Honestly i've always thought the whole 'silent indignation' thing was self-defeating - the whole point of indignation is the transfer the blame onto your opponents, which means they have to feel it. But, human beings being what they are, if you simply refuse to engage, the most self-serving interpretation of that, is that you can't, not what you won't.

The best indignation is philosophical, the one that uproots and shows to the entire world, the rotten foundation of the worldview of people like richard spencer. the art of that seems lost, but it's something i personally try to hone

actually, no, it's not a lost art - it's because liberalism itself doesn't have the ideological tools to do that exposure. racism is about Bad Men doing Bad Things, not a system of exploitation rooted in economics

one of the things i've noticed really diving into these podcasts and talks given at conferences is their strategy of trying to bait the left into lashing out. obviously we've seen them try to do this over and over again. the "it's okay to be white" flyer effort is the latest example. they talk about it like they're waging an insurgency.

it's a strategy of escalating to provoke an overreaction; with the goal being to have the left push far-right sympathizers further right. but this strategy also seems like a crapshoot. they're waging a culture war but an occasionally violent one, and the thing about any conflict is that there are so many unknown variables that happen when the rubber meets the road; like the driver of that car who plowed into the crowd. charlottesville was an attempt to escalate to provoke an overreaction, but one of their own overreacted to the left-wing counter-escalation.

it's pure foquismo. the objective conditions for the revolution don't exist so the focos will spark a conflict in order to generate popular support. but that's stupid. and they're not waging an armed struggle against the government but are trying to provoke an armed conflict with other americans. insane.

the big news on the alt-right now is the disinvitation of faith goldy from an event with jordan peterson.

peterson defended it but i don't care to watch this blah blah :words:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8zLcMGCedA

goldy is a white nationalist twitter personality who worked for rebel media until she got sacked for going 14/88 at charlottesville



how do you do fellow kids

i don't know much about her. but first of all, she's wearing that hunter's camo shirt despite being the private boarding-school-educated daughter of a toronto physician. secondly is that wikipedia lists her birthdate as 1989 which makes her either 27 or 28. she looks 10 years older than that and has had some work done but what do i know her whole deal is weird

and the specific reason she got sacked was doing an interview *for* azzmador; who isn't a richard spencer / plausibly deniable nazi he's straight-up old-school

thats why all this stuff isnt real, in a way. i dont mean to trivialize it, but when it becomes real everyone freaks out and starts to question their tactics. when its all just words and irony its one thing, when people :killing: its another

When you proceed from the assumption that everyone places race at the apex of their self-identity then it makes more sense as a strategy. They see anger at the NFL protests and BLM and assume that there's a core of Americans who are ready for RAHOWA, but they're too myopic to realize that that's just the low-level background racism that permeates our culture instead of a hill that people are willing to kill and die on.

Whiteys get mad at the NFL and BLM because they feel like they're personally being accused of racism. The underlying implication being that they don't think of themselves as racist, and certainly not racist enough to start killing their black neighbors and send them all back to Africa.

I think we might have talked about it earlier in the thread, but one of the members of the Weather Underground talked about how the egotism of extremists prevents them from realizing that most of the population will never embrace their ideas. The Weathermen saw their relatively low numbers as proof that there was a vast swell of left-wing extremists who were just waiting in the wings and never really thought twice when their circle got smaller and smaller. Probably the same with Nazis, but shittier because they're shittier people.

It's a really bad gambit, and its success seems dependent on a number of "bad" assumptions, particularly:

1) People so trolled will not change or adapt, and will remain "triggerable" no matter how far escalated it gets.
2) People are too dumb to recognize that they are being trolled or manipulated.
3) Systemic support for their actions will remain. We'll see how long Twitter and Facebook remain ostensibly supportive, and whether or not the social media companies are functioning as a honeypot for these people. Twitter and Facebook's stock, both financial and with the public consciousness, is going to start sharply falling if they keep bolstering a demographic minority that advocates violence against everyone else. It's extremely clear that these companies are violating their own Terms of Service and abusing their real, actual userbase so that these people CAN HAVE A FAIR CRY OUT ABOUT THEIR POLITICS.

It's also only a matter of time before these same groups decide to "flip over" Facebook, because they'll inevitably, and unless I'm mistaken already do, perceive Mark Zuckerberg as a threat. These same people fetishize destroying systems from within.

4) Their control over their own ranks. Lotta dimensions to this last one. People both individually and as a group are extremely fallible and bad at things, especially when it comes to NEETs and the people who Handle NEETs.

i just dont think the whole "moral arc of the universe" aka "it will all work out and we wont get fascism" line works my dude. by definition ideologies like Nazism that view seizing power as a Good Thing are going to focus on that and should be much more worrisome than nits like the Weather Underground

poo poo has to get way worse in the United States than "it's really hard for gamers to get a white girlfriend" for Nazism to take power in America. Just compare all the Nazi rallies here to the massive 60,000 man demonstration in Warsaw.
