The “Alternative Right"

[kool maudit]

Note: our run-in, as I saw it, was on the globalism thread. AD saw the term and the common critique as reactionary, I see it as a useful shorthand for what I see as an emerging control-system. His first question seemed to be "is this more right-wing stuff meant to free up racists?" and mine was "is this a description of a living and distinct power bloc?".

The praxis differential gave rise to a degree of suspicion and distaste. But again: so what?

Considering the kind of board this was initially created to be (as is often pointed out), and considering the direction a great many of the involved participant's posts were quite obviously pointing towards, I'd say a month off to consider things is warranted, and might actually have a salutary effect on said participant's increasingly troubling ideological predispositions.

Just my 0.02

There definitely once seemed to be a broad consensus about the targeting of the this board by Stxrmfrxnt.

I don't think that I would universally trust in such a consensus now, most especially regarding the full spectrum of far right ideas.

Aye, a bunch of conspiracy theorists feeling targeted - odd, innit? Jokes aside, though: yeah. Everyone who's been here since BushAdmin knows that RI has been targeted by coordinated campaigns before. I don't recall any Aryan Youth incidents -- before my time, probably? -- but I certainly recall CoS fucking with us. Easily, too. #NeverForget

And all kinds of greasy operator types have been in and out (mostly out, Inshallah) due to the small community of survivors here. Who are, let's remember, mostly inactive in recent years, precisely because this is not a fortified, secure location. Edited to add: also thanks to some very dickish denialism by RI members. That, too.

Perhaps Matthew Heimbach has dispatched some infiltrators -- cerebral trolls who seek to disrupt AD's threads via the relentless application of circular reasoning and quibbling over definitions. Seems like a rather dry approach for that crowd, but we live in strange times. Strategically, though, there's not a lot of original research going on here anymore, aside from that imposingly awesome Boston Marathon thread. Surely a better target for their exertions would be the organizations you're posting original material from, no?

More overt tactics probably wouldn't fly here more than other places since that field makes up a good portion of what we have discussed in the past. It is exactly that kind of disruption that would make us second guess motives.

I've noticed that too about the original research, but we're probably just in a lull. Quite a lot of fast-moving events and an insane election year.

I almost started a data dump on environmental racism in the lead up to a project but went with an evernote file instead…something way too disorganized to post now unfortunately.

Rigorous Intuition is not the center of the Universe. Really, it is a small backwater.

This has not stopped people from the Far Right from trying to organize here.

We are- or should be- agreed that this is wrong and that we will work to stop them.

You've been here as long as I, AD. They get weeded out quick. I don't believe this of you at all. But perhaps RI is an identified "testing ground"? How is one to know? I can't remember all the characters who have crawled through here. San Diego Buff Guy comes to mind. Like, seriously? Who was the cat that drew all those lines on the surface of Mars? Can't remember. Anyway, this ghost ship is in good hands and as someone who values my time spent here for almost ten years I will do what I can to keep it alive and afloat.

[American Dream]

If you think they all get weeded out quick, then you have a somewhat different view of things than me.

I would agree that the most outrageous ones have a limited shelf life, but beyond that the picture gets more complicated.

I'm seeing the (((X))) increasingly on sites. I don't understand.

[American Dream]

Is it marking jews for targeting and harassment? Or something different?

Would you think it's far right people doing it?

[Wombaticus Rex]

I'm seeing the (((X))) increasingly on sites. I don't understand.

You're seeing it because there's a lot of Jewish folks in US media and they're using it "ironically" to call attention to their targeting.

A bit like everyone wearing white sheets to protest at Stone Mountain, but ending the phenomenon isn't really the issue, so much as drawing attention to their own victimization by the AltRight frog hordes. They want us to think it's serious.

or at the very least give me a good reason why you need to be so hyper about this...do you think Womby is so incompetent that he can't do his job without you?
