Reddit Says Goodnight to 'Alt-Right' Community

[Renae]

Please tell me this is sarcasm

Yes. It was.

 

[Geoist]

that's crap. progressives are basically socialist lite. single payer violates the tenth amendment

So then you are fine with states passing universal health care laws?

and is nothing more than income redistribution.

All government spending is income redistribution.

its a state power


some spending is for the greater good-like police and fire and military. Handouts are not for the greater good but for a sector of the community. That is what I oppose

 

[Geoist]

They needed a new pejorative when all the neocons threw their support behind Hillary.

Who are "they?" The Breitbart-types have called themselves Alt-Right for a quite a while now.

"Greater good"... sounds like commie talk, there.

How is providing a public option really any different than providing fire, police, or military? All are paid for by the tax payers. All are distributed funds through the government. And all provide for the greater good. The fact that it is against the law for a hospital to not provide care to a poor individual tells you it is pretty much seen as a public service.

because its a handout to those who don't pay for it.

 

[Geoist]

as I said. it is a ad hominem against people that refuse to bow down to the liberal left ideology.

It can be used as a ad hominem but it is also a label worn proudly by certain people on the Right.

And it isn't just people of the "liberal left" who have opposed the alt-right.

even though they don't fit the definition of the word.

If people are misusing terms then take it up with them. Everything I've said is correct.

thanks for proving my point.

:doh

So Canadians, Australians, all of Western Europe, (pretty much every person of the first world, except Americans) don't pay for their healthcare?

why do people always try to argue for the US being like other countries?

 

[Geoist]

Just answer the question.

 

[rocket88]

it is simply another ad hominem against people that refuse to blindly follow the liberal left mantra.

so much for the party of tolerance and inclusiveness.
they don't know what the words mean.

Alt-right was a term coined by Richard Spencer. Are you saying that he was a liberal?

Clearly, you've been triggered. I hear Breitbart is a safe space for the alt-right. At least, noted liberal Steve Bannon would like to think so.

 

[Tigerace117]

Yes. It was.

Good.

 

[Mason66]

Good riddance.


Reddit Says Goodnight to 'Alt-Right' Community [Update]

Earlier today Reddit banned r/altright, the primary community on the site for the so-called “alt-right.” And for a variety of reasons, that’s about all we know.

The subreddit had always courted controversy and pushed the bounds of Reddit’s relatively lax policies on speech. Users from r/altright often made inflammatory remarks about a variety of marginalized groups and many espoused views in the white supremacist/national socialist spectrum. Two of the subreddit’s moderators also appear to have been terminated, though it’s unclear if that’s related to the subreddit’s ban.

Because moderators had artificially inflated r/altright’s subscriber count, there’s no telling how large the community was. Like other banned abusive subreddits (r/fatpeoplehate and r/pizzagate to name a few), r/alright have made a new home for themselves on Reddit knockoff Voat. That community presently displays 314 subscribers.

What is Reddit?

it is a paintbrush fallacy.

If people are misusing terms then take it up with them. Everything I've said is correct.

words and phrases have definitions. if someone doesn't fit the description of that then no you are not correct.
you are simply using it as an ad hominem. I know I know liberals love to define their own meanings to words
but that isn't how the world works.

What is? What part of "Bannon adopted the term for Breitbart" don't you understand?

I know I know liberals love to define their own meanings to words
but that isn't how the world works.

Of course only liberals do it. :roll:

If only I knew what a reddit is. Hope it isn't communicable.

 

[Mr Person]

The subreddit alr/t was really a false flag type operation being run by the Mexican Intelligence services. The purpose was to be so toxic that it would make anything "pro-border control" be tainted. Now that President Trump has started having his people installed at the CIA and NSA, they were able to identify this and took down the operation.

We do have a conspiracy subforum...

 

[Renae]

It was a joke...

 

[Mr Person]

The only time I hear about alt.right is here.

Is it possible that the only other sites you visit don't want to mention it for political reasons?

(And you do realize that "alt right" is what they called themselves, yes? Or did you not hear that because, y'know, political reasons?)

Interesting. I would like to read more about this.

I hope I'm not investigating some more of that "fake news." (All those pop-ups and click bait. Slows my pooter down.)

Or, are you just pulling our leg? Having a little fun maybe?

No, it's like trying to use the Hell's Angels as an example of all motorcycle riders. It's just one more slur in the left wing inventory.

 

[Moot]

Then what should they be called?

Like another poster said...they call themselves Alt-right...and Reddit (until recently) and Breitbart give them a voice. In fact, Steve Bannon called Breitbart a platform for the Alt-right.

I have seen some of the alt right discussions, and I was surprised how blatantly racist and hateful it is.
