A man set himself on fire outside Trump's NYC courthouse. He was badly burned and taken away from the scene on a stretcher. It's not known if this was related to the trial.

      No. The manifesto accuses the elites of being secret fascist kleptocrats and claims that crypto currency was made to crash the economy, that media is purposely devisive and pessimistic because the secret fascist kleptocrats want people to feel defeated, and there’s some accusations that the republicans and democrats are preforming a sort of kayfabe with each other and that biden and trump are in fact working together, which is a bit too far fetched for me. I’m going to need to see some evidence that they both met in a dark room and planned it out. But this actual schizophrenic man may have uncovered a genuine conspiracy theory involving Epstein, Clinton, or Peter Thiel.

      The man might be crazy, he might be saying stuff that is old news to people, his politics might be in the radlib/socdem category, but I wouldn’t say I disagree with him, okay maybe I wouldn’t catch myself on fire over this, but I’m willing to look into what he had to say because he doesn’t seem like a chud. He said nothing of Palestine though so who knows, I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

      alt-righters

      The right has been all the same for years now. I haven’t used alt-right in 7 years - since about a week after Charlottesville. I call everything on the right - right-wingers or right-wing.

        I think alt-right is a pretty useless and outdated term, and I whenever I hear it I usually assume the person using it must’ve not paid attention to politics after the last election cycle. But there is a small sliver of truth that the American right has a militant wing and a political wing, with the militant wing having merged existing elements of white supremacist gangs and police (but I repeat myself) with newly radicalized boogaloo boys, proud boys, groypers, atomwaffen, etc. The political wing maintains loose coupling with the militant wing (and of course, the FBI manipulates individual groups to hit targets they desire) to keep plausible deniability.

        Yeah the whole western internet-right defending the nazis at that event really showed me how little distinction there is between all of them. They’re all evil, self-righteous fascists when it comes down to it. And libs will make excuses for the fascists as usual.

          And libs will make excuses for the fascists as usual.

          When Charlottesville I was a new leftist. I wondered if Trump’s election warped my thinking so that my interest in leftism was temporary and would wither away. But Charlottesville made me be 100% certain I had left liberalism behind. Out of curiosity - I googled some GOP pols to see what they said. They made all the appropriate comments about racism, Nazis, and violence having no place in American life. I knew they didn’t mean it but at least they said it.

          What made me want to projectile vomit surprised me. It was a tweet by Obama - Mr. Liberalism himself. I soon learned it was the most liked tweet ever. It hit all the right notes in a picture perfect manner. In an oblique way it mentioned hate, racism, more importantly it mentioned love, it name-checked Nelson Mandela, and Obama inserted himself into all that with a photo of himself.

          “No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin or his background or his religion.”

          [a photo of Obama with kids]

          “People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love For love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.” - Nelson Mandela

          https://nitter.poast.org/BarackObama/status/896523232098078720

          Wiki

          This tweet was the first of three, by former U.S. president Barack Obama, quoting a passage from Nelson Mandela’s autobiography, Long Walk to Freedom, in response to the 2017 Charlottesville attack. The accompanying picture, taken in 2011 by former White House photographer Pete Souza, shows Obama visiting a day care center in Bethesda, Maryland.

          Four days later, Twitter publicly confirmed that it had become the most-liked tweet on the platform ever, with over 3.3 million likes at the time of announcement. The tweet surpassed previous record holder Ariana Grande’s Manchester tweet on August 15, 2017, when it reached 2.7 million likes three days after being posted.

          In my bones - deep in my bones - I knew that liberals would never actually do anything about fascism. Instead they’d give speeches as a pantomime of action and their base would eat it up.

            That’s funny that was about the same time the switch flipped for me too. I was purging reactionary shit from my youtube feed (I was big into breadtube stuff, contrapoints, philosophy tube, some more news etc) and I went to bed watching some video essay.

            When I awoke, autoplay had served up a chapo traphouse episode in my feed and I had never heard them before and I wasn’t sure if they were chuds or leftists but I was too lazy to get up and too compelled to keep listening to them shit on liberals in a compelling manner when I heard this
