the alt-right

(a surprise to no one, I'm sure)

I was the Portland March yesterday. A cop tossed a flash bang grenade at a masked photographer:

Sorta surprised that Vancouver incident isn't getting more press, but at the same time everything is just clogged with hurricane news.

After the man was handcuffed, a group called the "Proud Boys" drove down Columbia Avenue and sprayed pepper spray out their windows at protesters in the street. The counter-protesters lobbed rocks at their truck.

Police stopped the Proud Boys, but did not detain them. Fifteen minutes later they drove away.

But they didn't get far: Reporters nearby say the Proud Boys crashed into a police vehicle.

would never have guessed that getting pepper-sprayed by persons unknown is the gateway to getting #woke but here we are

I used to think nazi lingo was funny. I didn't realize people took it so seriously- for that I want to say sorry to @LauraLoomer & my fans. https://t.co/12SBbaFI4T

Took a minute before I realized there's a Vancouver, WA.

AKA alt-vancouver.

swish

Apparently the portland NPR station is having the rightwing shithead organizer on today's noontime call-in show, that's gunna go well

who is it, Joey Gibson?

Yup

dude is a publicity hound of the worst kind, they should stop encouraging him

he's like a profoundly unintelligent man that can barely make out a sentence. it's more than bizarre that he ended up being such a mouthpiece for a movement.

he's an archetypal "useful idiot" for nazis

Bannon himself is joining the alt right provocation parade at the end of the month at Berkeley with his gay son Milo

so ridiculous how they keep going back to Berkeley. if they just keep trying again and again maybe one day they will get their "race war"!

so his house will be empty?

wonder if bannon thinks hes better off personally agitating the black bloc at cal instead of working in the fucking white house

did you see his 60 Minutes interview? he keeps using the words "fight" and "agenda"

I watched half of it last night, main takeaway is his voice is hilarious & he almost has a Baltimore accent. "You know, uh duh sussessfull peopoll, uh, dare duh swamp. Dare duh swamp."

can't stop staring at his gills pulsing as he seethes while Charlie Rose tells him Trump should have denounced white supremacists

Here's the portland talk show bit with the shitlord:

How's everyone feel about the apparent creeping of militia types from anti-government "extremists" to guys who hang out with cops at their special events and occasionally get to help out (oh boy!) with arrests?

that come at me bro / no no we're cool transition is animation-perfect

so was nazi dude just going around looking for a fight?

see, you don't have to own an iPhone X to "pay with your face"

It was a hectic day today but every time I felt overwhelmed I just watched that clip a few times and everything felt better.

this looks good https://alternativeright.hopenothate.com/my-year-inside-the-international-alt-right

can we not use a gif (ugh gifs) of a spousal abuser to celebrate the beatdown of someone who quite obviously *does* deserve to get punched? ty

yeah I did think

it's really good xxp

have seen some tweets that the principal guy has some of his own problems (transphobia first among them) :/

Argh I think said tweets may have been referring to Jesse Singal who wrote about Hermansson in the NYT

Keeping track of who to be skeptical of is such a chore

Left world problems

Gotta love shitshows

https://www.mediaite.com/online/milos-berkeley-free-speech-week-has-completely-fallen-apart-and-he-refuses-to-admit-it/

"Wintrich told Mediaite that Yiannopoulos knew as early as last week that the event was falling apart, but misled the media, UC-Berkeley and his fans — many of whom bought flights and accommodation for the week — by claiming it was still on."

awww the poor things

if you can't trust a professional faux Nazi troll who can you trust?

A "faux Nazi" is just a Nazi

he doesn't have the conviction to be a full-on Nazi, he's an opportunist shyster. that doesn't make him better than a Nazi, but still

c'mon guys milo's house was just destroyed by a hurricane, can't we stop picking on him for *srnkkk* naw i can't keep a straight face, sorry

c'mon guys milo's house was just destroyed by a hurricane

I thought that turned out to be bullshit too.

I don't want to think about Milo enough to be disappointed about terrible things *not* happening to him.

lol clowns
