When I want to relax, I read an essay by Engels. When I want something more serious, I read Corto Maltese.

Also they're literally a joke about neo-nazis. That's why they think their race is the purest, have things called Stormvermin, yet are constantly at each others throats. Also the government refuses to admit they're a problem.

dugin is a russian political theorist who is big on esoteric bullshit and facism obsessed with eurasian supremacy.
the symbol below him belongs to dugin’s eurasia party, which are pretty much nazi bolsheviks.

Specifically the Eurasia Party is a rebranding of the National Bolshevik Faction which Dugin split off from Limonov's regular old Nazbol party. AFAIK the NBF is still around, but they're like a shitkicking skinhead racist/sexist/homophobic gang whereas the EP is a "respectable" political wing that gives Dugin the cover of electoral legitimacy.

Back when Trump got elected he did a mea culpa once he realized that holy poo poo Donald J. Trump is the president of the United States of America and everyone's going crazy what the gently caress

To be honest, I think I hate guys like Glenn Beck the most out of these hucksters. I don't really *hate* the crazy, true believers like Buchanan, or the amoral talking heads that only want a paycheck. What makes me hate Beck is that he knows he did a bad thing by peddling lies and eroding public discourse, but still did it anyway. It's the fact that sometimes the mask slips and that there's some shriveled moral barometer in there, but he made no effort to follow it. It's kinda like it's worse to have the capacity to be moral and choose not to, than to be a psychopath who simply doesn't have the brain configuration to understand morals in the first place.

The secret of a show like that working is that both would need a intellectual conscience. And any conservative with that has been ran out ages ago. A conservative with a intellectual conscience left the republican party over the Torture is good thing/lying about the Iraq war.

the original Nazbols under Limonov were avant-garde Stalinists, and Dugin didn’t like the commitment to communism so he formed the NBF as a fascist splitter party. almost everyone online who pretends to be a nazbol is influenced by the Duginists.

Eurasia Party isn’t so much a “split” as it is an actual political party and not just a criminal gang.

I haven't been on SA for years but the person who gave me my previous av as a joke felt guilty for doing so and decided to get me a non-shitty av
Let me plug a friend's project: facebook.tracking.exposed is a project to gather as much data as possible on the Facebook algorithm, and figure out how Facebook decides what news you're going to see on your feed

A recent, relevant finding of the project is that Facebook fascists get a repetitive bombardment of shallow fascist propaganda: mostly photo posts, mostly from fascist pages, and relatively few posts, repeated ad nauseam, multiple times a day



"Michele" is the bot pretending to be a fascist. The vertical axis is how many times the posts were repeated - the bar at the top (29 repetitions) is composed of just three posts. This is probably for two reasons: Facebook only shows you things that you agree with, and fascist sources have a much smaller output than more "moderate" sources. So if you are a fascist, it doesn't matter if you follow pages from the whole political spectrum: fascist stuff is what you're going to see, even if it means seeing the same three posts once, twice a day, for three weeks



I wonder what were the "mainstream" posts repeated so often up there in the 13-19 range. I should ask the guy for the dataset

Other posts on Medium show more data, like the distribution of post types (a fascist news feed is 80-90% photo posts)
