Andrew Anglin, professional Nazi troll and founder of The Daily Stormer, generally does not have a lot of nice things to say about women, not even white ones. This is a guy who once described women as “disgusting sex perverts” whose “entire existence … revolves around sexual derangement.” This is a guy who hailed Vladimir Putin’s move to decriminalize “slapping hoes [and] bitches,” declaring that “[j]ust as it is axiomatic that Jews belong in the oven, so is it that women deserve to be slapped.”
But he’s willing to make a few exceptions to his “all women are terrible” stance. He’s a big fan of “Aryan Goddess” Taylor Swift. And he wants the United States to put Eva Braun on the $10 bill.
Now he has a new crush: the 18-year-old kid sister of Charleston church shooter Dylann Roof.
Morgan Roof is in the news after being arrested yesterday for allegedly bringing a knife, pepper spray, and marijuana to school. School officials were also alarmed by a message she posted on Snapchat expressing her hope that the students walking out yesterday to protest gun violence would end up dead. “I hope it’s a trap and y’all get shot,” she wrote, “we know it’s fixing to be nothing but black people walkin out anyway.”
Anglin’s reaction? “I’m in love.”
In a post on the Daily Stormer today, Anglin hailed the young lass as “HAWT” and begged her to get in touch with him.
“How hilarious would it be if I dated Dylann Roof’s sister?” he wrote.
Can you even imagine? I think the entire staff of the SPLC would have heart attacks simultaneously.
Addressing Miss Roof directly, he declared:
Just so you understand, I am not simply a heavily accomplished genius and a key influence on your brother’s writing … I am also an extremely handsome man in peak physical condition.
Anglin went on to admit that he was sort of joking about all this. Or maybe not. “I have a sort-of gf right now,” he confessed, “and I live in Nigeria so the dating part is a joke (mostly), but we should be friends for sure.” (Note: He doesn’t actually live in Nigeria. He’s a troll.)
On Gab. Anglin posted a picture of the two of them as the happy parents of a small horde of miniature Dylann Roofs.
Turns out that Anglin isn’t the only alt-right shitlord who is smitten by the young Miss Roof. On Twitter, assorted shitposters — some predictably sporting Pepe avatars and vaguely anti-Semitic handles — are openly declaring their love, or at least their lust, for this new Aryan Goddess.

One imagined a utopian future with Miss Roof that looked pretty much identical to Anglin’s Aryan wet dream:

Another posed this elemental question:

On Gab — that sort-of Twitter clone for people who’ve been kicked off Twitter for being racist assholes — Morgan’s fans were equally enthusiastic, with many of them seriously hoping she could be recruited to the alt-right.
But not everyone in the far-right fever swamps is a Morgan fan. Some are unconvinced she has sufficient moral purity to become a true icon of the right.
Others smelled a rat.
While I think we can safely dismiss this last theory, there is one big question overhanging all this: Does the young women being nominated to be “the Eva Braun of the New Reich” actually have any interest in the position? We don’t actually know what exactly she thinks about the alt-right, or about much of anything.
Yes, she’s the younger sister of a racist killer who was clearly motivated in part by alt-right ideology. Yes, that thing she posted on Snapchat was arguably more than a little racist. But that doesn’t mean she’s a full-blown Nazi ready to be Andrew Anglin’s symbolic, much less literal, bride.
Not that this is likely to dissuade her new fans. Neo-Nazis went on celebrating Taylor Swift as their own personal Aryan Goddess long after she made it known that she’d really rather they didn’t. One thing, though, is abundantly clear:

Brace yourself. The memes are coming, and they will be ugly.
Given that he’s old enough to have kids of his own, I’m going to guess his mom is/was a nurse, assistant, or technician, rather than a doctor or specialist, given the timeframe when she would have begun her career.
I don’t think a schoolteacher and a nurse is a particularly well-off background, as US families go. Mid-middle-class at best, could easily be lower depending upon his mom’s specific job.

Another welcome for you! So, um, your nym: please tell me that you own a bookshop and have drinking sessions with a certain stylish demon?
If not, just pretend the above never happened (except the hello part) 😀
Much worse stuff here, but

RE: Racism and class
IMO, poor people can be just as racist as rich people, and rich people can be just as racist as poor people. I’ve come across staggeringly racist people from many wealth demographics.
However, rich people have considerably more power and have more capabilities to channel their racism to malicious effect. (And more ability to weasel out of the consequences of doing so.)
RE: gross nazis lusting after a teenager
This is a minor point in the grand scheme of things, but I think it really says something that that photoshop of the “happy family” contains 11 male children/Dylan Roof clones but not a single female child. You’d think there’d be a couple little Eva Brauns or something, statistically.
All of this was disgusting. I think I hit my limit for the week. To the brain bleach!
@Robert J Mathews from the previous page:
“Nazis are making the far right look bad!”
I would be very interested to hear exactly which far right ideas DON’T revolve around racial purity, misogyny, suppression, and hatred. Because they’re pretty much synonymous.
That rotting albatross is all yours, buddy. Wear it.
Re: Morgan Roof, the old saying “lie down with dogs, get up with fleas” comes to mind. Now that she’s attracted the attention of the Pepe crowd and been adopted as their mascot, it’s a no-win situation. Either she goes all in on an ideology under which she’ll never be considered anything more than race war breeding stock to be claimed by some perpetually angry and potentially violent loser….or (more likely), the moment she is perceived as rejecting/betraying them, they will rain wrath and death threats on her head. Neither outcome sounds very attractive.
…according to this totally real note signed by Donald Trump’s physician.
It’s time for the “far right” version of the name a moderate MRA game. Robert Matthews, can you name me one prominent far right figure who doesn’t say anything disgusting about women? I’ll be nice and not ask for three. Just one will do. I would hate to think you’re just engaging in the no true Scotsman fallacy.
@Robert Mathews
Yes please, play @weirwoodtreehugger’s game. It’s a good game! Lots of fun.
Oh, and your whole “Anglin is a paid collaborator of the left!” argument fails the Ockham’s Razor test. A far simpler explanation is just that he’s a shitty human being that happens to believe as you do.
What you are experiencing is called ingroup bias! Very common, don’t feel embarrassed about it. Just, you know. Do better.
You can do better! I believe in you!
Robert Mathews’ poetry is some of the worst poetry I’ve ever read.
No finger snaps for you.
Buttercup:
I have no sympathy for any of the alt-right. Do certain people make them look bad, yes. Question is there anyone who is a leader/prominent member of the alt-right who doesn’t make them look bad?
Okay that is sort of a varieant of the game weirwoodtreehugger wants the recent troll to play.
About Morgan Roof: Disagreement.
She has still the opinion to ignore them, it is unclear if she is even aware that they exist.
Oh, she knows they exist – now, anyway.
Even if she’s completely unique among 18 year olds and never googles herself – her friends and enemies will and they’ll tell her. Probably at great length.
Some better news

@Shadowplay
Maybe, but that doesn’t mean that he can’t be working class now. And even if we could guess at his family’s income, income is only one part in how well people can afford to meet their basic needs.
