The Alt-Right

[J Ed]

Another aspect that's worth thinking about is the sort of cross-pollination that goes on between the sort of alt-right orbit on social media on the one hand and older forms of media on the other. The Daily Star, the Express and the Sun all use terms like 'Social Justice Warrior' now, and if you listen to American talk radio you hear very similar. This is the sort of thing that I think that a lot of people on the left, liberals, centrists and so on don't get because they often don't know anyone with these views and if they do then they aren't reading or listening to their media.

The phrase "politically correct" also migrated from an alt-right radio show to the mainstream media.

They regularly use "virtue signalling", "SJW", "triggered" etc on The Moral Maze. Of course, they've always been cunts on The Moral Maze. But when your buzzwords start coming out of the mouths of Radio 4 right wing contrarians that language may have jumped the shark.

They have frequent contributors from the RCP/Spiked stable, don't they? There are some links between Breitbart and their lot. Or, if you want to cut out the middle man, James Delingpole just has a podcast on that website.

I have an idea to cut out the middleman, it in involves something lingering with boiling oil or molten lead.

Claire Fox From The Institute For Ideas is a regular, who is RCP/Spiked. I thought they got rid of Melanie Phillips for being a mad racist but it seems she's back. The other regulars aren't particularly nuts on their own but at best they take the "reasonable" position which of course does nothing, hence the continuing nutward drift.

No it didn't.

[Cheesypoof]

yeh i watch him....

 

[Treacle Toes]

yeh i watch him....

What do you like about him Cheesypoof ?

 

[Cheesypoof]

What do you like about him Cheesypoof ?

i think he is fairly right wing but makes a good case on many issues. Such as that Islam is not a religion of peace post. He is correct that it is not a race, but an ideology.

 

[Cheesypoof]

What do you think about Black Lives Matter Rutita1?

 

[Shechemite]

What do you like about him Cheesypoof ?

The hair

 

[Shechemite]

i m Such as that Islam is not a religion of peace post. He is correct that it is not a race

Sharp lad isn't he?

 

[Cheesypoof]

Sharp lad isn't he?

explain.

 

[Cheesypoof]

The hair

hmm, lost me.

 

[Shechemite]

explain.

By his analysis that Islam isn't a race. Not a great deal gets past him

 

[Shechemite]

hmm, lost me.

Bit of a given that

 

[Cheesypoof]

Bit of a given that

some idea, was it

 

[Shechemite]

some idea, was it

Yes

 

[Cheesypoof]

Yes

care to explain, you quoted me. thus.

 

[Shechemite]

Explain what I meant by 'hair'?

It's not even that late cheesy. Got started early this evening?

 

[ViolentPanda]

They're making the point that stating that "Islam is not a religion of peace" (to paraphrase) is not exactly an original analysis. In fact it's banal in its' un-originality. Frankly, very few mass religions are religions of peace. They have all preached with a sword as often as with a dove.

 

[Shechemite]

explain.

care to explain.

Although this would explain your watching of PJW.

Islam is an ideology. I wondered if you thought its something else.

True. But sadly this was on yet another topic that Cheesypoof needed things explaining to them

Actually your desire for explaination there led from my comment about your interest in PJWs hair.
