The "deplorables" also call themselves Deplorables, a term invented and executed by the Left wing but adopted by the Right. The "Alt-Right" label is also a product of the Left wing. The conventional "Right" or Conservative story would not work, because you would alienate and mechanize more people against your message by branding half the country the "bad guys" - as we saw with the "basket of deplorables" turning a huge number of people away, the now infamous "Silent Majority". Calling them the "alternative right" was something they then embraced because they wanted to distance themselves from those they saw as failing, even now you can see people sling the "RINO" or "Republican in Name Only" acronym. You can further witness this with groups such as the Alt-Knights who are not only a parody of the phrase, given they were born form the internet, but an actual Right faction.

The real Alt-Right are not right wing at all; Nazism certainly is not a politically right ideology given its deeply socialist roots and fascism as a concept is on the authoritarian side of the Authoritarianism vs Liberty axis, having nothing to do with Conservatism. The same can be said for the Ku Klux Klan which had David Duke and Robert Byrd to name a few, both of whom are notable Democrats and have a strong Left wing history.

Also, throwing the term of "crypto-fasc" around is not going to get you far. Can you define this word or its use?


Why is it whenever we have a debate, I have to explain things to you?

Crypto-fascism is a pejorative term for the secret support for, or admiration of, fascism. The common usage is "crypto-fascist" or "crypto-fasc", one who practices this support. The term is used to imply that an individual or group keeps this support or admiration hidden to avoid political persecution or political suicide.

Also I think you need to learn more about the Nationalist-Socialists party history with socialism.
He had to unplug his keyboard because I sauter all the sun ports closed infosec 101 :p

OOH UNRELATED NOTES FROM WORK! I wanna play.

So I started at my job about a year ago. My boss, at the time of my hiring, was fired roughly a week after I showed up for defrauding the government. Today I learned that over this last weekend he got scooped up by the cops for.... well think Pizzagate, it was kinda like pizzagate I guess. The moral is if you get super-weird vibes from someone, maybe trust your gut. Also watch out for your kids. Also kids, watch out for yourselves. Evil is real.


Lmao. I'm still formatting computers this guy unplugged his keyboard to run this file, if it wasn't the boss's sun he'd be fired so fast.
On an unrelated note, please if you find a jump drive with your bosses name on it, Don't open it on your work computer and run "September Layoffs.pdf.exe"

Please? I'm going to be putting in a 14 hour day today.

E: I must be getting tired, this isn't the right place for this message, but I'm going to leave it.
They literally called themselves Alt-Right, it's a Crypto-fasc term they came up with themselves.

Like if we can't even agree the Alt-right called themselves the alt-right you guys are so separated from reality to the point where it's kind of baffling.

Literally Newspeak.

You said the BBC isn't a reputable source (after I loosely compared it to MSNBC), then you went on to source 538, so..... I mean, at this point I don't feel like I could bury you any deeper even if I started arguing.


No I said you didn't have a leg to stand on which was a bit of a non sequitur to the statement as a whole. My point is your not looking at American news for American politics.
Cracker ain't a cuss? Pretty sure that's a slur based on race. So, by extension, that's some textbook racism.


So you just ignored the middle part of that post, huh.
@Smash idk how that infers im an enemy of the lgbt community though lol. did you actually talk to the people there?

That's incredibly sad, if you don't see it than I think this whole conversation is moot!

This is getting less political and more personal, I'd rather not have discord screenshots and drama in the thread, thanks.

Yeah no problem.
@Smash it was before, but thanks for proving my point that you're pot kettle black etc.




<Snipped quote by Smash>

aren't you the guy that didn't know what the QSA was, then went 'what's the qsa' and when I informed you of what it was you said 'i should've known you're an enemy of the lgbt community'

thought so too

pot kettle black etc etc


Shortly after you stated they wanted to gas you, yeah.

I'd have to see specific surveys to be able to gauge how bullshit they are, but I can tell you that 538 and Nate Silver have had a track record of their predictions being wrong. I'm fairly certain at this point that his prediction model is just flawed. Like it's not even partisan at this point, it's just not good at predicting things.


Luckily we're using their poll aggregates, not anything else!

Also, because it is topical and spicy, let us defer back to actual racism in the face of tragedy for a moment because we were all so worked up over "racist statues" just a few weeks ago which started this very recent expedition with our newer company. Will the Alt-Left disavow all of these people, or do they just not represent everyone involved in the Left?


A) the alt left isn't a thing so no, your imaginary group isn't going to disavow anything.

B) What racism? In order for something to be racist it has to be backed by systemic oppression that's why fag is a cuss and cracker isnt.
Also: since it seems we're about to get on about "approval ratings" and the like about Trump, I'm gonna take this opportunity to PSA about how shitty most of these surveys used to get these numbers are. Most the time when you see these numbers they come from a survey done by a polling company and you can actually dig up the survey itself. Do that. Because most of these surveys I have seen over the past few years, especially regarding Trump or Clinton, have flawed methodologies that I would wager were intentional so as to get a desired result. Commonly they like to weight the different responses, usually against Trump, meaning that often the final numbers would look especially bad for him. This was especially rampant in the months leading up to election, where looking at these surveys would often show that Trump had comparable or superior favorability to Clinton but weighing the results would change the numbers. The abstracts of surveys, as well as all the sites that report on them, do not go into the methodology or look at the actual numbers. They report the final percentages. If you want to cite one of these surveys, make sure to check the survey itself first. You might be surprised what the data actually shows.


538 is my source.
