Alt right in the wild : smartly dressed young hipster (skinny jeans, pointy Italian shoes, blue on white paisley-ish button-up shirt) reading a hardcover of Dinesh D’Souza The Big Lie on the E train from Queens into Manhattan this morning

Mind you, rapist judge Kavanaugh seems to have shown that you can have an incoherent bawling tantrum in public and still have the support of the army of twats, so maybe it doesn't matter now.

Howard Jacobson did a comprehensive denouncement of Kavanaugh/Trump etc on R4 last night, and then finished the broadcast by saying woman should be banned from using the word "patriarchy" because it makes them sound like students!

― mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Saturday, 13 October 2018
Main differences for me, are
1) Kavanaugh doing it on the way up, not down. Anything is excused if it deployed in the service of winning2) Kavanaugh doing it on someone elses media, not his own social media page.3) Kavanaugh mixing it up with anger, and at 'them'. Just enough of "whos the real victim here anyway?" before switching the play back onto attack. Supporters recognize game

Gavin McInnes gave a talk last night in Manhattan and then some Proud Boys beat up some people, made video, and took group photos.http://gothamist.com/2018/10/13/proud_boys_beating_video.php
― ian, Saturday, 13 October 2018 16:53 (five years ago) link
Multiple disturbing videos taken at the scene appear to show dozens of Proud Boys swarming two people on the ground, shouting "you're dead, motherfucker" and "faggot" as they take turns attacking them. Three people were arrested following the event, according to police, though a public defender with the Legal Aid Society says she's confirmed that the arrests were of anti-racist protesters.
Nice

The dude with the sword? That’s Gavin McInnes, founder of the far-right fascist gang the Proud Boys. The vandalism? No evidence that it’s “antifa.” The violence? Videos from last night show abt 20 Proud Boys beating 3 people while they’re on the ground. This is so infuriating https://t.co/AaIM5gpmqL— Christopher Mathias (@letsgomathias) October 13, 2018

Vice Magazine was the trojan horse for so much of this back in the day, it's pretty disgusting to go back and think about early issues which were scattered for free strategically around hipster hoods in L.A. (and i'm sure even moreso in NYC and the like.)

― maura, Monday, 15 October 2018 16:36 (five years ago) link
the only "antifa violence" I can seem to find anything about in the incident is someone pulling a MAGA hat off a guy's head.
Proud Boys seems like a vehicle for basement-dwelling softies to run with a few actual skinhead gang members and feel tough as they get their one kick in on a defenseless guy getting jumped by 20 people.
― Fedora Dostoyevsky (man alive), Monday, 15 October 2018 17:07 (five years ago) link
I used to work for a publisher that put out two issues of the Vice "Dos and Don'ts" photos, which often amounted to photographic sexual assault of unconsenting young women in various compromising positions. So I'm glad Vice "grew up" or whatever but spare me.

everyone i ever met that regularly read Vice was either an idiot or an asshole. and yes those early issues were all over Manhattan in the early 00s.
― flappy bird, Monday, 15 October 2018 18:27 (five years ago) link
I definitely know a few former "Vice hipster" types who have gone alt right.
A strange memory that just came back to me: in the late 90s when I became acquainted with that crew of people in college and didn't really know anything whatsoever about that scene/milieux, I remember observing that there was this set of them who were huge record nerds but listened to almost no black music whatsoever, as far as I could tell, and I just found that really odd, like how could you be a music nerd and have so little interest in black music. At the time I just kind of dismissed the thought, but now it makes sense to me.
