Yep, and again in the case of my friends, the more extreme they are in the alt-right stuff the more true this is in them.

Frustration and insecurity leads to fascism, so it's not surprising that your more hapless friend's are further down the rabbit hole.

Might be time to cut the cord and move on to better friends.

I totally agree. I wonder whether it's possible to have an innocuous or non-toxic white-masculine identity or whether that's even possible. It seems possible to me?

Only white guys smash each other with bottles and chairs. Their idea of what a barfight looks like comes from movies and tv.

Are we ignoring the role of the FBI? The story goes that they demanded a monopoly on the moderation of the /b/ board (I assume in exchange for not seizing and shutting down the whole site), and they didn't care about moderation, just about busting pedophiles (which meant silently encouraging pedophiles). This left /b/ essentially unmoderated for years. Allegedly

I went to /b/ once. First post on the page was child porn. Never went back both because who wants to see that disgusting poo poo(?!) and because I figured the place was positively dripping with feds.

ive always been a bigger stroud fan because the premise of his show was (from what the audience could see, no knowing if he cheated) just him and his camera equipment in the wild. also he didnt kill critters without a good reason or constantly drink his own piss while telling everybody how he was in the sas.

Stroud made an interesting show that showcased actual survival skills and he only stopped because that poo poo was legit destroying his body.

I once saw Grylls suggest that a good emergency source of fluid in the savannah regions of Africa was to squeeze it out of elephant poo poo, which is an excellent way to die.

He started doing it again lately, and it's clear he's moving slower than he used to (not that he ever really rushed about), and many of the episodes has his son or Bob Wilson along. Stroud rules, and now that I've said that I'm sure someone will disclose he's a monarchist or something horrible.

Nah, he's a chill Canadian dad. I met him once after his band played a concert at a venue in my town. Told him that my dad loved his show and he wrote him a little note on the back of his set list. Dad thought it was awesome.

To everyone saying "The Alt-Right is done", I suspect you underestimate how deep in the tank most of these people are. There is a portion of the internet trained to hate "The Enemy" --- the "SJWs", the "Progressives", the Anita Sarkeeseans, and the rally won't change that. From what I've seen, they're actually just blaming the entire rally on SJWs n' poo poo, and, considering I've been getting angry PMs on Discord telling me that "THERE'S BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS, PROGRESSIVE", well...

Yeah, unless we smash both the underlying social and economic roots of this movement, it'll keep coming back.

Let them hide in their lovely internet holes or come out and get smashed. Either option is perfectly fine with me, though if they decided that mass suicide was the best way forward I wouldn't object.

DOCTOR ZIMBARDO posted:

lol thanks for this, i exchanged a few words with this toad on friday night and i'm happy to see he had a worse weekend than i did.

I think i'm ready to post a little about my experience so, strap in. maybe i'll turn some of this into some larger essays and sort of organize it a little better.

~~~
when i was invited to come down, someone had mentioned it was a chance for me to get some use out of some gas masks that i had bought after the election. after all, the cops had used chemical weapons liberally back in june the first time all this went down. so i was kind of macho about it and thought it could be really cool. when i was subsequently informed that virginia has a very strict anti-mask law, and that the Commonwealth was prosecuting people for wearing bandanas to protect themselves from gas, it actually caused me to feel afraid and then ashamed. it was sort of an object lesson in white privilege for me, "that" woke white guy. so i just have to get that out of the way before i talk about the rest.

i was a block or two away from the terrorist when he struck down heather and injured all those other people. i can't shake the feeling that someone who i met earlier in the day, whose hand i shook, was her; i can't confirm it either. she (heather or not) was one of many people who thanked me over the weekend for helping her feel safer (sorry but i'm not going to disclose exactly what i was doing). it really hurts and is a source of deep conflicting feelings for me that i wasn't able to do anything to stop the coward james alex fields jr. i don't really have much else to say about heather right now except that i'm sorry.

the big takeaway from this weekend is despite the actions of a cowardly terrorist, the people won against the fascists, in spite of the police. so let's go back and run through things more chronologically.

i know people here talked about the cops on friday night at the torch march, who stood by as fascists beat anti-racist people who had linked arms, sang and prayed in front of a statue of thomas jefferson. the fascists chased them off by beating them with tiki torches and throwing one into the crowd (spraying kerosene everywhere). then the fascists posed for photographs, chanted and sang jovially as others screamed, and then walked away. then the cops (who had been standing by, watching) took out their batons and cleared the remaining anti-racist protesters from the square. there is no doubt in my mind whose side the police were on, and whose side the police are on.

the next day, all kinds of people came out to stop them. one of the most moving displays for me was the clergy - local (thanks to the methodists? who let us use the church bathroom) and some national people too. cornel west was there for instance. they locked arms and stood on the steps of the park. the fascists showed up and beelined for them. instead of fighting, the clergy stood aside and continued their prayer and song, letting the fascists in two at a time - into the small area of emancipation park designated for counterprotesters. this was a very clever bit of totally nonviolent resistance that left the fascists half-kettled and blocked in to an area that couldn't fit all of them. to get out and use the rest of the park, they had to walk back through the hostile crowds. even after the clergy people left that area, it kept confusing the fascists, who kept trying to go into that area and doubling back or climbing over other barricades. at least that was my view of it.

i saw other things too, things i can't even describe, that just filled me with hope and joy that day. after five or six separate fascist groups arrived (they used rental vans to drop off groups of 20-40 people at a time and then walk up the street to the park), a LARGE group that might have been BLM arrived with drums, it was electrifying and just really inspiring. it was great to see people from across the left (and even liberals) be so resolute and unite against them using the full diversity of tactics without snitching or self-policing (that i saw anyway). i did not see the sort of obnoxious adventurism or riot tourism that some people talk about.

some big takeaways for YOU the reader are
to get organized however you can - link up with people and get political. go to meetings and marches. fight the reactionary forces however you can, everywhere you can. mass politics, not electoral politics or elite politics or (lol) the police are what beat fascism.
step back and let people who feel the brunt of fascism more than you take center stage.
do not snitch on antifa or black lives matter or "the anarchists" or anyone for opposing the fascists. organize and perform collective self-defense.
the police will not protect you unless you are a nonthreatening white person (even then they did not protect heather); organize and perform collective self-defense. fascists understand that the carceral state - the new jim crow - is their ally.
your time and energy and resources are limited - do not use them to defend the rights of fascists to speak.
fascist speech is a material, direct, and imminent threat to all of society. they are gathering the power to kill.
fascists are cowards. they will jump you if they can; watch your back and never go alone when fascists are near.
take care of yourself and each other.
love
