With the red scare being what it is, definitely. It even had some merit, since there actually were left-wingers going to Cuba, Libya and Russia to learn terrorist and military tactics. Today, of course, it's fascist youth in the west doing the same thing in Ukraine, but your average voter have their head too far up their own rear end to have even heard of that.

we've already had multiple neo-nazi terroist attacks that have killed lost of people (see: the church shooting), and nothing has happened, so if anything, I'd say that right wing terrorist today are a greater threat to public safety than the weathermen or whatever ever were.

This cnbc article about the bearwhale has a bunch of quotes from bitcoin enthusiasts about how amateurish the bearwhale seller was for trying to dump that many coins all at once, and doesn't at all address the fact that they basically pooled their resources together so he could sell them all at the market price he wanted to, and then some. The guy made off with millions of their dollars because they had to maintain confidence in the cult.

I heard a joke once: How many crimethincers does it take to change a lightbulb?

As we sat on the grimy roof of the squat, bathed in dying streetlights watching the sun rise, we knew we could do it. We hungrily consumed the last of the dumpstered bagels and gripped each other’s hands in the glow of early morning. And we knew right then, and forever -- if we could change that lightbulb, we could change the entire world.

Oh, there is a lot of Russian agitprop about it but the Azov battalion and their western foreign legionnaires are real.

Interesting thing is how interlinked the Ukrainian and Russian neo-Nazi scenes used to be before the war. Then they started killing each other in Donbass.

pepes could never figure out how to infiltrate antifa, i guess, so in the most exciting ouroboros of stupidity ever, /pol/ started making fake antifa twitter accounts and screencaps of fake blog posts on real antifa websites (using the amazing power of editing html and js) in order to make antifa seem like a scary threat to the media

except nobody from non-retarded media even picked up on it, they just get passed around the alt-right who get more and more scared of the antifa supersoldier ultraterrorist menace who derailed the amtrak train and are planning to poison two liters of soda in grocery stores as part of their war on christmas. both of which are real things I've seen in the past week shared on alt-right circles about how the media never talks about left-wing terror

e: weirdest alt-right take of the day goes to these guys though

did you know that even though the alt-right has been saying net neutrality is bad, it is actually good? because telecom companies are leftists and the FCC are a bunch of SJWs. they both want to regulate what you say and what you see online think it over smart man.

furry subculture has/had a real geek social fallacy problem where everyone has to be accepted under the banner or otherwise you're no better than those people who mock furries, it's not that surprising that it's bred out a lot of egotistical shitheads

and yeah iirc they're overwhelming white and came from middle-class backgrounds, so there's another big reason

Best demonstrated in that one FPlus story where a group of furry roommates invited a guy over who constantly tried to guilt the others into having sex by saying he has a near fatal health condition.

I kinda doubt teenagers are experts on Nazi iconography - so maybe that's actually unironically something they should do.

the only exchange value cryptocurrencies have in any realistic sense, is to finance criminal enterprise and fugitives. That means the primary users are drug dealers/buyers, child pornographers, and Nazis. Weev for instance finances himself off of his bitcoin wallet while he hops around Eastern Europe looking for a place that nobody would recognize him or care who he is.

So when the prices of cryptocurrencies start crashing, like they all have over the last week, it means that the finances of the alt-right are also taking a hit because they're the biggest adopters aside from libertarians.

absolutely

logikv9 said something insightful a couple weeks ago is that the millenials are divided in two camps, the ones who grew up in the 90s tend to be more leftist because wow, we had to go outside frequently~, but the 00s millenials grow up on literal nazi gamers on twitch or whatever dumbshite and are in their own bubble and tend to have deeply insular nazi views.

like the very act of going outside to interact would radically change your worldview instead of this idiocratic shallow hatebubble, that you'd either have to conform or reject it by going deeper into the meme hole that you just can't translate it into the real world to take any action because it just doesn't convert or gel because its up in is own arse trying to be exceptional with its inside jokes that come off as cringe or too esoteric. Kids in this new age are going to have to know the difference, unironically

will it have adversely generational impact, carrying on some crypto-image language to keep up your hateful rhetoric in bite sized packages to indoctrinate people if the internet and the real world eventually converge, eroding a delineated line? :shrug: who the fk knows

I like how buttcoiners use accusations of "ponzi scheme" as a self-evidently ludicrous criticism, but even thinking about it just a little bit makes it obvious that cryptocurrencies are the perfect ponzi scheme.

They're exchanged like commodities even though they have no real physical utility, so they're not a real commodity. Because they're exchanged like commodities their prices are also too volatile to be realistically used as a currency. So the only way for cryptocurrencies to increase in value, is to get new people to buy in to the scheme until the prices become ludicrously inflated.


It's not a cult, they just have insular memes that are esoteric to all outsiders which get ritualistically repeated over and over again. :smug:
