Lately? You've been saying this for a decade. Maybe you missed the part of the last ten (or twenty, or fifty, or two hundred) years in which protesters of color - especially, but not only, blacks - are routinely shot and pummeled by TPTB in a way that is not-so-subtly-different from the establishment reaction to white protesters.

You're not caucasian, so let me do some white-mansplaining: Lord god, even within your protective California bubble you must understand that you can draw equivalents all you want between left and right, but at the end of the day only one end of that political spectrum considers people like yourself - 40 year old metrosexual asian club kids without money - as just another shade of nigger.

I won't get into the glaringly obvious lack of rights of marginalized people/minorities/religious minorities or women in the Islamic world, but I personally lately am finding it ironic to see
(just like in the early BLM protest era of 2014) , the privileged Whole Foods gentrified hipster yuppy(white) millennial crowd out there assuming yet again the mantle of social warrior and protector.

During the Bush regime, we saw this strange alliance, gross and uneasy as it was, between the granola hippies/anti war left/etc and the anti government patriot/alex jones/gun nut types.
But now it occurs to me, that as terrible and institutionally racist as the southern strategy GOP has been all these decades...so many people on the smug smarmy left are also contributing to the
divide of America socially and politically. I just find it weird seeing all these protests lately where privileged(to use an SJW term) white academics, liberals and yuppies take to the front of the crowd
and act as the de facto mouthpiece and assume this white knight role.


All the protests here put black lives matter and immigrant / refugee rights groups at the front of the protest line, that's been the defacto arrangement since before the election. For J20, airport protests, republican retreat protests, AND the recent and brutal black lives matter march at which pigs pepper-sprayed one another and blamed it on the crowd and starting clubbing protestors. Then, during jail solidarity, the pigs came out and targeted people of color just for standing in jail solidarity - this is something I had never seen before.


Thats pretty terrible. Which brings me to the point Ive been making for ages...a figure like Trump needed to happen to get the millennials out of being complacent latte sipping fugue states.
Again I wonder where the heck were the anti Bush youth taking to the streets when Obama was mass murdering people, locking up whistleblowers and deporting 2.5 million people.
I often quipped during Obama that the college youth were a pale comparison to youth during the late 1960s.

Why yes, in fact. Yes I do. And have encountered and known and even been friends with protestants, lutherans, baptists, evangelicals, and catholics that used that term to describe "New York intellectuals", i.e., persons of the Jew-suasion. I certainly have come to consider it a commonplace, but then I am twice your age, so maybe its a generational issue.

How the alt-right have reacted to Milo’s support of child abuse

Image

By Mack Lamoureux at Vice.com


Many alt-right figures are going to extraordinary lengths to explain away the former Breitbart editor’s “pro-pedophilia” comments.

It seems like Nero has finally been consumed by the fire he started.

Far-right provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos, who just stepped down from his position as Breitbart’s tech editor this afternoon, had a very bad couple of days, with his keynote speaker engagement at CPAC pulled and a book deal worth more than $250,000 canceled. Yiannopoulos, who went by @nero before being the rare media personality actually kicked off Twitter, saw his troll empire finally burn him after videos of him making what has been described as “pro-pedophilia” comments resurfaced.

“We get hung up on this child abuse stuff, to the point where we’re heavily policing even relationships between consenting adults,” he said on a podcast called The Drunken Peasants in January 2016. Later, in the same conversation, he said that relationships “between younger boys and older men… can be hugely positive experiences.”

On an episode of Joe Rogan’s podcast in July of the same year, Yiannopoulos made similar comments and also hinted that he has personally seen minors being sexually abused at a party and not reported it.

Yiannopoulos, for his part, has vehemently denied the allegations, saying that his comments were taken out of context and that he was being humorous. Yiannopoulos apologized during a press conference today saying that he regrets the comments, but that “as a victim of child abuse” the concept of him being a supporter of pedophilia is “absurd.” He went on to say that this was a conspiracy by the media to bring him down.

“Let’s be clear about what’s happening here,” said Yiannopoulos. “This is a cynical media witch hunt from people who do not care about children; they care about destroying me and my career and, by extension, my allies. They know that although I made some outrageous statements, I’ve never actually done anything wrong.”

“They held this story back. They held this footage back—footage that has been out there in the wild for over a year because they don’t care about victims. They don’t care about children; they only care about bringing me down. They will fail.”

As one would expect, the derpy superheroes of the alt-right, or new-right (whatever these neo-fascists are calling themselves these days,) have had his back… to a point. That said, it’s not exactly the work of geniuses.

Oddly enough, some of the more well-known players in the alt-right have come out against Yiannopoulos. Richard Spencer and Tim Treadstone (Baked Alaska), the latter of whom claims to be Yiannopoulos’s former manager, both shit on their former British king.

“The guy is totally done,” said Spencer on Twitter. “No sane person will defend him.”

However, it seems, even if Richard Spencer (a self-avowed white supremacist) won’t defend Yiannopoulos, the pizzagaters will.

Mike Cernovich, best known as that pizzagate guy, dedicated his online radio show to defending Yiannopoulos last night. His main argument is that Yiannopoulos was joking about the comments, but he also has some rather strong thoughts on how the video came to be. Toward the end of his show, Cernovich tail-spins into a theory that this is all a systematic takedown by the “deep state”—influential but unknown members of the military or government agencies (CIA, FBI)—because “citizen journalists” were onto their pedophilia rings. Look, it’s not that easy to summarize something that is crystallized stupidity brought to life so here it is in full:

One third of the deep state are pedophiles, to get at that high level that they get at they have all kind of initiation rituals that a lot of people that wouldn’t believe are possible but it’s how they control you,” Cernovich said.

“What they do, if you want to be at the highest level—the highest power level—they make the new members molest children and record it. That accomplishes two things, one it gives them blackmail material on everybody for the rest of their lives but, even bigger, they know that if you harm a child, then you will do anything for them.

“That’s why they became really nervous when citizen journalists began investigating pedophile rings in DC, they got shaken up. The fake news media freaked out and now they want to tar everybody that they possibly can to try and distract from their true crimes, that’s what’s really going on here, 100 percent what’s going on here.

The theory that this is a deep-state psy-op has taken hold in many of the circles of the alt-right. Jack Posobiec, another prominent alt-right social media figure, tweeted that a source told him $250,000 was spent on opposition research on Yiannopoulos, where “they” hired PIs and video editors—former independent presidential candidate Evan McMullin is somehow involved as well. Lauren Southern, a 21-year-old Canadian media personality for the northern equivalent of Breitbart, also tweeted out that it was a hit job but later deleted her tweets.

Many, many blog posts have been written supporting this idea that Yiannopoulos is the victim of a smear job conducted by the mainstream media. However, these videos were out publicly on YouTube for quite some time, which would mean that these “deep-state operatives” must have a hell of a budget to be able to go back in time and force Yiannopoulos to make those comments publicly on the podcasts.

That said, there is significant online chatter worrying about further takedowns of members of Yiannopoulos’s brethren. Cernovich later tweeted that “Deep State is going after everyone with a large social media following” to which Paul Joseph Watson, of conspiracy theory and Infowars fame, tweeted “can confirm.”


Image
Alex Jones ranting on camera. Photo via screenshot

Which brings us to Infowars founder (and apparently semi-regular Trump advisor), Alex Jones, who posted a doozy of a video entitled “Milo Is A Victim of Sexual Abuse, Does Not Promote Pedophilia” last night. The video is mostly him yelling in the dark about Yiannopoulos; yet it is still, somehow, the most sane defense of the bunch.

In the rambly clip, Jones calls Yiannopoulos a “beta gay guy” and seems to suggest that he’s gay because of abuse and has Stockholm syndrome. He calls the stories about Yiannopoulos a “witch hunt” and goes on a tirade against people who support trans rights. In the video, he suggests that journalists should be going after the big pedophile rings in Hollywood and DC instead of Yiannopoulos.

“On a scale of one to ten—zero being a really good person with your kids and a good life where you’re standing up for what’s right. On the compendium, on this whole spectrum, most of us are a one or something,” said Jones. “Then you got a Sandusky or these type of people that are nines or tens.

“This is like a three or four, so if we’re going to fry Milo, we better go ahead and fry everybody else who is involved in this.”

Jones concludes that this is “absolutely the Republican Party trying to roll up the grassroots support of the nationalist and populist movement that is taking place” and then compared Yiannopoulos to PewDiePie.

