The past is prologue! What has been, will be again. Amor Fati!
Once again, aristarchus submissions are being suppressed! By this I mean, not rejected, but hidden, concealed, obscurated. These three submissions are listed as "accepted", but do not appear in the queue, or anywhere else.
US Army veteran among group of suspected neo-Nazis arrested by FBI on gun charges
White nationalist who spoke at Charlottesville arrested on fugitive warrant charges
3 Alleged Members Of Hate Group 'The Base' Arrested In Georgia
Yes, typical aristarchus submissions. Fake accepted just to mess with me? Or deep-sixed to keep coverage of alt-right terrorism off of SoylentNews? Possibly related to the recent threading bug TMB has discovered? Or another "Athanasius" scenario? QAnon, or Lizard People?

Update: more rejected submissions, as the Hate goes down in Virginia.
Proud Boy "Tiny" Toese Pleads Guilty to 2018 Assault
And,
What is The Base? FBI arrest of alleged white supremacists puts focus on extremist group
And,
‘Emasculated’ Virginia gun nuts mocked for ‘purchasing toys, dressing up in costumes, and fantasizin (one of my personal favorites!)
And,

New excuse for censorship on SoylentNews! Makes me feel so much better. Here it is:
Thank you for your submission. Unfortunately it does not meet the criteria spelled out in the submission guidelines, which can be found at https://soylentnews.org/faq.pl?op=editorial and has therefore been removed from the submissions queue. Please consider revising it based on the submission guidelines and resubmitting. Alternately you could consider posting it as a journal entry.
Yup, gonna revise this an resubmit! That'll work! Nothing like getting around censorship by doing exactly what the censors want! Hooboy! I feel a spate of submissions about alt-right Neo-nazi really stupid racists and Trump supporters coming on! Pray that the fetuses of Evangelical miscarry! Turn about is fair play. Oh, and TMB is behind on his payments.

janrinok, oh my dear janrinok! Must you so consistently miss the point? What I was suggesting that your assertion is just part of the entire Brexit alt-right, Prince Hairy thing. The "pointy bits" submission, which c0lo has correctly called from some thousands of miles away, is a case in point, pardon the pun from a rapier sharp wit.
British xenophobia. That is what we are on about! White supremacy, if the mongrel races of the British Isles could be considered "white" by Aryan and Teutonic standards. So you see, my dear and wayward editor emeritus, janrinok, racism and zenophobia, and islamophopia, all these are the result of British imperialism. Much as many Americans claim that they, or their families, never owned slaves, and so they are not responsible for the racial inequalities in the United States, so Brits try to claim that the "invasion" of their country is not due to their having taken over the countries of the people they now see claiming commonwealth status. That, and Polacks. So they figure they can stop the one, by Brexiting, but it is still a racist and isolationist policy. And Harry and Megan are moving to Canada, and bringing all their STEM with them. Booyahha!

Firstly, Brexit is not an alt-right issue. The majority of those who voted in the referendum voted to leave the EU. They are not an example of rampant alt-rightism, but simply a nation fed up that a trading organisation that was joined as equal trading partners has now become an all consuming federation that wants to interfere with the laws and traditions of each of its member states. A federation where the UK is asked to help fund governments who cannot or will not look after their own finances. A federation that believes it has the right to dictate how many refugees nations must accept at their own financial costs.
Very few alive today in the UK were even part of the period of imperialism that you talk about. They are not responsible for the actions of their forefathers. The same in true in the USA. People are responsible for their own actions, not for the actions of those that preceded them. If you look back in your own family tree I'm sure that you will discover people who did not have the same morals and beliefs that you yourself hold. Do you really want to answer for their actions and accept whatever punishment someone else who was not involved either decides is appropriate?
I am not missing the point - I AM COMPLETELY DISAGREEING WITH IT! And none of this is connected with your submissions being rejected. Bring something new to discuss and we might consider it. Repeating the same drivel over and over again is simply your attempt at spreading your own propaganda. At that means that you are on the wrong site.

Oh, dear. I had no idea you were this ignorant, janrinok! Are you not retired intelligence? Of course Brexit is alt-right. Do you not know that Steve Bannon was in cahoots (American expression, collusion) with Nigel Farage? Do you not realize the entire purpose of resistance to the EU is opposition to "globalism" in favor of ethnic nationalism? Otherwise known as "racism"? Oh, dear, again.
Nice to know my submissions are not being rejected because of their quality, but because of the political naivete of the editors of SoylentNews. This is something I would expect if the editorial staff was all alt-right teenagers on Reddit. Wait, . . . OMG!!!

Yet you still refuse to acknowledge the racism behind the nationalist brexit movement. Fascism always starts with the more reasonable sounding things like economic opportunities. Soon you find yourself invading other countries with racism used as the emotional spurs to motivate the jar heads.
You're probably too old to catch on to reality. Y'know what they say about history and those who refuse to learn it...

There is racism in each and every community to some degree or other.
Any racism that exists in the UK would not disappear if we had agreed to stay in the EU. In the USA, the racism has been visible for many decades either against black people, native Americans, or currently also the alt-right and anti-fa. If France, there is still racism against Algerians, Muslims and other group who have settled here from outside France. There are examples also for Russia, the Middle East, and elsewhere.
Brexit hasn't been hijacked by the racist element in the UK, it has simply been publicised more because it sells newspapers, it is thought to be more 'newsworthy' than looking at the majority of people who live together without any friction whatsoever.
You are probably too young to know enough to make an intelligent assessment. There, now has my ad hom attack been any more useful to this discussion than your ad hom attack? No. Learn how to counter racism rather than simply blaming the world around you. You are part of that world - that is your responsibility. Now you can either face that challenge or cower in fear because of all the nasty racists that surround you. Don't fear different religions or beliefs. Don't worry about the colour of someone's skin which is dictated by their genes depending on where their ancestors originated on the globe. Don't separate different cultures simply because you do not understand them. And don't come on this site stirring up racism by trying to blame it for all the world's ills.

This is why you are a NaZi sympathizer, as were a good many of your countrymen back in the day. You have read "Remains of the Day"? Anti-fa is anti-fascist. They are not anti-white, irregardless of the fact that "white" is not a real race, any more than "English" is a real people. Mongrel Anglo-saxon Celtic Norse Spanish Moors and motherfuckers! Do not get me started, janrinok, or I will come down on your British ass with the crimes of centuries. Rhodes? Cecil Fucking Rhodes? Do you know?
You pathetic Brit! How can you be so stupid? I am millennia older than you, I have seen it all, from the Roman Conquest of Greece and Africa, to the fall of Rome, the Rise of idiocy in the Roman Catholic church, the insanity of the Thirty Years War, and yes, your current concerns about "STEM", are pathetic and short sighted. You have no idea who you are dealing with, and it would be best for you to listen to those with more knowledge, experience, and education. If you EVER talk down to me like this again, I will burn SoylentNews to the ground!
Now, go back and hide in France, you goddamed Brexiteer. May god have mercy on your soul.

It is you that is misunderstanding Brexit with regards to myself. You accuse me of being a Brexiteer yet I live in France - where I will be remaining. Perhaps the EU will be better off without the UK as a member just as much as the UK hopes to be better off without the burden of federalism being pushed upon it. I'm not saying that I believe either of those to be necessarily true, but you certainly don't know my views on Brexit.
I will suggest that I do understand how the British population is thinking right now more than you do. I am in daily contact with many people in the UK who have expressed the reason why they voted as they did - both for and against - and many of those reasons have not been as well publicised as those that the mainstream media seem to concentrate on.
