worth reading for this quote alone


:swoon:

also some more posturing from basic stickdork

quote:

An African America woman from LA, wearing a Trump T-shirt and an American flag bandana, takes the microphone. "Do I look like a racist?!" she says. "Do I look like a Nazi?! I am a black American!" Another M-80 explodes in the distance. "African Americans are being put in categories as Muslims. We are not Muslims! We are not from Africa! We are black Americans. And for all you mothers and fathers out there: Protect your daughters because the Muslim Brotherhood believes in marrying nine-year-old girls. They are kidnapping these little girls in America. We as Americans have to take matters into our own hands."

my heart goes out to the few Racial/Sexual minorities in Trumps "Movement"

But didn't Milo use these attempts to muzzle his speeches as a way to boost his profile? Seems counter-productive. Freddie's argument is that there's also a Streisand Effect at work. Milo could always out students on his Facebook page to his hundreds of thousands of followers if he wanted to.

And there's a reason Ann Coulter is going to Berkeley to give a speech. She's lost her edge and is late to the game but she's trying to catch up. She's way more effective if a big crowd shows up to muzzle her than if no one paid any attention except the Alameda County League of Women Republican Voters.

Or alternatively, look at Richard Spencer the other day. He got chased off campus and that's good. I don't care if Freddie whines about that. But the fact that he spoke and sounded like a jackass probably hurt him more than helped.

He did, and in a lot of cases I think it's wise to just let them give their lovely speech to the College Republicans or whatever. But Milo liked to out trans students and students who were undocumented immigrants to the U.S., and IMO, putting students in danger is a bridge too far. It was irresponsible for the colleges to consider having him in the first place.

I did some data analysis work with school race when I lived in Tulsa, Oklahoma. When I was trying to sort zipcodes into larger region buckets I had to open a map and find the zip code, then make a call on what region that zip code best fell into if it was a borderline case. After a few look ups I found it was way easier to check the racial makeup of the zipcode first, because that would almost always tell me exactly where in the city it was and what my region boundaries should be because of the extreme racial segregation. De facto segregation is real bad and getting worse.

Also, as a former resident of San Diego and current resident of Boston, what is the functional difference between vanguard of gentrification and just trying to fit in with the locals?

I'm morbidly curious to see what charters and the death of the public school system will do to segregation. If white families no longer have the fear of sending their kids to school with kids, will that help complete urban gentrification? I'm thinking about Oakland here which is prime real estate

You're missing the point. Milo's ability to do that and for it to matter was proportional to the attempts to muzzle him, since that is an ineffective weapon in the age of the Streisand Effect. The question to ask is: If he outed undocumented students in a room and no one was there to hear him, did he really out them?

He grew stronger (and more threatening) like that big evil space ball in the Fifth Element that grew bigger every time the good guys shot at it. Eventually, some other people had to find the ancient stones (pedo tapes) to extinguish the evil just before it collided into Earth (CPAC / Simon & Schuster book deal).

I only check in on this thread occasionally so apologies if this has already been posted, but guess who the Southern Poverty Law Center is gunning for now.

quote:

The Southern Poverty Law Center, along with its Montana co-counsel, filed suit in federal court today against the founder of a major neo-Nazi website who orchestrated a harassment campaign that has relentlessly terrorized a Jewish woman and her family with anti-Semitic threats and messages.

The lawsuit describes how Andrew Anglin used his web forum, the Daily Stormer – the leading extremist website in the country – to publish 30 articles urging his followers to launch a “troll storm” against Tanya Gersh, a real estate agent in Whitefish, Montana. Gersh, her husband and 12-year-old son have received more than 700 harassing messages since December.

The intimidation began after Anglin accused Gersh of attempting to extort money from the mother of Richard Spencer. The younger Spencer heads the National Policy Institute, a white nationalist organization.
