After Hillary puts them in the spotlight, Nazis Nazi-splain the alt-right on Twitter

This is interesting and all, but I also had a productive day. We stapled 18 expired Slim Jims together into a long rope, then tried to make a miniature dachshund jump skiprope with it. The experiment was ultimately a failure, but that’s just how it is with science projects.

@Rabid Rabbit, @ooglyboggles
I’m going to echo ooglyboggles and thank Rabid Rabbit and the Canadian newspaper editor.

I used to know someone who lived in St. John’s, Newfoundland, for five years. (New-fund-land, she would say. That’s how the natives pronounce it.) According to her, St. John’s isn’t a progressive place. It’s also pretty poor. Of course, the place may have changed since she lived there in the 1960s and 1970s.

Far-right assholes of nearly all sorts (except those who are honest and proud of being assholes) resent being explicitly called what they are. Our racist anti-immigration party has been known to compare being called racist to… saying racist things? (whu…?) Problem is, they are not fooling anyone, and they are frequently called out on their racist bullshit. To justify their persecution complex, they have made up a fictional group of white non-muslims who want our proud country to turn into an oppressive islamic state where whites are a silenced, tread-upon minority because… reasons. Yeah, no motive is ever presented.

It is imperative for far-right groups that their insults (like, for instance, cuck or SJW) are never properly defined. That way, they can continue calling specific people that name while still reserving the right to define the word however they see fit in other contexts, thus creating an illusion that the dreaded “other extreme” (think commies or satanists) exists and is not merely part of their make-believe version of reality. In short, having their cake and eating it too.

On the flipside, they wish the negative things said about them to have very specific, narrow meanings that nobody ever qualifies for. “Nazi” is a comic book villain. “Racist” is someone who is openly and proudly racist and has murdered at least a dozen non-white people and admitted to being motivated by racism in doing so (come to think of it, even that seems to never qualify, as was the case with Dylann Roof)*. A misogynist must walk around with a sign stating as much, otherwise there’s always reasonable doubt that maybe, just maybe, he’s really a good guy who just really, really often says and does some very, very misogynistic things. And maybe the sign is just irony or something, a bold statement against the terrible gynocracy, which is real, by the way, and how dare you say misandry is not an actual thing in our society did you know a woman rejected me yesterday and also I’m not the CEO of a multinational corporation and I have a female boss so sexism can’t be real checkmate feminsits

Point being, a far-righter always resents clear definitions, i.e. calling a spade a spade, and, of course, they hate historical and social context. Context is misandry, after all, and apparently, it is also white genocide.

*Unless we find a case of a non-white person saying something mean about or to a white person, then it’s a clear-cut case of reverse racism.

You make some excellent points. Thanks!

My late, proto-MRA, old-school-right father was very good at couching his attacks in vague terms. “Your mother has me so shook up,” he’d say, “I don’t know whether I’m coming or going.”

Because . . .? Yeah, that was a big effin’ mystery.

I told my boyfriend about this statement my father repeated a lot. He marveled at my father’s apparent extreme fragility.

Trump’s campaign manager not a fan of Teh Jooos, shockingly:

Anti-Semitic Trump campaign CEO Stephen Bannon not a big fan of ‘whiny brat’ Jews, ex-wife says

@Sheila, @Moggie, @Axecalibur

What’s the occasion? Why am I getting all these presents?!

Thanks!

Is the pug part of that spread? Or are the snacks being presented to him?

@Kat

Why am I getting all these presents?!

Trump’s campaign: the gift that keeps on giving… and siphoning all hope from the soul of a nation… *forced smile* Yay!?

David Futrelle,

Whatever is going on in this picture. Which actually looks sort of delicious.

Is @boissongazeuse saying that being alt right means that you enjoy eating dogs? I guess that’s what he’s saying since why would he show a picture of a dog on a plate.

That doesn’t look delicious to me, It looks like that guy loves to eat his pets. I think we might want to keep our dogs and cats locked up, if he’s in the neighborhood.

@that article about Bannon registering to vote using vacant house:

He changed his registration! Now he’s apparently living with one of his writers, still in Florida:

Solid choice, fellow. I wonder if the charges stack? This seems to be the third wrong address he’s given in a row, that’s 15 years in jail!

I’m going to be quite surprised if Bannon actually gets nailed for this.

One of the Guardian articles about him mentions that Bannon has four bankruptcies to his name.
