the Internet and retweets rumors in his Twitter feed, and also that he and his people pick up memes that come through the pipeline of the racist alt-right. (Remember the “sheriff’s star”?) It looks like that’s happening again, while he is president, and in response to a case in which he is specifically called upon to show that this odious faction does not have his ear.

So we can only conclude that they do have his ear.

He’s declared domestic enemies his new priority previously, so expect their website to never function or be gay porn 24/7 if they ever do this.

What do those earth graphics mean? That Cohn is a ‘globalist’?

Yes.

There was a great episode of the show Better Off Ted that was about that very thing.
