To give India the benefit of the doubt, I assume that's probably a smaller news channel. Though in India that converts to 6.9 million followers.

I just utterly fucking loathe that these people have any conceptualization of "nazi" as a set of beliefs seriously held by a significant enough portion of society that they can be easily defined and taken seriously

if you mean he's a Trump supporter, or a Republican sympathizer, fucking say that

That's too normalized, you have to escalate everything to the worst possible thing for maximum emotional blackmail: Nazi, genocide, warcrimes, the planet literally burning, etc.

This actually doesn't look like clear cut defamation in the US. Evan should have fought and fundraised off of it.

It's a jew approved war alright

Speaking of defamation

DOOOOOOO IT

Subhuman turk ain't gonna do shit. He's posturing for the retarded fanbase who don't actually understand the world around them and need a cunt like this to make it simple for them.

I kind of wonder what would happen if you posted this article on Resetera. Would they be outraged?

[Uncle]

that would be amazing, if anyone would try to go into how shameful it is and advocating for the serial woman abuser to be moved to a place full of women

but it would probably get a few token "the system is aligned against trans people" without anything specific and die off after a page

"Go back to your own country"

It's interesting seeing the whole racial dynamic break down when the Diaspora don't share their opinion

The best jokes are all based in truth, and there's a reason jokes about Irish intelligence are pretty funny.

It’s actually shocking that that’s a real person. I’ve been under the impression it’s a bot with the directive to make any left leaning frame as lame and retarded as possible.

“We’re throwing our hands up in a way,” Cash told Interview magazine of Forever, the self-proclaimed “offensive” magazine she co-edits with Anika Jade Levy whose contributor list seems allergic to melanin. “Forever can be whatever we need. If we need to turn into a band or an arms manufacturer or a streaming service, fine.”

Band, arms manufacturer, streaming service — it’s a list of nouns strung together like a plastic beaded bracelet, a choppy and vaguely associative cadence characteristic of the Dimes Square novels themselves. It strikes me as the literary equivalent of shitposting, a notorious alt-right internet tactic that The Guardian’s Robert Topinka defines as “a genre of low-effort social media content designed to amuse insiders and annoy outsiders.”

 No, it's a joke about the flexibility of the project.

Here's some more WELL KNOWN science:

If anything, given that algorithms like YouTube are well known to funnel toward the alt-right, Louise’s KKK arc would have been an edgier, funnier choice, if Cash had the stomach for racial self-reflection

The link goes to an article about a study that definitely does not say this at all. The study found that 26% of people who commented on "alt-lite" classified videos also commented on "alt-right" classified videos. For some reason the authors are perplexed by this.

It’s fairly easy to get to alt-lite and intellectual dark web content with a simple search, but alt-right videos tend to be harder to find for first-time users. Yet the researchers found that YouTube’s algorithm often directed users who searched for specific keywords toward increasingly violent, extreme content.
...
The authors estimate that about 60,000 people who commented on alt-lite or intellectual dark web content got exposed to alt-right videos over a period of about 18 months.

edit: Even this reporting is wrong, they deliberately searched for borderline Nazi keywords:

You search for "the jewish question" and you're going to get Nazi (or Marx) results. 

Later on the authors admit that 90-99% of commenters aren't "pipelined" at all:

Was it a Rowling tweet?

[Uncle]

I do think right-aligned people are less likely to take things seriously and are more inclined to fuck around and be edgy

and left-aligned people are more likely to care very much with righteous anger and get mad at you for not caring as much as them, "how can you shitpost at a time when fascism is on the rise"
 

destiny is one of the few left people I've seen who shitposts

but maybe this is me falling for the same trap that leftists do, where they will kick you out of the group at a moment's notice for feeing insufficiently [.......] about a given cause, but really that person is still on the left and a fun-loving shitposter regardless of whether some contingent claims to have kicked them out

Not sure in which thread this fascinating individual belongs, but since it involves people of gender, tankies and cultural appropriation, it's probably the best spot.

For whatever reason, this sub 200 views video was recommended to me on YouTube:



White american trans woman now calling herself "Yong Ja Hong" travels around Asia to cover and cheer on North Korea's sports teams.

Used to be Zebulon Benbrook, author of a popular Oklahoma Thunder blog.

Becomes Marina Mangiaricana and intended to run for office in Oklahoma

https://www.okgazette.com/arts-culture/marina-mangiaracina-sets-sights-on-public-service-2981495/

Then moved to Seoul, changed her name to "Youg Ja Hong" (isn't that a big no-no?) and became a big North Koreaboo.

That's quite the story, Mark! Not gonna lie, I'd read her biography.

But then:
