Today in Breitbart Comments: Breitbarters go all-out Nazi after learning that HBO blabber Bill Maher has declared that he would vote for Hillary Clinton even if she were dead rather than pull the lever for the “#TangerineNightmare” that is Donald Trump.
While that is pretty much my position as well, I’m not exactly a fan of Maher, who regularly says terrible stuff about, among others, Muslims, women, and trans folk.
But none of those things seem to be issues for Breitbarters, whose critiques of Maher center around a rather different set of, er, concerns. By which I mean that what they say about Maher sounds an awful lot like what one might expect to hear from the literal Adolf Hitler, were he alive today and commenting on Breitbart (and for all we know he is).
A “Kapo,” Wikipedia tells us, “was a prisoner in a Nazi concentration camp who was assigned by the SS guards to supervise forced labor or carry out administrative tasks.”
Other Breitbarters have convinced themselves that Maher, in addition to being a “bagelite,” is also gay:
Maher, for what it’s worth, was raised Catholic. “Until his early teens,” Wikipedia notes, “he was unaware that his mother … was Jewish.” Though he’s been dogged by rumors that he’s gay, he says he’s not (not that there’s anything wrong with that).
Also, Muslims as a group don’t throw gay people off roofs any more than Christians as a group bomb abortion clinics. ISIS has thrown gay people off of roofs; extremist pro-lifers have bombed abortion clinics. Neither ISIS militants nor pro-life bombers represent the entire religions whose tenets they profess to follow.
That said, I should note that not all Breitbarters went with the “gay Jew” angle. Some offered thoughtful commentary on human mortality:
One might be tempted to label Breitbart a “basket of deplorables,” in the parlance of our time But that’s an understatement, to put it mildly. To borrow a metaphor from Twitter’s @OhNoSheTwitnt, Breitbert is more like a “gigantic burning dumpster of reprehensibles.”
I always learn new things here. Unfortunately, sometimes what I learn is from the article rather than the comments, and that generally results in knowledge I wish I could unlearn.
Before today, I had never come across the acronym ESAD. I’m slightly judging myself for how quickly I worked it out. I suppose context is everything. But the comments quoted above make me feel like I need several showers.
On the upside, I’ve also learned that I never, ever, ever want to read the Breitbart website, and only interact with people who do (except for the purposes of mockery) with an incredibly long barge pole.
The primary illusion and enchantment through which men must be allowed to pass – minus the social conditioning and brainwashing – is gynocentrism and hyper gynocentrism (feminism). All of Trumps flaws are wrapped in these illusions.
Trump is a TRADCON – the single most destructive force against men to have ever been invented.
The religious right was and still is a stain on humanity. Unfortunately, the newly formed puritanical left hopes to subsume the void the religious right once filled (hypocrisy and double standards).
Both must be destroyed to achieve true equality. Only a Hillary presidency can further the achievement of this end.
I too will vote for Hillary. Only through feminism will men awaken and assist in the destruction of all forms of gynocentrism (cultural misandry and male disposability). TRADCONs needs to suffer a long overdue death. Their rhetoric and hyperbole are hilariously passe.

@MarkyMark
YES IT’S MY CHANCE TO DO THIS
@Dalillama
Yes they are. Quite a bit, in fact. Norway and Sweden actually maintains state monopolies on the liquor trade, to name the starkest example. Citizens who own televisions are charged for using the services provided by government-funded broadcast channels, with no recourse to opt out.
Rather than trying to define Conservatism, Liberalism and Socialism, as absolute sets of conditions, try understanding these terms as a spectrum of the various functions of government (or lack thereof) and the ideological motivations behind such functions.
It’s a lot easier to talk to people that way, since you don’t have to spend hours splitting hairs over definitions and labels.
Part of this makes me weary as I am old enough to have had somewhat older friends who lost relatives – Jewish, Romanian, other – in the concentration camps.
It must be such a different world, to have that era evoke memes and hilarity rather than ever mounting horror, cold, and the death of reason and all hope.
Hi ‘ladies’. Miss me? I see you have. Thanks for the comments. Keep ’em coming.
We already know you’re desperate for attention and some twisted form of acceptance since you’re here making an ass of yourself. You don’t need to pile it on. We pity you enough as it is.
I did miss you! I hope you’re doing well. I mean that sincerely, too!
MarkyMark:
…….I have no idea what anything you said had to do with anything in the article. I know you like to spill your bile everywhere you go but at least make it be relevant bile.
Ahhh. Scildfreja Unnýðnes. I missed you as well. Have anything you’d like to discuss? I hope you’re doing well, too. Share your mind and thoughts, please.
Stop hitting yourself! Stop hitting yourself!
Why you keep hitting yourself?
Right now my thoughts are on work stuff.
How can one disassemble a piece of text and, from it, glean whether the person who wrote it actually understood the thing that they wrote? I’m sort of trying to invoke some procedural tricks to create a semantic network and, from there, verify by way of aggregate and master comparison, then cramalama the whole mess through an inferencer loaded up with OpenCyc, but it’s a heck of a pickle to even make the initial network.
What’re you up to? Doing the rounds on the progressive webspace?

