Americans killed by the Alt Right/Nazis in 2017:


So 0.058% of the murders in the U.S.? Is that the point you're trying to make? More people are killed in gang violence each day.

Nah, you don't get to have it both ways. If liberals are going to endlessly scream that anyone who supports Trump is a white supremacist or alt-right, people are going to read into signs like this as being typical sour grapes over Trump. Don't like being called on it, don't use such melodramatic rhetoric all the time.


So despite a noted uptick in violent crimes related to white supremacy, it's not worth looking into because it's a small portion of overall violent crimes? Can one ignore that it is, in ways, tied to the current politic climate along with the efforts of Richard Spencer and other noted white nationalists?

But I suppose you're right. You can't have it both ways. You can't simultaneously say you're for racial profiling and say you're not racist.


Any "uptick" based on such a small sample is insignificant. It could just be random fluctuation that one often sees with rare events.

In fact, four of the murderers on that list were not even motivated by any alt-right ideology. That would be the Portland killer, Jeremy Christian, who called Trump supporters, "perckerwood hillbilly rednecks pretending they ain't racist". He hated all organized religion, including Christianity, because they "killed his Pagan ancestors". His hate for Islam stemmed from a different belief system (not the alt-right's "Muslims are all terrorists and a threat to Western civilization" rhetoric). The New Mexico school shooter, who killed for reasons not related to any alt-right beliefs. The murderer of Officer Parrish, who was just mental.

"Villian" is padding the numbers by including any high profile murder case where the perp had expressed support for alt-right ideology on social media, disregarding the fact that their crimes were not directly related to these beliefs.

One could also say there was an "uptick" in "alt-left" murders last year (if you compared the number to the year before).

You had the Kansas City serial killer who murdered two people.

You had the Fresno shooter who killed three.

You had the murder of Jamie Urton.

One could also pad this number by including the two cop killers who had left anti-cop and anti-white statements on social media before committing their crimes (though these killings were motivated by the suspects's desire to evade arrest for other crimes).

Good. "Resist white supremacy" is not only nonsense, it's typically code by Antifa shitheads and far-leftists to support their violent tantrums.

lmao Im so glad youre finally admitting that you have a problem with people who oppose white supremacy


Thats not what he said. White supremacy is a red herring phrase for anyone that doesnt agree with far left radical nonsense.

Lets say we assume that it is socially acceptable to attack anyone that is labeled a white supremacist. However, there are no rules or guidelines to slapping this label on anyone. So, it becomes a ticket to attack anyone you do not like or disagree with. Just justify the attack with he was a white supremacist!

Its that mindset that Admiral opposes, not attacking the ideologies of dictionary definition white supremacists.

If Im way off in my inference, let me know, @The_Admiral


No that's just your dumbass disingenuous victimized interpretation of it. This sign is pretty straightforward. Would you rather it say "Resist white supremacy, as in the dictionary definition and not 'anyone who doesn't agree with far left radical nonsense'"?


When people like Derick Blackman, Ben Shapiro, Dave Rubin, Blaire White, and Larry Elder are all grouped in with white supremacists it loses it original meaning and becomes anyone I dont like is a white supremacist!

If were talking about dictionary definition actual white supremacists, absolutely, Im right there with you. When when you use the term so broadly that it is basically used as a synonym for conservative then I just cant take the term seriously.


What about people who link to the Daily Stormer?

She didn't change teams, she suggested having conversations instead of playing the "no-platform" game that just deepens divides. And the progressive side threw her in the pit.

Because by juxtaposing these two things in the same conversation, she's essentially legitimizing it. She's putting them on equal footing, which those arguments don't deserve because they've not done the work. And the people who espouse those ideas never defend their positions, electing instead to move the goalposts and continue arguing.

She knows that. She's got years of personal experience with it and she does it anyway. It's the same thing people give CNN shit for, and the reason John Stewart dragged them for years. It's every panel on global climate change you've ever seen, and we have done studies showing that these things don't improve people's understanding of the issues, but mostly complicate them.

And she's getting money? Wat. Sis, not only are your theoretically ideological antagonists getting more out of this rhetorically than you, it very much looks like your selling you're platform out for money.

She made a video about talking to the other side (anti-feminists and conservatives) and progressive assholes on social media threw a shit fit. Then it came out that she had started dating YouTuber Chris Ray Gun and they threw an even bigger shit fit and insinuated she doesn't get to date people like him who aren't down with their cause without being a traitor to LGBTQ, women, and PoC folks. On top of the doxxing, miscellaneous harassment, and character assassination they apparently threw at her.

