Just keep wasting your time on dumb young idiots instead of the people who are actively working to run the world into the ground because of a need for some sort of equivalence between them.

We should divide our attention between raking the leaves off the front lawn, and putting out the fire that has spread from the kitchen to the living room.

The 'they just do it for the shock' line is 100% bullshit, it is sincere, you become what you pretend to be. They may claim insincerity, but that is solely because they aren't quite yet ready to admit it, or they hope to trip people up by claiming that. They're not being honest, they just pulling the usual sociopathic trick of denying reality, telling the same lie long enough, in the hopes that people believe. And evidently, by the posts of some itt, some people do.

I get it, it's hard to admit that some people really are just shits, who enjoy hurting others. Most people aren't like that, and it's natural to want to believe the best in people, commendable even. But in the case of people who use ovens as Twitter avatars, who embrace the death drive, that is not accurate. They're not beyond rehabilitation, at least not most of them. But don't kid yourself - the only reason they're not killing innocent people, is because they don't have the opportunity to, not because they don't want to.

I think most people really do laugh at shock stuff. There being an actual movie called "gay niggers from outerspace" is so absurd and unexpected and awful it's funny. I think the concept of shock humor is a real thing. But being shock requires novelty, looking up and seeing that movie exists once is funny and shocking, once you have talked about it for more than a few minutes it's no longer a shock and you are just talking about it legitimately. I think shock humor is a real thing but people use it as a cover, once you have spent more than a half an hour or so on any topic you are no longer doing it out of shock, shock is long worn off.

The consensus seems to be that women's sexual and economic liberation is a bad thing. It's a bad thing for society because they believe women are inherently inferior and only good for making babies, and it's a bad thing for them because women are no longer forced to be dependent on a monogamous relationship with a man to support themselves, which means less women are forced to pair off with men like themselves.

If they actually won, they'd be equally pissed off, because their Assigned Woman would probably be some pudgy housewife with frequent headaches in the evening, rather than the monogamous 19-year-old porn star they are imagining.

Well the other option is that he was calling you subhuman and I don't think you're a leftist so it still wouldn't make a lot of sense.

The whole thread really has been an exercise in calling the alt right a bunch of off-brand nazis so it would be more accurate to say that's what DnD is about.

I don't believe there is an alt-right; there's is only the right. It's an astroturfed term to describe millennial right wingers who enjoy anime porn and do NOT enjoy women talking about video games. Also a way for very serious, establishment, still racist and still misogynist, right-wingers to say "These guys are with us, but they're not like us, we're better, but they have our backs!"

The American left is stymied by being in a country that has had a political spectrum comprised entirely of flavours of liberalism for 100% of its history.

However, there is absolutely nothing preventing an integration of identity politics into an economic leftist platform, the two are not remotely mutually exclusive and there is no credible reason to dislike one in favor of the other.

Is there any sort of reliable demographic data (or polling) of self-identified Alt-righters?

It might help to have some sense of perspective when we're trying to figure out how much of the Alt-right is edgy memes for fashy teens, how much is misogyny, and how much is an expression of typical conservative concerns about stability and security.

Or maybe it's all about sex. But I doubt it.

• "Stop saying these men who hate women aren't angry about not getting laid!"

I wonder if there's a reason why college campus politics concerned primarily with the environment of the college campus might not be especially concerned about what low education working class people think of their activities.