@MM: Like I miss the case of scabies I contracted a few months back.
My thoughts are ‘how can I reduce the complexity of this system yet keep the accuracy of the responses, so that a Regional Burns Controller doesn’t accidentally enter the wrong information from the fire behaviour analyst during a bush fire’. Not normally too bad, but of great use if a fire event hits catastrophic level, as people tend to make mistakes when very stressed, and good design can alleviate some of them.
Well, less ‘thoughts’ and more hypothesis and then going and doing the research.
My most current thought is mild hilarity at an out of control bush fire generated from a mistaken planned burn being called ‘overachieving’ by the state control center.
Thanks for asking!
@LindsayIrene
Well, no, I blame that on the more “serious” cable news-talk shows of the 1990s. But he deserves several eons in Fundamental Bagelite Purgatory for repeatedly giving her another platform on which to her promote her vile self.
“What’re you up to? Doing the rounds on the progressive webspace?”
Oh, absolutely. Progressives are my favs. Very challenging folks. That’s a good thing.
Sounds like a form of artificial intelligence – your work.
I’m deeply involved in how relational entities interact, business processes and how they break down in applications, short and long term disaster recovery, sustainability/requirements, entity impact and archival methods required to comply with regulatory mandates. In short, the life-cycle from front to rear. Data and their relations are my life. Love this stuff. Lucky to be involved. I’m so totally backend (no pun).
Oops LindsayIrene–you did say “partially.” So, yeah, you’re right. Sorry for misreading.
Fundamentalist Bagelite Purgatory is a giant toaster with the timer broken and you don’t pop out anyway because you’re so thick you got caught on the grid inside.
I’m sure OoglyBoggles could do this subject justice, had they world enough and time.
“My most current thought is mild hilarity at an out of control bush fire generated from a mistaken planned burn being called ‘overachieving’ by the state control center.

State, FS or BLM? Love the work you folks do. Have the deepest respect.
I guess we should be grateful that only MarkyMark shows up in these threads, and not his entire Funky Bunch as well. ô.Ô
As for the OP, I really can’t see the logic within the alt-right mindset. On the one hand it seems that they are proud racists and antisemites, on the other they seem to really hate being called out on those things. I guess it’s just a little too different from my own thinking to make sense in my brain. I also have to admit that I’m not familiar with Mr. Bill Maher apart from pictures and a few GIFs of him I’ve seen over the years. Needless to say, no-one deserves to get such a torrent of abuse and I do hope that both Mr. Maher and his nearest and dearest are safe and coping well with the situation (assuming of course that they’re even aware of the goings-on at Breitbart).
Ohes noes, our lady cards have been revoked by the ultimate governing body of lady cards! (A man. Lady cards are given or taken away by men.) No longer shall we have doors opened for us, nor bus seats offered to us, nor shall we be treated with the basic respect and decency all human beings deserve. These are privileges reserved for ladies. Mere women must suffer without.
@Mark, I’m on a phone so can’t reply in depth. Will do so later.
I am an artificial intelligence researcher working for an educational analytics lab. I get to grapple with questions like “what is knowledge, and how do we do statistics to it?”
What sort of challenge are you looking for when you go wandering the progressive Web space?
