Op-Ed: White supremacist publications took a hit after Charlottesville. Now stronger than ever.
After the 2017 “Unite the Right” gathering in Charlottesville, Va., during which counter-protester Heather Heyer was killed by a rally attendee, a lot of pundits predicted the demise of the alt-right movement. And for a while, it seemed as if they might be right.
At The Los Angeles Times [latimes.com], a well respected source of news, and I say that unironically.
After the 2017 “Unite the Right” gathering in Charlottesville, Va., during which counter-protester Heather Heyer was killed by a rally attendee, a lot of pundits predicted the demise of the alt-right movement. And for a while, it seemed as if they might be right.
But, then, go on, tell us more!
But the reversal didn’t last. In an era where the U.S. president has offered support for alt-right thinking and new communications technologies have expanded the reach of fringe ideas, the movement quickly sprang back. The alt-right’s web audience is now significantly larger than it was before its supposed Waterloo at Charlottesville, and the Daily Stormer and other publications have found new web platforms from which to broadcast their hate-filled messages.
Yeah, give me a beach in Thailand, or a facility in Argentina [wikipedia.org]. So more from the original Fine Article.
More alarming still is the penetration into mainstream discourse of alt-right ideology, including ideas of an immigrant “invasion” and the notion that white people are being “replaced” by nonwhite people. These themes are prominent not only in the El Paso shooter’s manifesto but also in the writings of Pat Buchanan, Ann Coulter and Michelle Malkin, all of whom appear regularly in the alt-right web magazine VDARE. Tucker Carlson of Fox News is viewed by Daily Stormer editor Anglin as “literally our greatest ally.” Anglin describes Carlson’s program as “basically ‘Daily Stormer: The Show.’” And then, of course, there is the nation’s most prominent mainstream proponent of alt-right themes: President Trump.
I lost faith with Tucker once he stopped wearing the bow-tie of racism. He is now a Fox News propagandizer, and I know for a jmorris fact that his great grandmother was not white. He is trying to replace pure white folks with his misegneated self. Born outside of the united states, you know. Confederate Georgia in 1862. So he is not eligible to be President, or to be on Fox News. Only natural born Australians can be on Faux Neues. Just Saying.
