a solid line of 'he targets private individuals for harassment, he's not just some conservative speaker and should not be allowed into colleges where he will endanger students' would be helpful but probably won't be allowed to form when the news can just find the most incoherent member of the crowd to interview

McGlockenshire posted:Yeah but there's a huge gulf between punching a nazi in the face on an as-needed basis and what the agitators did in Berkeley last night. The strategic argument for the Berkeley action is less about clobbering a particular nazi and more about letting liberal university decision-makers know that if they allow shock jocks to visit the university to harass students, the students will take care of their own defence at the cost of the university.

rudatron posted:Liberals love to condescend to the left, because the left challenges their self image in the way the right doesn't. I tend to frame it in terms of a heroic historical narrative. 'Left' liberals like to think of themselves as the left, the heroes of history engaged in a battle for good with the right, the (sometimes honourable) bad guys. So being opposed by the right validates this self image. Being challenged from the left undercuts this idea and positions them as the bad guys according to their own professed ideals of aiding the downtrodden, advancing toward a better world as the heralds of Progress, etc.

It won't sink Milo among his dedicated Internet fans but it's derailed his ticket to the big time. That was dependent on him being seen as 'dangerous (tee hee)' not actually dangerous, and being painted as a sicko pervert threatening their kids has moved him firmly from the former to the latter among a lot of people whose opinions matter. Milo never had anything interesting to say, but was famous for being infamous. With the loss of all his big platforms there's nothing to distinguish him from any other alt-right nobody bilking infantile ex-gamergaters. He'll still be around and presumably still target individuals to try to rebuild profile, but he's had a massive setback and could spiral down as well as up.

Of course that just begs the question of why being a paedophile didn't hurt Trump, but I guess 1. he's not gay and 2. there's much more incentive to ignore or explain away behavior by someone promising to restore white power in America than someone promising to annoy people you don't like.

Pener Kropoopkin posted:It's because the claim that Trump raped a little girl is easily dismissible if you don't want to believe it. All the sexual assault he did to adults is what took all the mental gymnastics. There's also the stuff about dressing rooms but yeah, it's much more easily dismissible than what Milo was hit with. The big scandal involved being caught on tape in both cases.

i'm not gonna dismiss the idea out of hand but i do hear 'the alt-right are changing the world with their advanced meme warfare' claimed far more often than i see it demonstrated trump won on the basis of aging whites who don't know what a 'meme' is, and the far right is gaining traction because of the incompetence and cruelty of the contemporary centre. null hypothesis about cartoon frogs is surely that they're just the contingent manifestation of the politics produced by these forces.

Trumps Baby Hands posted:"spammed this at [victim #1] let's see if he dies" really shows the disconnect people have between their behavior online and irl. saying something that flippant about a sustained effort to hurt someone is bizarre. it's like all the death threats that insane people openly tweet to women who have opinions about video games. it's just not something that people would do pre-internet (well, I guess people used to send death-threats via letters to public figures they disliked, but they weren't doing that for the lols/retweets) warm take: the same alienated 'internet not real lol' attitude that makes it easy to do that is also behind the bad complaints about how deliberately giving someone a seizure being illegal is silly because it's 'going to jail for a tweet' or the like. it was & is a popular attitude but was never actually true or healthy, and has become less so as the internet has become more pervasive and important the internet is sounds and images and social interaction and all those things are important to people's lives, sometimes to the extent they cause their brains to crash, which is bad that said I absolutely believe people did this before the internet, they just had different excuses and couldn't broadcast so far

there's an legitimate concern with how to protect workers with opinions like 'unions are good' or 'don't vote republican' from retaliation but that's kind of a conversation to have tomorrow, after you deal today with the concrete case of a dude who just told stirred up a ton of poo poo, created a giant PR crisis, and can't be trusted to do interviews or review his peers' work
