botany posted:What the gently caress is the alt-left supposed to be, and how is it different from the regular left They're trying to steal the negative connotations associated with the alt-right and apply them to the left. "Alt-left" is meaningless, it's just supposed to invoke the thought "well, I haven't heard of this 'alt-left' before, but the alt-right are fascists and white supremacists, so the alt-left must be really really bad, whoever they are". It's a fictional false equivalence they're using to make the left look worse and the alt-right look less bad. Naturally, idiot moron progressives are happily adopting this bullshit that arch-conservative spin-masters made up. When people complain that conservatives always seem to get to frame the issues, this is why.

This reminds me of Freddie DeBoer claiming that Vox and Slate writers just want to get invited to Georgetown cocktail parties, Georgetown is terminally uncool and they wouldn't be caught dead there. (Except for WHCD weekend, that's where all the good after parties are.)

Logically, the alt-left should be the regular left but really racist and into making memes.

Paradoxish posted:So from this thread, I've gathered that "alt-left" either means a group of people so tiny and meaningless that they aren't worth having a term for or, alternately, like the entire third or so of the Democratic party that's significantly left of center. Very useful. Here people chanting "whats better then 12 dead cops?, 13 dead cops?" Well thats an alt-left chant. See people protesting the election results by tagging cars and standing in the street? Thats and alt-left protest.

"middle class americans" is a euphemism for white suburbanites. Let's try something that includes the poor and minorities as well, "working americans"

We're not going to ever recover best to try and flee the country and just live a carefree life knowing that death awaits the human race in the next 100 years as we turn our planet into Venus. Like if anything you should feel very liberated from the knowledge that we're all going extinct.
