Is anyone else getting the weird feeling that this alt-right poo poo is getting really out of control? I have this premonition that pretty soon there's going to be some actual deaths from street-level fights soon.

The alt-right dipshits think that annoying liberals is war. I'm pretty sure that they are gonna be the ones dying in the street fights if they don't run away first.

but the Suck Zone thread said liberals couldnt POSSIBLY stand up against them (especially in case of armed conflict, because somehow having progressive opinions makes you incapable of aiming a weapon)

the alt-right's definition of warfare consists of making mean posts on social media and every attempt to start poo poo just ends in embarassing youtube videos of some pizza-faced nerd getting decked in the face. if this were nazi germany the brownshirts probably would have turned them down and given them wedgies instead

That assumes that it's fists, bottles, and bats we're talking about. More righties have guns than us. All it takes is one nervous open-carry dude with an AR and a larger number of antifa with bare hands and clubs, and poo poo goes off. Or so the :tinfoil: part of my brain says. I try not to listen to it too much.

People could end up getting killed because of this mess, because there is IRL organizing and people on different sides advocating violence toward others, but the alt-right is waaaaay less cohesive some of you might assume.

It's mostly forum/Twitter shitposting and long, rambling podcasts. There is a great deal of infighting, and they've been in turmoil since the election, since the Trump campaign was an emotional crutch for these men. They projected their hopes and desires onto Trump, but now that he's president, the government has been returning to the mean somewhat, because the office of the presidency is still bigger than one man.

The Syria missile strike was interesting because the alt-righters splintered in different directions. Instead of upending the Western-led international order, Trump is turning into an even more militant and hard-line defender of it. For some, this is unforgivable. For pragmatic "normies" who got mixed up in the alt-right but not in an ideological sense, they just want to make liberals cry or whatever, then they can go in whatever direction.

Now, I ... think that adds an unpredictable and dangerous element. Because there's no longer a direction for where they want to go. Some of the more level-headed alt-righters have made a better argument (IMO) that things take time, and that Trump has been cracking down on immigration for real, which is true, so they should be more or less happy. "You can't always get what you want." But for the more extreme voices, it's a mess and they're quite depressed, and they're very radicalized.

It's when the cohesiveness breaks down that you might see more individuals lash out. A lot of terrorists who radicalize over the internet try to get involved in "real life" activities, only to find that the larger "cause" is not willing to go along with it. Timothy McVeigh became disillusioned with militias, which were too defensive-oriented for his tastes. Islamic extremists are often expelled from their mosques for being radical. But we'll have to wait and see.

This lack of a solid command structure, on both sides, is my main worry. All it takes are one or two random chance actions before some random people get in a fight, and then the whole thing escalates. Organized hard-right and hard-left people could probably be reigned in, but what about their friends who just came to a rally for the first time? I've been in a couple brawls that turned ugly before (not politically motivated, though, punk rock and townie poo poo), and most times it wasn't some people with real beefs, it was just people who looked at each other wrong for a second or two. If they'd actually been armed and at a pro/anti-trump demo, well poo poo, there's the loving Lexington of our lifetime.

It doesn't make someone less capable of using weapons, it makes them less likely to have them.

Yeah. What's somewhat worrying and also ... less worrying ... is that the people involved don't seem to have any idea what they're doing. They're not in control of their emotions and when tempers flare things get out of hand. Like you said -- bar brawls. It's asses and elbows flying around, and it's a disorganized mess. So there's been quite a lot of it, but it's also been about posturing and is just generally monkey-brained. It's a minor miracle no one that I can recall off the top of my head has been killed in one of these clashes.

Take Based Stick Man for instance. He looks ridiculous and doesn't know anything. He's being reinforced by his 15 minutes of internet fame, and is getting prodded into picking fights with teenagers, basically. His family must be embarrassed at the spectacle he's making for himself. So I'm not worried about him. And I have to say there's more than one Antifa mugging for the cameras who isn't behaving much better.

More than anything, I'm worried about another Anders Breivik. He was really a worst-case scenario, and also a warning because the really dangerous guy out there (and it's statistically probable this guy exists right now, and is planning) nobody knows about.
