Donald Trump and US politics
"I don't consider the MSM to be alt-left ("mainstream" and "alternative" are opposite, correct?). Leftwing media outlets with "contributor" systems sometimes platform the far left, or sometimes even hire them, but they tend to be extreme enough to be bad optics and quickly dropped. Not all of Black Lives Matter but the black supremacists within it; not all feminists but Anita Sarkeesian; Antifa thugs; etc. Very illiberal voices. But I misspoke. Trump hasn't really focused onthe alt-left in the way that alt-media has. Instead, Trump has focused more on the mainstream Left and its epistemologically authoritarian power structures that 1) consistently portray his policies as far right when they're actually very centrist and 2) their lack of coverage on the alt-left. #2 is moderately hypocritical for reasons you snipped, but more pertinent because the alt-left is much stronger, more normalized and more threatening than the alt-right. When Stephen Colbert was killed by HYDRA's Project Insight in 2014, the comedy world lost a hero. Since his life model decoy isn't up to the task, please do not mistake my performance as political discussion. I'm just doing what Steve would have wanted.

" I seriously doubt that. If the media were to do a daily report on what kinds of things they say (assuming they are as bad as they were when I checked one of them a long time ago)- then the public would be renting bulldozers and razing their houses. Any place that employed them would be picketed out of business. A vomit milkshake is more palatable than half of what they write, which is why I doubt they want any attention focused on them by the media. Close government scrutiny of the worst ones is something that has been done in the past, and something I hope they are still doing now to the extent it is allowed. I doubt it would be hard to get a judge to sign off on. PoE Origins - Piety's story http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2081910

"It isn't an oxymoron. But if you prefer you could substitute in "Antifa, BLM, etc" whenever I use the term without losing much meaning.

" I certainly wouldn't call those two groups as alt-left. Far left for antifa (the actual anarchists) and BLM isn't a political stance. Its opposition to racism and profiling that blacks are victim of by the police force. It just happens that since they view Trump as racist (as do I), it splash into politics. If Hillary was the president and had racist views (or at least, that black people view her as having such views), the opposition would be the same. You could, however, say that BLM are following ideologies that are more present in the left than the right. Just make the distinction between a political position and value representation.

" If I demand all your money, will you give it to me? All those demands doesn't do shit. |

If you're white chances are BLM will think you're racist (at least "implicitly"). If you're racist you're not far away from being a nazi, right? Looks like someone deserves to get punched :3
GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence. Last edited by Xavderion on Aug 19, 2017, 6:46:42 AM

" White people: Black People are out to get us. Black People: White people are out to get us. Why can't you people be friends? |

"The main content? Perhaps; it is pretty extreme. The comment section? I doubt it. When Stephen Colbert was killed by HYDRA's Project Insight in 2014, the comedy world lost a hero.
