Fascist dog whistles on social media

[...] Now, before I get too heated in the midst of writing this article, I should move on to what I’m really here to write about. If you’ve seen any social media profiles of fascists, such as Richard Spencer’s, you can see that the emoji in their Twitter names change every so often. For a while, Spencer had the okay hand gesture emoji between his first and last name as a symbol of white power. Since Trump’s recent attacks on Syria, however, Spenser has changed the emoji to Syria’s national flag in protest against Trump’s airstrike. [...]


Speaking of Alt-Right (in conjunction with my own infrequent feeling of deja-vu that I'm just submitting an item already posted before by somebody else or even me) here's a perversely adjectival nightmare "cute" cartoon history of PUAs, incels, and overall manosphere getting subsumed under the Alt-Right category: https://thenib.com/how-pick-up-artists-m...-alt-right

What a bullshit conflation of widely disparate things. It's like a conspiracy theory with threads crisscrossing all over the wall, supposedly making tenuous connections between unrelated things.

And when you get to the bottom of that page (or just look at the cite in general), you find that, yes, it's just a leftist fantasy. Shame on you for disseminating such crap.

Yep...Incels are part of the alt right movement. Hatred for women, hatred for immigrants, hatred for Jews, hatred for gays, hatred for blacks, hatred for liberals. Key word: hatred. Key concept: white male hetero privelege. It's all the same group that's been around since the 1950's.
