MAGAThread XVII: All Things NOT Impeachment

[Fahran]

Isn't /pol/ where the alt-right hang out though? I know its separate from the rest of 4chan, but still.

Do you know what the alt-right is beyond the popular misunderstanding? I'm not asking rudely, rather trying to determine what your knowledge base is so I can decide how to explain this further.

It used to be the neoreactionary edge-lords but then the white nats attacked.

I know it's a tent of anti-establishment ideologies that view themselves in opposition to mainstream conservatism. It's different from the alt-light as the alt-right usually has white nationalist leanings and wants an ethnostate. Many if not most of them are neo-Nazis, though there are others that don't quite qualify as fascists. Most are antisemitic, though some groups like American Renaissance seem to be exceptions.

The alt-right does engage in false flag campaigns as well.

You've a decent working knowledge. /pol/ is Mos Eisley cantina.It's a place of peace where all types of scum assemble to do things, mainly trolling other trolls. It is too disorganized to be an effective rallying point. All posts are equal, the users anonymous (usually), the rules are loose and the user base notoriously willing to troll its own even if you are also racist, sexist or some form of asshole. This is not conducive to much more than meme making and various hoaxes. It's structure precludes that sort of thing.

However, if you want to see where the intellectual exchange of ideas between what might be called the alt-right exists, go to Twitter. From Twitter, there most people are led into the various bolt holes and organized forums that are conducive for movements. The irony is big bad Twitter is such a joke with its rule enforcement and bans that groups/sites like TRS, AMren and even an news offshoot of TRS called National Justice is allowed to continue to push forth it's message. They more than anything are the conduit. Chan culture and alt-right/lite have some overlap but the terms, memes and phrases will be largely different though mutually intelligible if that makes sense.

I'm not someone who cares for the "humanity" of ISIS fighters, especially when they've burned people alive.

The humanity of American soldiers does matter though. And, beyond that, we do not live in an atomized society.

And there's nothing more human than getting revenge on human trash.

Tbqfh trophy taking has a long and glorious history with the US military.

[Vassenor]

Tbqfh trophy taking has a long and glorious history with the US military.

And I believe even during WW2 it was officially frowned upon because of the risk of reprisal.

Let's make that image more visible.

It was officially frowned upon, everybody knew about it basically but nobody did anything about it or talked about it. The enemy were subhuman yellow monkeys anyway.

The overlap is entirely non-coincidental, however.

Trophy taking only became frowned upon in the 80's or 90's or thereabouts.

I have no opion on the stuff your talking about, but out of everything I've seen Trump remains a very shitty president.

[Ifreann]

So apparently people are so paranoid about the foreigns coming in that CBP thought it needed to reassure everyone that no, Santa has the right papers.

Gonna build a wall, and the Lappish will pay for it.

So, in an interview Trump said his favourite christmas movie is Home Alone 2. Not least because he has a cameo in it.

So of course, when Canadian broadcaster CBC aired it they... cut that scene.

To make room for commercials of course. Not as a political statement.

I assume a Canadian government run broadcaster would be trying to avoid touchy issues as a whole

Is Home Alone 2 really so despised in Canada?

And yet, Marines at in the pacific theatre had necklaces made of Japanese ears. War is hell.

“We did it in the past” is not a reason to keep doing it.

Shay’s rebellion was over the ineffectuality of government to adequately meet its obligations to pay revolutionary war soldiers what it owed and the overburdening system of taxes under the articles of confederation. It was government regulation that caused the rebellion, not lack of it. To say the rebellion was anti-capitalist is a reach beyond reaches

Well…yes and no. The taxation was a cause, but not the primary one. The actual cause was British and European merchants who refused to extend credit, requiring that American merchants pay them in gold and silver (a thing of which there was a notable lack). These American merchants would then pass the cost along to their consumers, who were then, because of the merchants’ shenanigans, unable to pay their taxes. The government (which was mostly dominated by the merchant class) refused to lower taxes in exchange. The lack of pay for Revolutionary War soldiers was actually caused by the severe weakness of government under the AOC.

Taxes have nothing to do with the free market. That's something governments impose.

Well, no. Beyond the fact that a “free market” is a contradiction in terms, it requires a government and taxes to exist in the first place.

No it isn't and capitalism has nothing to do with taxes or government regulations.

[Chernoslavia]

So?

So he's trash. Human garbage. Violent and dangerous. Worse than any of the people who've been called "thug" by an angry old Republican.

So a man who's only crime was taking a group photo with a dead terrorist is worse than actual violent thugs. Got it.

TFW an obvious joke goes way over your head.
