The alt-right celebrated Hillary Clinton’s speech yesterday on the alt-right by posting a host of memes on Twitter purporting to explain what #AltRightMeans.
So for today’s episode of Memeday, let’s look at this unique self-portrait of and by some of the worst people on planet earth.
According to them, alt-right means:

I can only assume Fionn here never actually watched Mad Men, because Don Draper would have reacted to all this Nazi gibberish with, well, you know:

BRB, joining the alt-right.
More on Hillary’s speech and the alt-right tomorrow, probably.
NOTE: In case it wasn’t obvious, that last tweet from Wolf (@boissongazeuse) with the dawgie in it is a joke; the guy who posted it is not actually a Nazi.
@ Buttercup
Aww, that’s so sweet (and I love the reason behind it).
I guess the best thing about a dog wedding will be when the bride throws the bouquet. The first dog to catch it will just bring it back to be thrown again.
Incidentally, pretty much every alt-right moron suspects all the others of being Jewish/SJW plants. Even Andrew fucking Anglin was under scrutiny at some point – and he’s put extensive scrutiny on everyone else.
Alternatively, every alt-righter who casts doubt on the others is a Jewish/SJW plant. Which goes back full-circle to all of them being plants.
There’s a lot of paranoia going on in there about that. I guess it never occurred to them that they are in fact a big old bunch of actual fuckwads.
Cool! You have heather eyes! Those are pretty rare. Mine are mostly blue with a bit of grey and they sometimes look greenish but no brown.
@Moggie
Whoops, I was wrong. That’s what I get for being pedantic.
OT: Phil Sandlifer posted his bonus essay on GG
http://www.eruditorumpress.com/blog/the-blind-all-seeing-eye-of-gamergate/
In a biology class in secondary school, we had to write down our eye colour, or a description of it from someone else. According to my friend, my eyes were ‘sewage’ coloured, haha. I’ve used that description since 🙂
Re: eyes
Just looked at mine in a mirror, cos why not. Are they supposed to be this… shiny? They’re, like, glistening and gleaming or some shit, and it’s mildly weirding me out. Have they always? Do everyone’s?
@ Axe
Do you have dreams about unicorns?
If so, you might want to brace yourself for some news….
(in serious news I think eyes are meant to glisten if they’re healthily lubricated)
@Alan
I have been getting more water. Had a dehydration related thing a while back, and it looked like it might be recurring. I keep an old alfredo sauce jar fulla water in the fridge, and I’ve been tryna stick to at least 1 jar per meal. TMI, but clear pee is the best pee
I’m sure that’s clever, but it flew right past me. Tho, I did have a dream yesterday that fucked me up. I was asleep for maybe 3 hours, felt like a whole day. Bad dream, suffice it to say. Wasn’t going back to sleep after that, cos fuck that noise. Getting up just then was outta the question. The pillow had betrayed me, so I just put my head on the bed proper. Spent the next few minutes discerning reality *shudders*
@ Axe
@Alan
*Googles* Ah! Never seen it *activates spoiler shield/quickly closes tab*
I stay within acceptable limits. Pretty strict on what counts as a ‘meal’. Cereal counts, but that’s half liquid already. Also not that big a jar. Quarts not gallons. Appreciate the concern 🙂
this “white genocide” stuff, man, I just don’t get it. i mean, even leaving aside the absurdity of calling shit like portraying interracial couples in media “genocide,” where the fuck do they live in “the West” where they’re in danger of running out of white people? where i live (in the midwestern USA, in a largely urban/suburban area) there’s a fair number of non-white people (for the midwest anyway, i think) but i rarely see interracial couples. i’m glad that interracial relationships are becoming more and more acceptable but given that i think it’s fairly well established scientifically that people have a tendency to be attracted to people that look like them (correct me if i’m wrong about this. i’m not a scientist and what stuff i’ve read about it was far from rigorous research… or research at all), for better or worse i don’t think it’s likely that humanity is all going to be one uniform shade of brown anytime soon.
Dear alt-right: if you’re so sure that “white genocide” is a thing and you want to stop it, STOP MAKING IT SO APPEALING. I’m a white dude myself – and at this point I’d be totally OK with it as long as I got to help shove you fucks into the oven just before I went in. I’m not just embarrassed to share genetic stock with you, I’m sad we’re the same SPECIES.
On the topic of ‘white genocide’; it’s a case of fractal stupidity – none of these horseapples have taken even a cursory glance at genetics or basic biology.
(Warning I am about to get ranty. Sorry!)
YOU CAN’T LOSE GENETIC MATERIAL BY RACIAL MIXING. AT ALL. EVER.
That’s not how genes work! Recessive/ unphenotypically expressed genes are still there, in your offspring, and if the genes coding for white skin are so all-fired superior to everything else (spoiler: probably not, except in very specific circumstances) they’ll express back out into the population over time. BECAUSE THEY ARE STILL THERE.
The ONLY way populations lose genetic material is by dying without passing on genes to offspring. You know what causes that? WAR. You know what doesn’t cause that? Interracial dating.
Fuck’s sake, if you want to keep [random genetic trait] around in human populations, go on a fucking PEACE MARCH. Donate to end world hunger! Adopt stronger gun control! ALL THESE THINGS WILL ACTUALLY WORK and also empirically make the world a better place without you being a racist shithead.
Sorry, this particular brand of virulent stupidity pisses me off, because it’s such an idiotic argument. SCIENCE. LEARN IT.
@Alan
Are you kidding me!
Although illegal, that was a wonderfully romantic gesture.
PS: I live in San Francisco, where Church Street and Market Street intersect. There’s an underground train stop and a giant supermarket there, so it’s a pretty major cross-section.
@JoeB
I shared that alt-right cartoon with my boyfriend.
He promptly put it on his Facebook page. He spends waaay too much time battling Trump supporters on Facebook. But he’s really funny when he does it.
Sample:
Trump supporter: How’s it feel to be an effeminate cuckold?
My boyfriend: It feels great! And let me tell you why. It’s because I’m smart enough not to fall for Trump’s lies. I’m smart enough not to buy his bridge. I’m smart enough not to purchase his magic beans. Thanks for asking!
@Weatherwax
Right! In this campaign, that’s a natural enough response.
Have you seen this latest bizarre development?

