Listening to an interview with Mark Rudd, former Weather Underground.

It's pretty interesting. He makes the point that they got seduced by this theory of foco insurgency that believed "action builds a movement," which in retrospect was stupid, he says. He also says that foco put a lot of emphasis on "self-expression." Kinda feels like what the alt-right is doing sorta. They think that if they develop a vanguard (one group is literally called Vanguard) that's willing to take action and put on a big show with a lot of dash, basically expressing themselves, then a mass movement will follow.

I remember reading some stuff about foco as it relates to Che's insurgencies, and it basically said that the Cuban revolution was a broad popular movement with a widespread hatred of Batista, but Castro et al tended to overemphasize their contributions. So people decided that twelve guerillas in the mountains can topple an entire country, when you really need more widespread discontent

This is correct.

More specifically, Cuba was absolutely ripe for a revolution and everything that could have gone right for the rebels went right. In Bolivia, on the other hand, there was no popular appetite for a revolution and every bit of bad luck went against them.

Foco looks pretty silly compared to the Mao's theory of Guerrilla warfare. It arguably still fits in with vanguard party/foco type ideas, you've just gotta spend years spreading propaganda and embedding cadres in wider society before you move onto the 'shooting people' stage. I guess the far-right in the us has been doing this kind of thing for ages but not as part of any coherent, joined-up strategy.

when did that finally happen in New Orleans?

alternatively when we find out the law was inexplicably passed in like 2002: when did they start enforcing it?

they passed it in like 2014 in nola, with exemptions for most of the quarter

my friends who work in fine dining were pissed. lots of "jazz and cigarettes just go together"

the ban campaign before that didn't work because they just put up a buncha billboards featuring like a bartender looking sickly in a smoke-filled room, or a lady holding a guitar, or a lady dancing on a pole, and people just went LOL WHO CARES and it failed

they only got this one passed because it explicitly exempted the ~~strip clubs~~ touristy parts of the city

"The issue with Based_Brit is he's not American, he's a crypto furry�a closeted furry. He wanted to add anime and NSFW channels. But mostly for us, it's because he was so inactive. Every time we wanted to do something, he would be lazy and not implement it," Hova told me in a voice chat. "On [Centipede Central] we had mod meetings to discuss changes. He wanted to add an anime channel and other admins would constantly delete it."

Based_Brit told me that calling him a furry is "part of their smear campaign," and that he only wanted an anime channel on Centipede Central in order to sequester it away from the more serious chat channels: "If you look at the subreddit the_donald, there are a lot of right winger gamers�it's a common theme�of people who like anime. Personally, I have no issue with it," he said. "This is a channel we had in the past for a long long time. When [the anime channel] was deleted it spills into the other chats and more people get angry. So I said, 'Put it in a channel, contain it.'"

...

Hova and Pefimous described Based_Brit as "mad online" and say he has been banned from the new server for trying to re-recruit members to a newly remade Centipede Central (which currently has just 150 users). They told me that, though Based_Brit was the "owner" of Centipede Central, because they had administrator privileges they were able to easily stage the coup using a Discord tool called Prune, which automatically kicked 11,000 members who hadn't logged into Discord in the last 24 hours. They then manually kicked the remaining members, changed the names of the existing channels in Centipede Central. They used a bot to invite old members of Centipede Central to The Right Server, which currently has 2,300 members.

"The community was dying at a rapid rate," Pefimous said. "If we didn't do anything about it it would die. [Based_Brit] was low energy, lazy, and apathetic about Discord. We just took it all from him. We've given the community new life."

lmao

What is the influence of the alt-right to the overall conservative movement? I know people who identified as alt-right a year or so ago but seem to deny ever saying that now - is the alt-right becoming shunned as it seems to have moved from owning SJW's into full on white nationalism? Also where did this movement come from, a singular thing or multiple things? The alt-right is confusing to me because it seems to encompass a lot of different people/groups that have some overlapping beliefs but get grouped together maybe because they promote each other?

e: also is white nationalism on the rise?

They say out loud what conservatives only think or say in private. They're people who in a healthier economy would just be bog-standard republicans building a career and buying a home, but without those things to occupy them and the added stress of lots of debt they marinate on 4chan all day and nourish their resentments with likeminded creeps.

The big thing they all have in common whether they're mras or racists or gamergate is entitlement and resentment of someone else for not getting what they think they were promised.
