A couple days back, Newsweek reports:
Feminist activists on Sunday are planning to commemorate last year's Women's March, the response to the election of President Donald Trump that was widely regarded as the biggest demonstration in U.S. history.
As they do so, the so-called alt-right—an anti-immigrant, anti-Semitic movement that has struggled to recruit women—is aiming to co-opt this political moment with a series of stunts, including spreading propaganda and a counterdemonstration in Knoxville, Tennessee. This targeting of a feminist event is part of an ongoing pattern of misogynistic behavior in the movement, according to activists and a rights group that spoke to Newsweek.
[...] Trolls from 4chan, an imageboard website that is popular with the alt-right, are planning to post signs at women's studies departments on college campuses Sunday with the hashtag #mybordermychoice, a deliberate perversion of the abortion-rights slogan "my body my choice," according to a series of posts on the site and research conducted by antifascist activists.
[...] Lecia Brooks of the Southern Poverty Law Center, a rights group, told Newsweek that Heimbach [Leader of the Traditionalist Workers' Party] is "no defender of women," referring to altercations involving the opposite sex he has had at demonstrations.
Heimbach replied to that notion by saying legal abortion and illegal immigration were victimizing the unborn and women, and that "women have had their femininity put under attack by a culture that treats them as either sex objects or as mere economic cogs in the capitalist system." Heimbach is a critic of the capitalist system while also being a critic of socialism, and views a "national socialism" system that includes only white non-Jews as an alternative to both. He said the policies of his group were structured to "empower women to their God given honorable place as true equals to men in society through their unique role as mothers and wives." To be clear, he is an ardent critic of contemporary feminism.
Message received, very clear.

You missed that black unemployment is the lowest it's been since they first started measuring it.

Jealousy. I see only jealousy in their eyes. Such an ugly emotion. Such ugly creatures. I found this. It's mine. Get away. I found this hunk of feces. More people continue to surround me as I rape the hunk of feces I found on the sidewalk. They wish they had found this exquisite specimen themselves, but it's mine now. I'm going to impregnate it. Some of them are calling others using their cellphones. They must be conspiring to take this fecal sow away from me. To take my prized possession. Evil! Unforgivable! I won't allow it! Motion shall become silence. Motion shall become silence. Motion shall become silence!

:) You're f***ing going there... Unemployment is never a problem when you lock up the unemployed people and make them work for free. In other countries we call that slavery.

We call it a valuable lesson that not having what you want is no excuse for being a criminal.

Perhaps Trumps wall will be to lock people in. Who cares so long as you can get your weed, cigarettes, and demonise the next rung down in prison society right?

Just so long as that little bitch three cells down has my laundry done on time.