The whole situation seems to have taken place in the Upside Down. For several years now, the alt-righters have never seen a pedophile conspiracy they couldn’t sink their teeth into. At one point, Cernovich repeatedly targeted Vic Berger as a pedophile and sicced his merry band of trolls on him.

So it’s interesting to watch these people, who see pedophiles around every corner, and, like Yiannopoulos, have weaponized pedophilia accusations, scrambling to explain away Yiannopoulos’s own comments.

Sometimes it’s hard to tell when the call is coming from inside the house.

My main complaint with Milo is that his persona rehashes endlessly the same specific arguments instead of being more than a one trick pony. I've seen lesser known skype/google room chat interviews and
lesser known interviews where Milo sounds incredibly cogent and nuanced on all sorts of topics. I just don't happen to share this knee jerk hate toward him that the left(and far alt right) does toward him.
People somehow dont get that the mass megaphone spotlight and inflated outrage they give Milo is exactly the oxygen his trolling seeks. Regardless if it's trolling for the lulz or part of an Andy Kauffman like performance art with no real ideology. The riots and violence that plague his campus tours are curious, given there's actual white nationalists speaking on campuses...the focus on some flamboyant guy who mostly talks about salacious details of his gay sex life as the be all end all poster child for hate is very odd.

Actually, still in my 30's...but by a thread! Sadly its been some time since I was able to go to a club. And actually for a decade Ive been piling on against the right wing fuddy duddies...it's just in more recent
time a large part of "the left" have become joyless pills reminiscent of the very evangelical nitwits who whine about Christmas taken off Star Bucks cups.
That said, the mainstream and alternative/vlogger right-wing-o-sphere sound embarrassing with their obsession over "precious libtard snowflakes".

Semi off topic, anyone get a kick out of the right wing and alternative/online conservative brigade obsessing over "the deep state"? While Alex Jones on aisle 9 of the broken clock department
has been talking about the deep state and elite pedo rings, its surreal to see the mainstream conservative wind bags out there obsessing over "the deep state" this week, as well as elite pedo cabals(ala
"pizzagate" theories) This sort of odd jiu-jitsu with using the word "fake news" in every breath in response to being fake news is strangely adaptive, yet maddening.

Trump troll Milo Yiannopoulos resigns from Breitbart, announces plan to launch own media brand

Image

What will happen to Milo Yiannopoulos now that he has 'resigned' from Breitbart.com, after tape resurfaced of the alt-right Nazi-lovin' bottle blonde hater making pro-pedophilia comments? He's launching his own media empire, bla bla bla. As soon as the Milo-pedo news cycle ends, he'll be fine.

Are you not more concerned about the dozens of interns credited with his work at breitbart.com, the white supremacist shithole from whence Trump consigliere Steve Bannon emerged like Cthulhu from a sewer? Won't someone think of the 44 interns?

Here's his press conference, followed by live reporting from journalists covering this dumb goat rodeo.

Don't forget. The man Milo worked for is the second most powerful person in the White House today, after Donald Trump. President Milo? Don't laugh too hard.

And this, too: Milo resigned from Breitbart, according to Milo.

He was not fired. Even pedophilia wasn't too low for Breitbart.com.

Sorry but this confuses me because of the part where the public face of the right (e.g. Yiannopoulos) is so overwhelmingly Jewish?

Lol, your confusion is charming, but hardly unexpected.

Milo wrote:the Jews run everything. The Jews run all the banks.The Jews run the media. Jews completely dominate the media.


Sounds perfectly reasonable. I suppose it was meant to be endearing.

8bit, great heebe jeebies! For being Mr. Sensitive, you really blew it; you didn't even get your hero's name right. Shame on you! Bradley Manning no longer exists. He was replaced by Chelsea, whom you and others worship as your hero.

Yes, we can be sympathetic towards Milo for having been a victim of sexual abuse as a young teen. But that sympathy ends when he propagates the same abuse upon other child victims, assuring the abuse will continue on for another generation, as victims.

Just like we can sympathize about murderers who were neglected and physically but not sexually abused as children during their early development years, who chose to inflict the pain they still ache from as violence upon others, even those previously unknown to them.

Hoping this was paid provocateur, as scenes like this remind of violent fascism. Sadly the overwhelming response on social media was
support of these wackjobs at the Milo Berkeley event
