where do republicans end and nazis begin?

the buffet line at a Presbyterian church

ok lol

I don't think most Republians are neo-nazis. Trump seems like a fellow traveller though!

Watching the Vice footage for the first time now. These people are so young wtf

The nazis that is

Just got accused of virtue signaling by someone on Facebook, I feel like I've really arrived now.

the alt-left??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

These people are so young wtf

I keep flashing on this thing that happened to a younger friend of mine a few years ago. He was dating this college student who was a little younger than him (iirc, she was 19 or 20), and who was mixed race (Polish-Hispanic). She had to read Mein Kampf for a class. She got really into it, and starting having arguments with him and others about how--Holocaust aside--Hitler was really progressive.

Needless to say, he dumped her pretty quickly after that. Also pretty sure she's a red-hatter now.

We should allow abortion until the fetus reaches the age of 25.

A lot of those dudes looked like average college students.. not meathead brawlers OR 4chan shut ins. This shouldn't be shocking to me but it was.

now now let's not judge nazis by their appearance

can't judge a Reich by its Furher

A+

self-selection. the meathead brawlers all got stuck at a Hooters on the way to C'ville and the shut ins never made it out the door.

the cover story in the September issue of Harper's by Seyward Darby is really good. she interviews a bunch of prominent women on the alt-right. everyone she talks to makes no sense, contradicts themselves, and are easily flustered. good story!

where do republicans end and nazis begin?

america is racist as fuc and i'm sure there are a lot of people who don't want to see confederate 'heritage' discarded, but . . . nazis? i mean straight up people carrying nazi flags and chanting about jews and blood and soil?

i'd like to think that's fucking finally a step too far, but maybe i'm wrong. apparently it's not too much for paul ryan

hey come on now Ryan said some *very* strong words

before putting Trump's dick back in his mouth

The Rise of the Valkyries: In the alt-right, women are the future, and the problem, by Seyward Darby.

the anti-trump logo thing is stupid tbh, plain old swastika is more impactful and it's not like the problem is limited to one powerful dumbass

A lot of those dudes looked like average college students.. not meathead brawlers OR 4chan shut ins. This shouldn't be shocking to me but it was.

what you have to understand is that college students almost never have ideas when they get to college and they are very emotional and typically kind of dumb

idk, i feel like 'nazis are bad' is an idea that's been pretty strong and well-distributed for the last 80 years or so

i don't doubt that they're dumb/emotional, but it takes a little extra to chant 'jews will not replace us'

it gets passed down generation to generation a lot too, esp in the South. doesn't matter if the racist beliefs are more benign when presented to kids, there's always someone who can take that seed and push them where their parents/grandparents resisted going. esp in college.

for example, the older dude who oversaw the horrific beating in the Charlottesvile parking lot - 2 or 3 of these dudes have been ID'd as well as him, he got kicked out of the military for stealing guns and giving them to the KKK (see Shaun King tweets)

the way King patiently and persistently cascaded those pictures across the internet was fantastic. it's 2017, wait long enough and you'll be IDed for shit like this.

Dan thx for the article - good stuff

you tweet CNN reporter getting hit by a train, i say "Trump's dad was arrested at a KKK riot in 1927"

this is pretty good. shows car attack and aftermath though so *warning*. but just as a document its pretty good.

huh so we got to the "Brandon dates a racist" arc in season 3 and I was actually kind of struck by how well it was handled/depicted (in contrast to the S1 "Brandon meets a black neighbor" episode). His girlfriend drops a number of snide comments - no n-words or overt slurs but plenty of subtle shade-throwing at Brandon's black boss, homeless people, etc. The last straw for Brandon is (of course) when she says some snarky anti-semitic shit about Andrea behind her back. Brandon actually references the Rodney King riots (and not even for the first time!), calls himself "a liberal kind of person", and, after initially trying to say he's willing to set aside their political differences, tells her to get lost and that it doesn't matter how well they get along, how attracted they are to each other. I had totally forgotten this storyline, was kind of surprising that it wasn't as super-clumsy as some of the other contemporary references.

it gets passed down generation to generation a lot too, esp in the South. doesn't matter if the racist beliefs are more benign when presented to kids, there's always someone who can take that seed and push them where their parents/grandparents resisted going. esp in college.

I am not usually a person who advocates watching videos associated with news stories but this one is low-key amazing. Just a man on camera, slowly and methodically saying really, really dumb things

barf at that^
fake news->no YOU'RE fake news
alt-right->what about the alt-left??
civil rights movement for blacks, LGBT et->ok what about civil rights movement for whites???

no real thoughts or ideas. just simplistic reactionary childish bullshit.

was barfing at DJP's link but applies to Josh's too

I think this quote sums up everything I find sad and pathetic about these people:

"As far as the term white supremacist goes, in my view anybody that thinks white people don't need advocacy, they're the white supremacists," Tefft said.

I was about to post that quote. And then he sort of gives a "so there"! shrug at the end.

no YOU'RE sad and pathetic!

j/k

xp

when he's finally impeached or rage quits or whatever's gonna happen i hope people can resist the temptation to call 3Ks "alt-pres"

is it wrong that my first thought about this was "What would Aldo the Apache do"

i wish everyone would just calm down about all this. erik had some friends over at the family winery and okay maybe things got a little out of hand, nobody's perfect
