“We’re just in a transitionary stage.” - transitioning from common or garden variety thug slug to full-blown Nazi moth.

This is how these white supremacist douchebags should be written about. Straightforward reporting with all the relevant info provided in text & links. No two-sides b.s. just description of facts. As usual great work, Kirkland.

These hate-junkies thought they could mainstream themselves by hiding in plain sight. They can dress like a dandy but the white hoods still show.

Why is it that the people who most fervently believe in white supremacy are often the biggest losers of all?

I mean…if Richard Spencer is the face of white supremacy, ipso facto…it’s a ridiculous argument.

“Spencer is credited with coining the term “alt-right” to describe the loosely affiliated mass of mostly young white men with white nationalist, racist and anti-Semitic views”

Aren’t you forgetting “misogynist” Allegra?

The people most vulnerable to coddling messages about their innate cultural superiority are the ones who have never produced or achieved anything for themselves, the ones who have always felt second-class in their own skins.

You’ll find a few first-born PhD millionaires in their ranks, but not many.

What I get out of this is that a lot of the money for being a violence-inciting asswipe is drying up. And that’s good. (But also, nutbar lawyer taking over cases and saying he’s just doing it for the fee? There’s definitely a story buried there, as there is with the sudden departure of the previous legal sugar daddy. I don’t know if it’s a story anyone really wants to know, of course.)

So can they now return to slinking about the back woods, wearing confederate or Nazi garb, playing pretend soldier, and sucking down light beer all day?

Old Pisswaukee Light–it’s what all true Racist Ideologues Drink!

You’re in the tertiary stage of this particular syphillitic disease you call the alt-rt and I call Nazism.
And you better hope I never run into you in person, Richard.

I didn’t mean to delete that…Jason Kessler attempted to comment during the “Community Matters” part of the Charlottesville City Council meeting last night, however, he was shouted down by members of the community in attendance for the entire 3 minutes he was allotted.

What really shut these assholes down was putting their faces on national TV and all over the internet. A number of those who marched in Virginia lost their jobs when their co-workers and bosses recognized them. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

Bristow, who did not respond to TPM’s requests for comment, was very active in the seeds of what became the alt-right movement. As president of Michigan State’s chapter of Young Americans for Freedom back in 2006, he tried to organize a “Catch an Illegal Immigrant Day” and invited white nationalist Jared Taylor to give a talk on campus.

Same organization that gave us Dana Rohrabacher, the Dylanesque Troubador of Free Enterprise.

Of course Spencer’s racism 2018 tour™️ is failing. Since the election of Trump, Spencer is no longer a draw to bigots. All the bigots have their ideal leader as president.

Looks like all the pillars of the Trump/Republican party are starting to fall. They are seeing the end game of their so-called power. Does the heart good to watch them scatter like the cockroaches they are.

“… about the need to create a white ethno-state and repatriate immigrants back to their native countries.”

You make it sound so matter-of-fact.

It’s so hard being a NAZI. You just can’t get no respect. Except from other NAZIs.

Gee, I wonder why? How did NAZIs get such a bad reputation? It’s just such a mystery.
