#altright

The Youtuber who made the critical "The Alt Right Playbook" is in financial trouble and might have to look for other work.

These essays are extremely helpful and influential education for battling rising fascism. It would be great if the #community gets together to help Ian Danskin (and his Innuendo Studios) to keep going.

#InuendoStudio has been producing some really great video series, especially the #altright #playbook, a great help to anyone trying to figure out why #socialmedia have been so useful to #extremerightwing movements. He is now in deep financial difficulties and might be forced to put an end to this work.

His situation is not unique. Many #freelance #contentproducers are in similar difficulties. If we want to keep seing great content, we need to support them.

If there's one company that should bring about the #corporate #deathpenalty it's #meta.

They've cost nation states and countries around the world millions upon millions in therapy and is probably the core reason why some people committed suicide.

It's also what's been promoting the #altright - i.e #fascism on a global basis. #Twitter is nothing in comparison.

Mutant Capitalism
How the dystopian visions of the nativist right are in keeping with a long tradition of neoliberal ideology.

"[T]his #newRight does not really reject globalism but advances a new strain of it [...] The fix it finds in race, culture, and nation is but the most recent iteration of a pro-market philosophy based not on the idea that we are all the same but that we are in a fundamental, and perhaps permanent way, different." - #QuinnSlobodian

@ryan

the ideology thing and enforcement in woke circles can be culty, but it lacks the figurehead. I mean even Bernie got derailed as being not woke enough for going on Rogan and having Bernie Bros. (he called open borders a Koch brothers conspiracy for cheap labor) since then, he seems to have fallen in line.

I just did another post arguing for #AltRight instead of #MAGA. I think that's much more similar to #wokeism.

We fucked up in using the term #MAGA. They're #AltRight. That term/movement came first. Going back to that makes it more clear that #Trump did what nearly every politician does, run up to the front of a parade already in progress and pretend to have been leading it all along. And MAGA also lets him claim the right to decide what "making America great again" means. Instead of defining nationalism (what they call patriotism), they are just an ideological subset of a subset of what our flag means.

As Evan Hurst notes, Vera Papisova spent a year dating alt-right men to find out what makes them tick (this is so difficult to figure out?) and ended up comculding that on the whole they're “erratic, violent and incapable of managing their emotions." But, get this, "we" are somehow responsible that they're that way, since "we" have pushed them into isolation.

Himpathy much?
