 quote:Casting notice for a Cadillac TV ad that was seeking “ALT-RIGHT (NEO-NAZI)” people (Twitter) quote:What’s perhaps most terrifying about the ad (and weakens the credibility that this was some mistake) was that the agency understood it would be controversial. The listing explained that the commercial would feature people from “all walks of life in America” and that they’d be “standing together as a union.” The listing went on to say that, “This is not meant to be offensive in any way. Just a representation of all sides.”

For the most part, it was people honestly searching for conclusions as to what was going on in the world in the information age. The reason these different groups ended up coming to the same conclusions about the Jews, race, feminism and the rest of it was that they had unlimited access to information, and open minds, so they all happened upon the objective truth. or... its satire, a liberal site pretending to be a nazi one? plz Communist Thoughts has issued a correction as of 18:07 on Dec 11, 2016 |

Based on informal polling of "educated" people, they have no idea how to connect a cartoon frog they never heard of to a nazi movement

The amount of humor and vulgarity confuses people. The true nature of the movement, however, is serious and idealistic. We have in this new millennium an extremely nihilistic culture. From the point when I first became active in what has become the Alt-Right movement, it was my contention that in an age of nihilism, absolute idealism must be couched in irony in order to be taken seriously. This is because anyone who attempts to present himself as serious will immediately be viewed as the opposite through the jaded lens of our post-modern milieu.

I want Trump to gather all the members of the news media again so that he can smugly brag about they couldn't beat him for a 2-3 hours. If he does this every single week during his time in office, I might actually have something positive to say about him come 2020.

Tatum Girlparts posted:I don't have concrete numbers for most of those but spoiler alert their 'demographics' are 'super white with a few weird outliers' Well, obviously. But I think we kind of do need to have concrete numbers and information and stuff like that, because otherwise I don't think anyone can honestly claim to know what they're actually talking about when they say "alt-right." I don't think it's very useful to just vaguely wave our hands in the general direction of 4chan. Like, I hear that Milo guy is part of the alt-right, but despite his repugnant xenophobia he doesn't seem to me to be adhering to an ideology that can honestly be described as literally embodying the tenets of National Socialism, which is apparently an integral and necessary part of being "alt-right." It's all just kind of confusing. Call me crazy, but think it's kind of important to have a bit more concrete information about what is apparently a powerful and influential, ideologically neo-Nazi movement in the United States of America.

This is a squares and rectangles thing, not every white supremacist is a neo-nazi, but every neo-nazi is a white supremacist.