She made an appearance on This American Life recently and SJWs bombarded them on Twitter for giving a platform to an alt-right, white supremacist Neo-Nazi.

That's fair. How can you credibly claim to support a cause while carrying on a relationship with someone who actively opposes that cause? It's about as believable as Melania's anti-bullying initiative, or Scoot Pruitt's leadership of the EPA. I'm not condoning doxxing and further harassment, but their criticisms of her are reasonable and deserved. Pay them all dust.

EDIT: Like, she does this video talking about intersectionality with Franchesca Ramsey that's really good at summarizing intersections 101, and how important considering those perspective are for making sure your progressive politics do the most good for the most people. How should one interpret this video in the light of her more current actions? These things can't coexist. It's like it's coming from a different person.

That's bullshit. You can associate with, even date, people you don't entirely agree with on every subject. And a willingness to debate and converse with ideological opponents, even acknowledging that they might occasionally have a good point, doesn't mean you abandon your own political values. The fact that you can't see how someone can be in a relationship with someone they have political disagreements with is bizarre to me.

You can associate with, even date, people you don't entirely agree with on every subject.

But it's not just 'every subject;' that's being dismissive. It's politics explicitly legitimizing the experiences of everyone who has been disenfranchised by society specifically because of who/what they are (woman, latinx, gay, neuro-atypical, TGNC, disabled, etc). Many of these questions and how they're treated inform our sense of ethics, civics, the responsibilities we have to our neighbors and ourselves, and what we want for our futures.

You're talking like these or related politics don't influence several parts of your daily life, but they do. People enfranchised by the status quo can conveniently ignore it, that's their privilege should they choose to exercise it. The rest of us live in the double consciousness, aware of the status quo and ways we fall outside it.

Ms. Green is trying to straddle the line between choosing that bubble and popping it, but it doesn't work that way. If she still wants to be seen as an advocate for these causes, she needs to walk the walk in addition to talking the talk. The bare minimum here is not shacking up with people who's political beliefs dehumanize or erase people like you.

You can associate with, even date, people you don't entirely agree with on every subject.

But it's not just 'every subject;' that's being dismissive. It's politics explicitly legitimizing the experiences of everyone who has been disenfranchised by society specifically because of who/what they are (woman, latinx, gay, neuro-atypical, TGNC, disabled, etc). Many of these questions and how they're treated inform our sense of ethics, civics, the responsibilities we have to our neighbors and ourselves, and what we want for our futures.

You're talking like these or related politics don't influence several parts of your daily life, but they do. People enfranchised by the status quo can conveniently ignore it, that's their privilege should they choose to exercise it. The rest of us live in the double consciousness, aware of the status quo and ways we fall outside it.

Ms. Green is trying to straddle the line between choosing that bubble and popping it, but it doesn't work that way. If she still wants to be seen as an advocate for these causes, she needs to walk the walk in addition to talking the talk. The bare minimum here is not shacking up with people who's political beliefs dehumanize or erase people like you.


I'm being dismissive because your position hasn't been worth anything beyond dismissal. We get it, you want to police who a woman can have a relationship with if the person they want to date isn't on your political side. As if they can't have personal qualities beyond their political positions.

You don't get to decide what counts as the bare minimum. Who she decides to date has no bearing on whether or not she can support or advocate for social justice causes and willingness to debate or converse with anti-sjw, anti-pc types doesn't detract from that.

Maybe we should disengage from this conversation for a bit. I'm trying to keep it civil, but I'm having an increasingly difficult time not being openly hostile toward you and I'd rather not get so antagonistic.

You're probably not trying to, but the message I keep getting from you in regard to her harassment is "she deserves it for associating with the anti-sjw crowd" and it irks me how often the Left will turn a blind eye to other progressive folks behaving badly. Trying not to get too riled up, you see.

Good. "Resist white supremacy" is not only nonsense, it's typically code by Antifa shitheads and far-leftists to support their violent tantrums.

While that can be true, the take-away message is that the person found it "not inclusive"... uh... I could see if they stuck to "we don't want to see any signs" or something, but the logic is flawed.

I don't have to insult you. I have proven that you are a hypocrite and a fool. That's not insulting you, that's exposing you.
