Wait, so people were freaking out that Chelsea Manning is buddies with the alt-right because of a picture that MIGHT be her?

Wishful thinking on that person's part, or the altright both found a perfect double and came up with a cunning plan to ruin her reputation that she didn't just immediately refute for some reason.

The Acaps seems to have basically split between going Hoppeian/alt-right and "Democrats are the real racists!/I don't see color" anti-racism. There's a dude in my town who is hardcore ancap, ran for Congress (and actually got 8% iirc), and even attended the Mises Institute summer camp or whatever, and he regularly is trashing Trump and the alt right. Ditto for my old friend from high school who's also a big Austrian Econ/Rothbard dude.

The split seems to be between guys who got into HBD/race realism and the "classical liberal" folks who are hardcore individualists. There's the whole "scratch a libertarian, find a fascist" thing, but there does seem to be a line that needs to be crossed before they go over.

The HBD and classical liberal split is actually a recent one. Llewellyn Rockwell himself when he founded the Mises Institute intended it to be a neoconfederate organization, since he was a protege of Rothbard's when Rothbard thought the libertarian revolution would be impossible without a race war. They published all sorts of articles lionizing the Confederacy and defending Apartheid South Africa until the 90s, when they realized white nationalism was now verboten and started massively retooling themselves as being anti-racist.

The easiest way to tell if a libertarian is a neoconfederate, is to see how much they're invested into Abe Lincoln actually being a tyrant for suspending the constitution to exercise war powers.

on other forums where I have talked with fascists whenever i cite awn article about a nazi i always copy it,
With a link, and insert a line like “Soandso was previously convicted of molesting a child”

no nazi has ever questioned this enough to check and see that I made it up. i guess being a pedi is just an assumption they make as well

In other news St. Joseph, MN got flyered a few days back.

There's been quite a bit of racial tension between Somalis moving out of the Twin Cities and into parts of greater Minnesota. St. Cloud is more or less the point where outstate rednecks and the greater Twin Cities meet, so it's no surprise that this poo poo is popping up. I'd guess high school or college kids, but I don't know much about it and I've never heard of St. Cloud State having a "White Student Union".



I know that Identity Europa was around town because friends and I went around trashing propaganda that they were leaving up in coffee shops. They also did a banner drop at the Mall of America early last month, but I haven't heard much else.

of course there's a white student union in st. cloud. st cloud may just be the most racist city in MN

All of these theories hinge on her being some sort of covert agent who is only pretending to be leftist to spoil the election, so nothing she explicitly says about "the fascist/white supremacist hate brigade" and other statements to that effect is going to matter to them, apparently

I'm trying to put myself in Chelsea Manning's shoes here. I'm sure she's eager to make a statement, but she is probably unsure of how flippant she should seem and how many emojis she should use. Too goofy and it'll look like she's not taking the situation seriously. Too serious and it'll be off-brand.

I like Chelsea btw.

It wouldn't surprise me if she is/was of the opinion that engaging and 'holding dialogue' with moderate alt-right twitter personalities is an effective form of activism. A winning hearts and minds strategy.

you gotta remember that she spent 7 years cut off from the world, too. when she first got locked up the Soviet Union was still going strong and seen as an imminent threat, the Internet was just barely starting to take off, people still thought the combustion engine was just a fad, and SNL had only had like 3 seasons.

Chelsea's social media presence has seemed a little unsustainable for a while now. She's started to come off a little bit like a cartoon character, because the content she puts out is so samey and repetitive. It's fine if you want to be an icon, but it seems counterproductive for doing anything else.

Or maybe I'm alone in thinking it'll feel strange for her to talk about this controversy or for her to start properly campaigning.

Either way, I hope she's mentality healthy because the US government tortured her for however long.
