Re: Alt-right neo-nazis to speak at Texas A&M University
Again we are comparing Richard Spencer to actually murderers (Dylan Roof and Frenchie boy). I mean unless Richard Spencer said kill the undesirables what really is the point? So far I've only heard of him calling for a Pan Nationalist movement to create separate ethno-states. Sure a retarded idea but not that harmful.

Re: Alt-right neo-nazis to speak at Texas A&M University
Fair enough.
But so long as no one else is being harmed then he can preach for all I care. It's not like there is anything we can actually do to him to make him stop, legally or morally I mean.

The point is to show that the university and its community do not endorse or support these guys in any way, especially since they're speaking in Rudder Tower, named after a guy who fought actual Nazis. Aggies are kinda weird like that. And if our mascot barks in a classroom while class is in session, the students are dismissed. There are a lot of quirks to being an Aggie.
Spencer describes the Alt Right as a big-tent ideology that blends the ideas of neo-reactionaries (NRx-ers), who advocate a return to an antiquated, pseudo-libertarian government that supports “traditional western civilization”; “archeofuturists,” those who advocate for a return to “traditional values” without jettisoning the advances of society and technology; human biodiversity adherents (HBDers) and “race realists,” people who generally adhere to “scientific racism”; and other extreme-right ideologies. Alt-Right adherents stridently reject egalitarianism and universalism.
Okay, the barefoot and pregnant woman must have been a sight. We also have this one "the end is nigh" preacher who comes around campus once in a while.
Excuse me, but since when is a link from a "fake news" site such as splcenter proof of anything? The same site was discussed in the "Liberal Tactics" thread, as a prime example of said tactics.

Absolutely pants. Spencer's old website was actually called alternativeright.com. How could the link's description be fake/inaccurate, ffs?

Yeah, from what I've seen about the alt-right they seem (generally) fairly OK with homosexuality - I think liberals overstate the homophobic aspect of the movement. The more hardline "anti-degenerates" and the traditionalists/reactionaries that have been pulled along in the alt-right's wake are less accepting however.
Transgenderism is a different story, they seem to get flak from all the alt-right. But apparently deriding them is fine because it's a mental illness.

Spencer wants impressionable kids. Here's an article about his efforts to recruit college students. "I think you do need to get them while they are young." Or listen to the journalists who have gone to alt-right conferences and found a lot of young, angry white kids. White kids who are worried because they can't find a job that pays okay, who are lonely because they're no good with women. Here's a former white supremacist talking about how he was angry all the time when he was a kid -- at his family, at school, at life. These are not happy people.
Btw, the SPLC is a civil rights and labor rights group that works closely with the FBI. It has its controversies like every other organization but you would be hard-pressed to find a similar group that is more respected in the US and beyond.

Of course there is. Both legally and especially morally. At the very least, he could be choked out of his speaking platforms at public institutions and to blacklist him for other credible private institutions as a voluntary list for those who do not want to aid in spreading his vile and demented ideas.

They do a good job protecting us from hateful extremists like Maajid Nawaz, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, and Ben Carson.

Like I said, it has its controversies. And it removed Carson from the list a while ago. Having fourth-grade notions of US history and plain crazy ideas doesn't mean one is an extremist.

Their problem, which is related to this thread, is the demand for egregious bigotry is really outpacing the supply. Which I think is part of the reason the media has made this Spencer jackass seem relevant. If he is, it's only because they made him so, because it was nice to hit Trump with and you know, moral outrage sells. As for SPLC, nothing brings in the donations they need to maintain themselves more than promoting the belief that there are racists and homophobes and Islamophobes in every closest. Of course some are in the closest, for the same reason gays don't have to be anymore.

*Activist* wants impressionable kids. Here's an article about her efforts to recruit college students. "I think you do need to get them while they are young."

The Alt Right are just obnoxious social activists. Just like social justice people. They have offensive radical views. They are a mirror of each other. One side says black lives matter more. One side says white lives matter more. One side wants women to rule. The other side wants men to rule. Everyone in the middle is like race and gender aren't really important compared to character and morality. They're the people who don't fall within the two standard deviations.
I mean presumably most people are moderates in the first standard deviation, then some people are partisans in the second deviation, then activists are in the third deviation, then dangerous radicals are in the fourth deviation, then probably terrorists after that. Or some variation thereof.

I'm curious, are left wing activists happy people?
The average white supremacist or socialist, or whatever, you won't know of because they won't say or do anything. By definition practically someone willing to act against what they perceive as a status quo is going to be angry.

Re: Alt-right neo-nazis to speak at Texas A&M University
I think the more politically involved you are the angrier you are, because things aren't the way you know they should be. The Trump crowd were the hysterical Facebook grandmas forwarding you proof of Obama's impending enactment of socialism for the past eight years, now that mantle is to be taken up by liberals.
The far-left and far-right are always unhappy because things are never going their way.

Nah. Free speech, but there is a reason why journalism exists. It's supposed to smear people like him.

Sure, there is an agenda. How does that make them fake news?

They have some credibility issues in their presentation, but I think that's another thread.

from reddit (i cant link, because under my IP i get a 18+ warning, not sure how the US law goes about this, so nah):
“My view is that White Nationalism should be ‘straight but not narrow,’ meaning that we should uphold and defend heterosexuality as the norm but also recognize that not everyone fits that norm.
“As long as homosexuals uphold healthy norms and have something positive to contribute, they can and do make our movement stronger.”
bottom line:
he loves em conditionally, or he would have said: “ homosexuals can and do make our movement stronger.”
so, screw his bigotry. everything you say before the "but" means nothing.
he cant throw it overboard, or he wouldnt be part of his little club any longer, and hanging with the boys is clearly more important to him.
let me demonstrate:
now compare to the official music video
so, must needs richard come out of the closet? i hope he doesnt, that would almost make me feel bad for his situation.
why? just read some of the answering tweets above.
