Ok, then we'll have to agree that antifa represents the whole of the progressive movement. I'm good with that.Spencer’s writing kept appearing, advancing ever more extreme opinions in ever more obscure journals. In 2008, he began popularizing the term alt-right.
In 2011, he moved from Washington to Whitefish, Montana, where his mother owns a vacation home and a commercial building. (She is the heiress to cotton farms in Louisiana, and his father is a respected Dallas ophthalmologist.) There he edited and published a new online magazine, Alternative Right, and soon took over the National Policy Institute. Founded in 2005 by William Regnery II, of the conservative Regnery publishing family, NPI is a white-identity think tank with little money and virtually no staff. During the next five years, Spencer merged its mission with his own./524505/

At some point you lefties will figure out that the whole of the populace doesn't respond to your dog whistles. Trump being elected president should be the biggest clue of this reality that you trained monkeys have ever received.
People don't want or need the patronizing lectures the left provides on what and how to think. Sure, there are folks like you that gobble that shit up, but there are a bunch of us that know better and have shown you our distaste for ideologues like Obama. Despite the "polls," the ideology that put Trump in office isn't going anywhere.
LOL Feel better? None of that rambling "response" has anything to do with the article you quoted. You are presented with facts and you retreat to lecturing me on how to think, Trump, dog whistles, progressives, etc. Okay.
The contention was Spencer doesn't represent the alt-right. So I looked it up. There it is. Those facts portray him as the founder of the alt right, if anything. Do you dispute the facts in the quote?
I don't dispute facts about Richard Spencer, but the only alt right Richard Spencer represents is his own brand. The vast majority of folks that identify as alt right don't identify with Richard Spencer. I wouldn't expect one article in the Atlantic that is focused on Richard Spencer to cover the other majority of people that identify as alt right. This isn't rocket surgery.The contention was Spencer doesn't represent the alt-right. So I looked it up. There it is. Those facts portray him as the founder of the alt right, if anything.

The ideology of the alt right didn't originate with Richard Spencer. He simply associated himself the term. Richard Spencer is probably best described as an actual neo-nazi. He and David Duke are much alike. Modern alt right figures like Paul Joseph Watson, Mike Cernovich, and Milo Yiannopoulos are nothing like Richard Spencer in ideology. The ideology of these guys is along the lines of the people who supported Pat Buchanan.
I do know the left has tried really hard to make Spencer the face of the alt right for the political purpose of calling the alt right racist and other scary sounding names. Again, does antifa represent the entirety of the progressives?
There are plenty of sources available to read about mainstream alt right ideology. Mostly it's summed up by this quote:
"The alt-right is not defined by any particular school of thought, but by the neoliberal school of thought it rejects. The alt-right, in the simplest terms, is an unapologetic purging of liberal idiocy."
Huh? Dude I'm not alt right. I don't follow him at all nor did I imply I did. I just try to educate myself on stuff rather than drinking from a partisan punch bowl.Cernovich? Really. This is a guy you follow/respect/like?
I'm surprised by that.

@Been Jammin drive-by? Does the lefty hate that his narrative has been squashed?Huh? Dude I'm not alt right. I don't follow him at all nor did I imply I did. I just try to educate myself on stuff rather than drinking from a partisan punch bowl.
Did you read the name of the writer?
Well, we all know,you can't buy influence in Washington.
@Been Jammin drive-by? Does the lefty hate that his narrative has been squashed?
What I'm saying is it's definitely not as simple as what you put forward.
Hell, the House of Saud and Citibank gave Obama a list they would like to see on his cabinet. Any guesses as to how closely it was followed?
Sure it could be construed that way. I think it's funny that one was a Jewish publication and one came from what looks like a Palastinen source.
Nice try -- the "anti-semetic" article on the Iraq war architects was from here:
Fair enough, and I agree that it is not as simple as what I put forward. At the same time, the simpleness of my rhetoric is at least 10x more nuanced than NZ’s post which boils down to “Jews are to blame for the Iraq War”.
Given that.... I have a couple of follow up questions that I would value your thoughts on.
Is the question re: the Iraq War as simple as what NZ put forward to start this conversation?
Isn’t simply boiling down the complicated issue of the Iraq War to twenty people (the overwhelming majority of them...close to all of them...Jewish) are to blame for the war....at least a little anti-Semitic?
Of course not and sure.
I don't know how many hand helped baked the pie, but it makes sense to me that the Israelis/American Jewish politicians were at least in the kitchen, given the region that it all took place.
Does that make me an anti Semitic?
No biggie sir.Apologies for the mischaracterization and for not responding sooner. I misinterpreted your previous post that I quoted.
Been thinks that posting factual information from Jewish sources is somehow racist.

(Hitler was a distant third).
Continuing on this subject, is this racist or antisemitic?

It's important to remember that Mao killed *many millions* more people than Stalin or Hitler (Hitler was a distant third).
I'm very wary of people who like to rationalize that one of Stalin or Hitler was 'better'.
Continuing on this subject, I’ll start answering your challenges when you do mine.
It was on social media.
Some of the people were discussed in this article.

I’m going to follow @Medic007’s advice and just excise you from my board experience here.
Interestingly, you can't see his bullshit when you put him on ignore. What he actually wants is people to continue to engage him. It clearly motivates him.That is exactly what he wants. Fewer people to call him out when he spreads his propaganda in hopes that the lemmings will buy into his BS.

Your feelings and emotions towards the provider of information aren't relevant.
It's easy to make a case (based on simple math) that Mao was exponentially worse than Stalin or Hitler.
Everyone should research the Great Leap Forward --- something we don't have a visual reference of because the Chinese government hides it.
(And because Hollywood has rarely made movies showing life in communist societies, nor movies portraying Marxism negatively)

Important:
In 2009, Obama's communications director praised Mao:
When someone is ignored, you don't see anything from them, including their stuff quoted by others. No posts, no quoted stuff, and you won't even see threads he starts.Sorry @Medic007 and @CowboyJD if my quoting him makes you aware of his post. I'm about to join you as well in the ignoring, which is something I never thought would happen. I disagree with most people on here, but I don't think any of them are totally brainwashed or anything resembling that. Bizarre.
