So my take on the whole attempt at the "the left are the real facists thing" is that nothing has really changed at all in the tactics. The MAGA Alt-Right Pepe's are just doing what they've been doing since day one which is to be opportunistic about trying to transfer blame, co-opt and transplant the ideology and narratives that they seem to need to maintain for this to be quite honest bullshit culture war that they manufactured in order to give their lives some semblance of meaning even if it's really cynical nihilistic bent. It's the same old tactic of bullshit and trolling here in all of the twitter posts that I've seen linked. You get the double whammy of feeling you've upheld your version of reality and you get to goad and troll the who is expected to respond with "hey wait a minute your full of poo poo". I mean people should remain vigilant in these times but you can't give credence to every new shitpost they come out with to keep doing what they'll always be doing until they're either dead or in jail and physically can't. The long and short of it is they'd rather try to bring what they see as the other side down to their level than actually accomplish anything they claim to want to in the long run. The only reason it's gone anywhere at all in the public consciousness is because of the Orange Man and the unforeseen Rust Belt flip that gave him the presidency. enraged_camel posted:nothing matters The gooniest response really. e: Realizing that I actually seriously typed out "Alt-Left" in a post instead of just "Left" or even "the other side" and it stayed there for a good 5 minutes before I noticed makes me think I've been following all this poo poo a little too closely lately.

WrenP-Complete posted:Huh, feels weird to first say that you didn't refer to her as a man and then say it's acceptable when I find the quote. Well, I didn't feel like I was referring to her as a man because even if I use the word I meant it in the gender neutral sense. But someone is telling me that's actually incorrect so I just hosed up. So, don't use English the way I did there because I screwed that up: you can only do it that way if you're referring to the entire species. Or at least it's being implied that being used in this fashion is considered old-fashioned and no longer the norm. Wang_Tang posted:That's the best part though. Every time you see someone like Dinesh D'Souza call out the so-called sordid past of the Democrats, they're ignoring the very real ideological infatuation that modern-day Republicans have with the Confederacy. For example, if you see a truck with the stars and bars emblazoned on it you can bet that they think the Civil War was about state's rights, minorities/women are lazy/entitled, and vote straight-ticket Republican. Yet every one of these marches supporting "free speech" has plenty of those same flags. They don't actually care about the Democrats being the conservative party in the past, what they care about is diverting blame and ridicule. This is just an attempt to try to win back the public and give they're willing slaves away to avoid having to admit they're the Baddies. They just need to find a way to make it sound like the other side is bad. It's complete doublethink and is being done in bad faith. And, yeah, Trump supports right-wing extremism. It's what got him elected. Kale posted:So my take on the whole attempt at the "the left are the real facists thing" is that nothing has really changed at all in the tactics.

That's pretty much it really. If Trump wasn't president, this would just be them screaming into the void again. SamuraiFoochs posted:My dad tacitly agrees with the Tina Fey bullshit despite hating Trump. Now I see why people are mad. My dad literally said "If the counter protest hadn't happened no one would have died, they're repugnant but ignore them and they lose power." Explain to your father that if you don't counter-protest then you give them the sense that they are powerful. But more importantly it allows them to more effectively terrorize minority groups by making them seem as if they are unopposed. If he doesn't believe that, imagine if the health-care bill that was going to hurt the middle class was never protested openly and then think how he would both feel and would most likely would have happened. It doesn't take away power, it gives power. Mantis42 posted:Hey, at least if they're switching to "the Confederacy was actually the Democrats!" line, then at least that means they're acknowledging it as a bad thing. That's actually progress for them, a few thousand more baby steps like that they might even evolve into human beings. No, they still like the Confederacy. They just know that it's not in right now and think this will make them look good. They have not changed one iota, they're still should human beings who should be co-signed to the trash bin of History.

The righties, both "alt" and conventional Fox News variety, aren't being ignorant, just dishonest. They can't possibly justify Nazi Pepes so they are aggressively slinging a veritable tornado of bullshit, complete with outright false photoshops and contradictory talking points. It's really a bit breathtaking how aggressive they are with this stuff. I wonder if they really stepped up their game from the normal Fox/Rush stuff once the Russians got involved.

Usually they would just yell "commie" and "fag" and never bring it up again, but I've seen some people float the idea that Dems are trying to "whitewash their racist past" and so we have to keep the confederate monuments up so that they don't forget how evil their party is.
