Some Nazi found out about the Frankfurt School and, rather than accept that it was a reaction of Marxists to fascist takeovers in their home countries and the implications of the Holocaust - they assume it's a liberal/communist conspiracy to degenerate the West and tear down civilization. The Frankfurters focused heavily on cultural analysis and analytic philosophy over the material dialectics of traditional Marxism, and that's where the "Cultural Marxism" comes from. They assume that anybody who wants greater cultural freedoms, racial or social equalities, etc., are secretly being manipulated by the Frankfurt School, and therefore all SJWs are all Cultural Marxists.

Yeah it doesn't require some specific thing like Frankfurt to explain, it's just the authoritarian right lumping together all the things they don't like to create unity (so that people who hate homosexuals will hate communists, and people who hate communists will hate homosexuals)

The individual doesn't have to know the etymological origins of "Cultural Marxism" to know what it applies to, any more than somebody would need to know the origins of liberalism. The point is that this isn't just a neologism, it's a full blown conspiracy theory.

It's kind of dangerous to assume alt-righters are just joking around imo. While they do like making people offended, go to one of their festering grounds and you will find they also genuinely believe most of their poo poo. They still vote for right-wing candidates and will be 'joking' all the way until people are being sent off into camps (and probably after too).

Obviously things like 'the egyptian chaos god Kek was summoned using /pol/'s meme magic in the form of pepe and caused the election of Donald Trump' are complete bullshit and they know it. But 'Europe has become a third world level shithole where gangs of Syrian refugees are constantly killing and raping white women', 'France will be majority Muslim by 2050' and 'Antifa is a terrorist organisation funded by George Soros' are things they usually actually believe.

The mixture of truth and '''irony''' makes them drat near impossible to argue with. If you call them out on anything they will dodge it by saying it was just a joke. If you explain to them why making a racist joke is still racist then they will ask 'why are you so offended?'. And they will continue asking basically as long as you talk to them. It makes it incredibly frustrating to talk to them, which I assume is the point.

Who are sending people off to camps? What camps? And the beliefs you are quoting about Europe, muslims in France and antifa are not national socialist. It's right wing exaggerated propagnada, but not nazism.

I think the idea is to do something to counter the progress of Islamophobia, homophobia, and white supremacy before people end up in concentration camps dude. He said "will be", not "are".

You're right that hyperbole doesn't help, but not taking this poo poo seriously is part of why Donald Trump is in the White House and being advised by the executive chair of Breitbart. He's been POTUS for less than a month and we've already had an overreaching Muslim air travel ban (which is indiscriminately targeting brown-skinned Christians and Muslim American citizens) which has been enforced by various federal agencies in defiance of court orders.

By all means, I believe that it is perfectly fine to dissent, protest, fight back and all that. I just think it is worrying that by expanding the definition of nazism, ie. people that it is okay to use violence against, the left is going to end up with a really long list of people to punch.

We've always had an extremely long list of people to punch, they just didn't feel confident enough to show their faces in public. The alt-right is a clearing house for reactionary ideologies that any normal person would think are too stupid to even humor.

That said, it's also stupid not to call someone a fascist just because some people (many of whom are on the right, who love to call people they disagree with fascists, communists, or terrorists regardless of their actual values) used a word wrong sometimes. There are definitely ideological fascists within the alt-right, and people who deny that completely either don't understand the movement's ideological origins or set the bar for what qualifies as fascism so impossibly high that almost nobody counts, even people who openly discuss their admiration for and lineage from European fascist movements.

they love DC because it's the same sad pathetic White Male Power fantasies minus none of the pesky diversity (coincidentally, DC Comics also has the most writers known for sexually harassing female writers)
