Golden State Skinheads is a group the TWP worked with at a Sacramento rally last year when a bunch of anti-fascists organized by BAMN got stabbed / brained in the head with sticks. Nationalist Front (NF) is the name of the coalition that rallied over the weekend with TWP, League of the South, etc.

the Nov. 4 thing also reminds me of pre-clickbait forms of advertising like "The THING is coming.... on Nov. 4."

like in a local newspaper or on local TV.

and everyone in town gets hyped about THE THING and it turns out to be a new vacuum cleaner at the local appliances store.

actually, wasn't the segway one of these? IT IS COMING. AND WILL CHANGE THE WORLD. WHAT IS ... IT?

Wikipedia says he spent 2k dollars robocalling Utah voters to tell them Evan McMullin is a homosexual, so apparently he's got money to burn. I don't see anything about just how rich he is though. He is an attorney so apparently he's made some money.

What did you ever see in Shanley Kane? Was she a total freak in the sack or something? Because I'm just not seeing the attraction.

You're missing the point entirely. It wasn't about attraction. It was about utility. I was banned from computers and I wanted to continue my work for a dialectic that ended in fascism. If I couldn't work as a direct actor, I needed to create proxies. So I took a bunch of women, trained them in Internet trolling, multivariate testing, choice modeling, and liferuining, and I created a new face of cultural Marxism.

Before this era, it was quietly done in HR departments. You'd get fired for bullshit reasons, or passed over for promotions indefinitely for having wrongthink. Only if you were a very visible executive person like Brendan Eich would you ever see it. That doesn't motivate people into action.

So I needed really bad actors running around in public getting people fired, trying to enforce an agenda on things like technology and video games for crowdfunding and media spectacle. They needed to generate a lot of collateral damage, get in a lot of people's faces, and convince them to fight back.

It worked better than I could have possibly imagined. It turns out telling people the merits of fascism isn't as effective at generating fascists as an obnoxious Patreon collector getting their friends fired from their jobs or demanding that video game protagonists all get turned into black genderqueer midgets. Shanley happened to be the highest ratio of collateral damage so a mob of my friends demanded of me that I do something specific to disable her, so I took her off of the board. The rest I put on the board live in permanent fear that I will give them the Shanley treatment as well.

I really don't need to go into how crazy delusional hosed this is, hopefully that just stands on it's own.

I maintain that the shootings ought to be hushed up in national news and specials run that poke fun of the shooters for being the lamest motherfuckers on earth who should be forgotten at earliest possible convenience.

Everybody's already forgotten about the Vegas shooting, so I don't buy for a second that anybody is being "immortalized" from the news cycle wringing every bit of info it can for about 2-3 days before moving on to the next point of interest.

I'm...skeptical...about the whole 'uber troll -> nazism' narrative, for one because it's inherently self-contradictory. You don't reach nazism from a place of ironic detachment, you reach it form the neurotic obsession over the possible threat posed by an Other, for which the only acceptable answer is their death. That's about as 'triggered' as you can get.

One of the therapists mentioned in that article called enoch 'as vulnerable as a peeled grape.', and I think that's more on the money - he's an intensely paranoid person, and the whole irony maneuver isn't a description of what he is, but what he wants to be - a personal fantasy stemming from a wounded ego, possibly mixed in with some self-aggrandizing bullshit ("everyone else is like a religious zealot, but not me, the nazi" is like peak self-serving bullshit from someone incapable of self-reflection).

Well, he also spent basically his entire life as a contrarian without any real belief system of his own. He jumped from radical left (Marxism and Trotskyism) to radical right (Nazism), which is one hell of a swing. He didn't really have any overtly racist beliefs until he somehow logicked himself into "People are different, therefore some people are superior, therefore white people are superior." The way the article is written, he chose racism because it was an easy explanation for inequality and he didn't have the knowledge or drive to learn about more complex principles.

It also seems like he was kind of a shithead even before he became a Nazi. He pissed people off because he would try to start arguments for no good reason (probably because he wanted to see himself as superior by "defeating their logic") and ruined his body and mind by filling it with sketchy drugs bought online to cure his eczema. Even if he hadn't been a Nazi, he would have been a dick.

Yeah, the thing about trolls is that they are personally invested in the positions they articulate, but can’t handle the criticism that comes with good-faith engagement. There are never ironic maoists or anti-racists, unless they’re going for a reductio ad absurdum.
