Hitler was a very nice fellow until SJWs started calling him a Nazi.: Today in Tweets

reimalebario : darkly, they want more nazis. They prefer their opponent to be nazis too.

I’m not going to thank anyone for saying “Nazis are bad”.

That’s like the guys who say “But I’m a nice guy, I don’t hit women.” No – that doesn’t make you nice, it makes you a human being.

@Bacon People seem to be getting very mixed up about the meaning of “free speech”. Free speech means anyone can hold/express any opinion they want without persecution for it. So far, so fair enough; without that basic right, you are living in, well, a repressive police state.

“Free speech” does NOT mean you are automatically entitled to a platform and a polite audience (which seems to be the current interpretation). You have a right to say what you want; the people you say it to have the right to exercise THEIR free speech and tell you they think you’re full of shit and they don’t want to listen to you and here, have a rotten tomato in the face.

I really think we need to get away from the “you must listen to me politely because FREEZE PEACH!” mentality and start encouraging people to exercise their free speech right to say “Nazis, fuck off.”

Disclaimer : don’t get yer hopes up too soon, this might be fake, so grab a bag o’ salt or two or twelve.

So there’s an article on the Daily Stormer claiming Anonymous are now in control of the site and will allow it to exist for another 24 hours before shutting it down permanently.

I’m not quite sure what to make of it, it might be entirely made up. Read it for yourselves, for once it’s an article on the DS that doesn’t need to come with all the content warnings ever – even the comments are shut down, so no worries even on that side.

This comes along with the ultimatum from that hosting service (not too fucking soon, assholes), and it weirdly mentions “standing behind the Jewish people”, which seems a bit weird to me because for once the Nazis have been toning down the anti-semitism (mostly to make more room for black hate, but still) – the fact that Your Anon News and other prominent accounts associated with Anonymous have denied any involvement makes the whole thing sound like Anglin’s just trying to make up a new Jewish Conspiracy (TM) against his rag.

@Sinkable John:
The Guardian has quoted an anonymous Anonymous source as suggesting that this is a stunt by the Daily Stormer themselves to distract attention.

@EJ

Yeah, that “24 hours” thing reads to me a lot like they’re tryna make that situation with the host look like they’ve been hacked instead.

Not to mention the part about “we tracked down Anglin and our allies are on their way to his location”. Part of me wishes there is indeed a bunch of hackers reenacting and modernizing the post-Nuremberg nazi hunts of old, but right now that looks a lot more like Anglin’s own fantasies.

@Ohlmann
Yeah, it gets bad. I once moderated content that needed to be safe for all ages and the only thing that makes you want to open up that flagged content is knowing you’re protecting kids. I’ll never view the world the same way again. And you think you know how bad it gets from coming here, but believe me, it’s worse. I voluntarily come here, but there’s no way I would voluntarily subject myself to completely unfiltered Internet content without good reason (like moderating again), nor is there anything to mock in that really bad part of humanity that most people thankfully never get exposed to. The shit from the past couple of days is really fucking evil and awful, but there’s an even worse evil out there. Though there’s likely some overlap in the creators of the shit we’re seeing around Charlottesville and the content I’m referring to.

Anonymous have hacked it !

I’ve stepped up the shaming on Facebook. My parents have nothing to say about white supremacist marching and protestors being hit with cars. My father decided now was the time to shame Starbucks because of immigrants and TB.

I think this is what I need to do on my blog. Write about what my family is posting. It feels right, like that’s a strategic benefit I’ve been looking for.

@kupo

I remember reading some stuff about this a few years ago… big companies like facebook outsource their moderation, and the companies that do the actual grunt work have high staff turnover and instances of PTSD.

This was probably the article:

https://www.wired.com/2014/10/content-moderation/

Roll on automated filtering systems that don’t suck, and more effective means of punishing the egregious assholes.

The Guardian has quoted an anonymous Anonymous source as suggesting that this is a stunt by the Daily Stormer themselves to distract attention.

This is probably true; people are usually quick to accuse others of things they are guilty of themselves, and the alt-right, neo-nazis, and white supremacists have been rather prolific in their accusations of “false-flag operations” every time one of theirs does something especially illegal and obvious….

Maybe this is the point where people finally start turning against Trumpism, recognizing what it really is, and realizing that it’s too dangerous to tolerate.

Not a chance. This is exactly what the dumpster was elected for. The 30+million who voted for him specifically and exclusively because they liked his bigotry, and the 30+million who were practicing “Synchronized Denial”, but were willing and able to excuse his bigotry.

This bigot base is going to continue to find ways to justify not condemning the nazis. These people have been practicing victim blaming their whole lives, they’re not going to stop just at the moment when they see a chance to actually destroy the people who don’t look like them.

Daily Stormer clearly not “hacked by anonymous”. Their front page looks just the same as before, with one newly posted article claiming a hack.

Source HTML of the front page has none of the usual “I hacked this” signatures, or anything indicating a real hack by an enemy of the site. Real hack would have removed much more of the site’s hate speech.

This “hacker” even left up the slur-filled excuse for the death of Heather in Charlottesville.

This is their response to being told “find a new website host” by GoDaddy.

I was led to believe the number for emergency services was 0118-999-881-999-119-7253.

Edit: @Scild
Happy monday! Here’s hoping for a better week. Today I start my new job!