Speaking of Rick and Morty, this:
This is a real court case that was typed down by a stenographer in a courtroom and then voice acted by Justin Roiland.
A really real case for real.
This happened in real life. Two months ago. And the video is a couple weeks old. I never knew about it, so it’s news to me, so let me just put the links here.
@NiOg
I never thought of that. Well said!
That Jesus one is outrageous, but it was only a matter of time that they drew the conclusion that Jesus was an evil Jooooo! That quote as well sounds an awful lot like socialism. So there you have it, Cultural Marxism again. (yaaawwwnn). I wonder what they think when David Dukes goes all doey eyed about Jesus being his (white, presumably) Lord and Saviour?!!
Re diversity and white genocide, the only genocide I see here is a massacre of straw men. Nobody has ever suggested that we need immigration to increase the diversity of the USA or anywhere else, merely that these lunkheads recognise the diversity which is already there and respect it. And that’s not just about race of course. Nor do I recall anyone pushing race mixing in the biological sense, except the cringeworthy Blue Mink ‘Melting Pot’ song. It’s not so much that race doesn’t exist so much as it’s an arbitrary and inconsistent scheme of classification and as such, no meaningful improvement can be expected from policies based on it (except policies intended to address racism and suchlike).
Did you catch the dog-whistle in that Konrad Heiden meme? The bit about protecting the future of their people and their children? It’s a blatant shout out to the ’14 words’ of White Nationalism:
I’m sure there are many other such dog whistles but I can’t bring myself to read all of this slop just now. It makes me too frustrated.
@Moggie:
Are masculate and viscerate real words? What would viscerate even mean?
I think it’s to do with movement or removal, like “evisceration” is the eversion or removal of the viscera. Now, if anyone can explain how “disgruntled” works (is “gruntled” a word?), I’ll be forever thankful.
Gruntle is a word. It means to utter little grunts. “Dis” in English was combined with “de” or some shit a while back, so now “dis” in English means “separation” or “intensification” or whatever.
Also, the English language sucks and makes no sense.
