There's a certain strain of evangelical GOP who wants to see all the Jews go to Israel and hey presto, Armageddon. This is why there was an Israel flag in Sarah Palin's office.

ime studying this it exists alongside a broader sympathy to/with israel as it is currently constituted - as outpost of the west, steward of christian holy sites, what k3v said vis-a-vis enemy of my enemy, and jewishness as reconstituted as foundational alongside christianity for western civilization cf "judeo-christianity" - i think the only pro-israel insofar/exclusively as its a vehicle for armageddon is relatively rare.

like to believe it's only animated by the Armageddon thing is to believe we should offer israel military aid why? to make it pleasant so that jews are more encouraged to move there?

Is it a sure thing that Milo directed his followers to Leslie Jones? At the time all I knew was that he wrote a negative review of Ghostbusters that was very critical of her and (deliberately?) attributed a fake tweet to her to make her look bad. I heard something about him being banned for additional reasons.

what % of the jews must be in israel to trigger the armageddon release

first they all have to be in israel, then they all have to jump at the same time, thereby disrupting the earth's gravitational field and kickstarting armageddon. i'm pretty sure irenaeus wrote extensively about this.

Depends on what you mean by 'directed'. After he wrote about her, her feed exploded with harassment. There's a 100% chance that she was harassed because of the shitty things he wrote. And there's a 100% chance he was well aware such harassment was more than likely when he wrote what he wrote. Think of it like this, can anyone really be said to have 'murdered' someone, just because they pointed a loaded weapon in the direction of another person and pulled the trigger? Who knows what the intentions are?

This is what Milo said

Patty is a two dimensional racist stereotype by even the most forgiving measure.

Patty is the worst of the lot. The actress is spectacularly unappealing, even relative to the rest of the odious cast. But it’s her flat-as-a-pancake black stylings that ought to have irritated the SJWs. I don’t get offended by such things, but they should.

Ghostbusters, the film acting as standard bearer for the social justice left, is full of female characters that are simply stand-ins for men plus a black character worthy of a minstrel show.

I don't like him and what he said is awful but I'm not sure he should have expected what would follow from writing that. Not the same as shooting someone.

Robert Adam Gilmour, Thursday, 24 November 2016 23:01 (seven years ago) link

No, he got banned from twitter because of what he wrote on twitter.

The screenshot of Leslie's tweet seems to be fake.

Frederik B, Thursday, 24 November 2016 23:29 (seven years ago) link

I hate that he gets firstnamed (ie when your antagonist's surname is just long enough for people to not want to write it). His visible moment of confusion and panic on C4 News last week (when presented with two contradcitory statements he made) was maybe just about worth having him on.

I was discussing something with ilx-milo earlier today, and felt bad for every time I've let nazi-milo be milo instead of ilx-milo.

Frederik B, Thursday, 24 November 2016 23:52 (seven years ago) link

I'm sure he posted a faked image of her tweeting nasty stuff. I don't know if he made the fake.

I guess it was that people were already harrassing her and he accused her of playing the victim, then that made it worse?

Robert Adam Gilmour, Thursday, 24 November 2016 23:57 (seven years ago) link

He'd been involved all along, and then he went and blew it up again. And it's not the first time, he is a cyber bully ring leader. He'd done it to Leslie Jones since at least december 2015.

Frederik B, Friday, 25 November 2016 00:09 (seven years ago) link

Surely he's going to get laid less for all his shit? He's gay and into black guys particularly and he must be pushing both groups away by this point.

Robert Adam Gilmour, Friday, 25 November 2016 00:43 (seven years ago) link

xxp - nazi-milo has almost made me change my ILX and instagram names but they tie back to dial-up Internet days when it seemed completely normal to use a singer's name as a screenname...

might be more than compensated for by the effect of being more famous? Idk.

Couldn't show any working for this, but I've got a weird hunch this fucker's going to try and do a babyface turn in the next year or so.

White nationalists are alt-right and right-wing sites like Breitbart News and its chairman, the new White House advisor Stephen K. Bannon, are alt-lite, according to Brad Griffin, a white nationalist who blogs under the pen name Hunter Wallace at the site Occidental Dissent.

“Steve Bannon is the most important figure in the alt-lite,” Griffin wrote. “We all see Breitbart as the premier alt-lite website which has popularized a diluted version of our beliefs.”

trump le monde (bizarro gazzara), Wednesday, 30 November 2016 15:50 (seven years ago) link

Just like much of the Republican Party. I mean, I'm guessing these far-right people have always privately supported the Republicans ; they're just happy that someone is openly approving of some of their policy goals. The far right is also happy because Trump knowingly sought support from open bigots. So, he's encouraging it. The only difference is that the racism is more overt now.

Fake Sam's Club (I M Losted), Wednesday, 30 November 2016 16:13 (seven years ago) link

I've been paying some attention to guys like Steve Sailer for a few years, it's basically thinking man's white supremacy. That's what the "non nazi" wing of the alt right is about.

Love the one dude's super-important meme showing that there's less property crime where nobody has anything useful to steal. Important anthropological info there.

I wonder, this cheerful rainbow coalition of hat-wearing meme enthusiasts that PJW says is the real alt-right (or "new right") - does he actually believe it? is his rejection the explicitly white-nationalist/nazi stuff just a cynical move because he realises how politically toxic it is, or is the new right thing how he genuinely sees himself? (I mean, if he believes he's not a racist then he's deluded obviously, but I kind of get the impression that some of these folk are genuinely offended at being lumped together with the Hitler fetishists, the one's who see themselves as "libertarians" or whatever?)

Yup, property crime targets affluent areas. See e.g. this article, which says the safest Manhattan neighborhood for property crime in 2010 was West Harlem:
