okay, well, breaking news. They cancelled their rally tomorrow in SF and their Sunday rally in Berkeley. They did not feel that the bay area was a safe space for them to be open racists in public.
Tim Squirrell, a researcher at the Alt-Right Open Intelligence Initiative at the University of Amsterdam, used Google’s BigQuery to analyze “every Reddit comment ever made—all 3 billion of them.” He used the results to identify different alt-right groups and the language they use.
Focusing on The_Donald, I used a script that lets you see which words are most likely to occur in the same comment. Combining this with a tool that allows you to look at the overlap in commenters between different parts of Reddit, I found that the alt-right isn’t just one voice: It’s made up by distinct constituencies that share different opinions and ways to express them, identifiable by the language they use and the other communities they post in.
In other words, there’s a taxonomy of trolls. So who are they, and what language do they use?
Here are the groups and their favorite words:
4chan shitposters: kek, Pepe, deus vult, tendies, God Emperor Trump
“There are a lot of white women who buy into this movement, they’re just doing it in private,” said Kelly Baker, an author who specializes in gender and white extremist groups. “They’re not vocal, but they are supporters of the men in their lives who are.”
I talked to a few alt-right supporters after the Charlottesville rally. All of them gave the same explanation for the protest’s missing women: biology. There is no official alt-right platform—members are generally anti-immigrant, anti-Semitic, and see themselves as defenders of the white race. Most also maintain that there are certain characteristics inherent to each gender. Men are risk-takers, multiple alt-right supporters told me. Women are nurturers. Risk-takers belong at nationally televised protests. Nurturers don’t.
By and large, alt-right men don’t seem to be forcing these traditional gender roles on the women of their movement—the alt-right women are doing it themselves. The women share a profound disdain for the feminist movement, and are eager to claim the supportive, behind-the-scenes roles.
“As for female empowerment, there’s nothing that has made me feel more empowered in my life than supporting and being supported by a strong man,” Claudia Davenport, an alt-right activist, said in an interview with The Economist. “I think that men and women are better off when we stop fighting nature and allow our distinct identities to shine through.”
In our conversations, multiple alt-right supporters referred to the movement’s men as “protectors.”
“It’s not the role of women to protect the borders, the nation, or the family. So we do not expect this of women, nor do we find it strange that they are less represented in something that we view as an innately male occupation: guarding territory,” said Tara McCarthy, a female alt-right blogger.
the similarities between this article and the history of female nazis in hitler’s furies are chilling, i don’t know how else to describe it
White women, we need to own our shit. We need to stop talking about the alt-right like they’re sexless virgins unable to get laid. Many of them are married with children, raising the next generation of dangerous racists.
We know she’s just mad cause they have more melanin than she’s used to seeing
Lol I used to work at target and know for a fact that that’s literally one aisle sandwiched between several containing several an array of bland white dolls why would you fake a struggle like this?? It’s so flawed 😩😂
^^^^^^^
White girls are so pathetic
And…there’s absolutely no reason she couldn’t’ve bought one of those for her cousin, anyway? (I mean, no reason beyond “that cousin is probably being raised just like her and would do terrible things to the doll”)
i found this post on facebook this morning and went to My Generation to tally their dolls by skin color just to see how absolutely out of proportion the OP was blowing things.
they have 106 dolls total on target’s website. 87 of these dolls are white. 46 of those white dolls are blonde. counting all their total dolls of color, you get 19 (and that’s being generous and tallying any exceptionally tan ones). only one of these dolls resembles someone east asian.
so yeah, this lady only found 8 dolls (two of which are from seperate brands) and she’s still steamed when the brand she was looking at has 87 white dolls for her racist ass to choose from.
There are good reasons why men’s-rights activism has served for so many as a gateway drug to the alt-right: Both movements appeal to men with fantasies of violent, sometimes apocalyptic redemption — and, like Cantwell, a tendency to express these fantasies in bombastic prose. And both movements are based on a bizarro-world ideology in which those with the most power in contemporary society are the true victims of oppression.
In other words, if you can convince yourself that men are the primary victims of sexism, it’s not hard to convince yourself that whites are the primary victims of racism. And it’s similarly easy for members of both movements to see white men as the most oppressed snowflakes of all.
that would also explain why they’re so violently ableist

Way to make your Alt-Right followers feel like shit, bro.

I want to explain that I have no desire to offend my readers. Quite the opposite. As the blog and Valhalla fandom grew, I became very aware that the things I say can offend my followers and readers. I made a post that poked fun at smoking without a second thought and woke up to find I’d alienated several people who smoked. That hurt. I made a sarcastic remark once that offended a Valhalla fan and that hurt a great deal, I was mortified that I’d offended a fan who really respected me. I strongly try to avoid this.
But the fact that explaining how my book does not support Nazism really shouldn’t offend anyone who’s on the level. It’s simply true, my book is not a white supremacist text, it has Nazis as the bad guys in one chapter, it ridicules and refutes many alt-right shibboleths. It’s not a friendly series to those beliefs.
Now I stand by it, I don’t want to offend my readers. I have over 125,000 of them now and there’s sure to be a wide diversity of beliefs among those people. Some will identify as alt-right. I am aware that some even call themselves neo-Nazis, thus grouping themselves with Nazis in history. And I just have to say it flatly to them- You people murdered over half of my father’s side of the family. You incite violence against the innocent because of their race. You fight for the supremacy of a damn skin color and that makes you an absolute sack of shit to me.
In my post, I ascribe a meaning to the Tikari on the cover of Valhalla. This is actually a huge risk for me because there’s someone out there who has a tattoo of it. I am stating a meaning to her tattoo that I had not stated when she got it. I take that very seriously because I respect her very greatly and would be absolutely destroyed if I hurt her, especially by altering the public connotations of her tattoo to something she didn’t approve of. But here’s the thing- I’m pretty damn sure she won’t mind it being a symbol of lesbian strength and superiority to things that berate them, such as Nazism.
I weigh the things I say here pretty heavily. Especially in that post. Because there are people I don’t want to hurt. But to my followers who believe I deserve to die because of my bloodlines, well, I gotta say I kind of want you people to hurt. I dare say I would feel bad if I didn’t use my posts to hurt you. You think I should be erased? Then I don’t think you deserve to enjoy my blog without at least a little sting.
We have reached the time when silence is tantamount to complicity. I would be guiltier if I stayed silent than if I offend some people. So I cannot be silent about it: If you are my fan and you identify with Nazism, white supremacy, and yes- The “alt-right”- I don’t really want you here. I don’t care to avoid offending you. If you believe I am sub-human for my heritage, I’m just not going to try very hard to avoid hurting your fragile fragile feelings.
Here’s a bunch of Nazis discussing their strategy. They recognize that Charlottesville was a huge set back. They are trying to fucking “rebrand.” Notice that they say this – “leftists will recognize dog whistles and know we’re crypto, but normies won’t listen to them.”

Don’t get trapped in an echo chamber where you can no longer relate to normies.
Pretending that Charlottesville didn’t massively push the average white person away is really stupid.
We have a chance to actually make changes now that Trump has shifted the Overton window to the right, but we need to be smart and make the movement appealing to the AVERAGE white person.
> Disavow all Nazi/KKK edgelord LARPers. There is no way to lose public support quicker than going around making Nazi salutes and holding Wiki (sic) torches while chanting “Jews will not replace us”. This instantly makes the average person hate you.
> Build a populist movement with realistic, incremental overt goals. Repealing the 1965 Immigration Act and replacing it with something that both limits total immigration and prioritizes white immigration is an actual tangible political goal.
> Keep the long-term goals covert, and don’t ever reveal your power level. Talking openly about an white ethnostate only leads to failure and the average public turning against you, so disavow anyone who reveals his power level. Leftists will recognize dog whistles and know we’re crypto, but normies won’t listen to them.
> Start first by focusing on multiculturalism, because it lot easier for people to see how non-white countries produce culture that is at odds with our values. People like Peter Thiel should be the voices of the alt-right, not cringelords like Richard Spencer.

Reminds me of when the Religious Right was running stealth candidates (who pretended to be moderate conservatives to the general public but were really Christian conservative extremists), especially for school boards. The effort didn’t get very far because as soon as they started trying to enact their true agenda, they ran into a wall of resistance. It seems that leftists and normies do keep an eye on their elected officials and won’t let them do anything they want.
