alt right? more like alt gay!
| uh...
| Ba dum tss
| Ten bucks says OP is actually an Alt-Rightist trying to make libs look bad.
I mean, as a socialist I don't like 'em either, but still.
| I'm cinfused as to the purpose of this thread.
| OH NO, THE FIGHT'S OUT.
| Can anyone tell me what's "alt right" means? Like "alternative right"? Or "altogether right"?
| >>304727 Alternative. Although what it really means is extreme, but we don't use that word anymore. It's not pc.
| >>304727 >>24f588 >>9acfec are very far from it. It's a movement that spawned from youtube "skeptics" as a right wing movement. The Republicans in the US took advantage of its popularity. It's libertarian but it swings left of that way too often. Far from an extreme it's a pseudo conservative movement.
Also, the way the skeptics ate each other reminds me a lot of left wing ecelebs doing the same. Makes you think.
| >>304756
Conspiracy theorist and skeptic are two different things. Alt-right is unrelated to critical thinking of any kind. Anyway here is what skeptics say. It's pretty funny.

| >>304756 Skeptics are supposedly alt-centrist. Their goal is to be contrarian to the mainstream bullshit. Since the media is mainly left-wing, of course many of them are going to bring up mostly right stances. I don't deny that among them there are some who are lowkey or even highkey hard right, but there are also a few who are left leaning. Either way, they've mostly found common ground on their libertarian stances.
| In fact, I think in this political landscape, the right may actually be more liberal than the left, since what the left mostly does is defend their values while the right challenges them, but that's another story.
| >>304756
A better way of explaining it was that a lot of old skeptic on YouTube posed themselves as the intellectual underground during the Bush years, but when libs got into power with Obama they either had to pivot rightward (which wasn't to hard for some) or be made irrelevant, the biggest turning point for this was gamergate I believe, the thing is is that when the right started to gain traction on YouTube, leftists reacted by starting their own channels.
| >>304801 oh yeah the media is so left, I remember celebrating May-day with thunderous Applause./s
The media isn't left they're liberals, they don't want the left gain power as socialism/anarchism destroys money making potential, while heavily distrustful of reactionaries and fascists as they to limit money making potential both still preserve capitalism and as a result the liberal elite will still turn to them if the left is going to/is revolutionizing.
| it's kinda stupid how conservatives confuse liberals and socialists just because both are progressive on some things
| >>304823 I'm still confused tbh. What>>304813 is saying makes the media sound pretty conservative, or at the very least self-serving, which imo is similar. So they're opportunitic capitalists, yes?
| >>304823
It's not confusion, it's identity politics. Everyone outside the group is a homogeneous enemy.
| >>304823 Depends which liberal you're thinking of. In the present there's an economical and social liberal side with completely different goals in mind.
| Alt right is not real
| Can someone pass me some popcorn?
| >>306726
>Implying the media people aren't either just greedy fucks or a bunch of self-righteous retards.
| >>306812
What do you call it when a greedy self-righteous fuck gives you factual information? Factual information. Get over yourself.
| The only kind of fake news is when they try to report it asap to be the first
| >>306816 Factual. And biased. And sometimes even factually incorrect. There are a few sources I respect, but the rest are dogshit most times. Some even all times.
| >>307475
>OH FUCK EVIL BIASED MEDIA JUST SAID THE SUN DOESN'T GO AWAY AT NIGHT AND SUPPORTED IT WITH LIVE FOOTAGE AND EXPERT COMMENTARY! IT IS EVIL CAPITALIST JEWISH PLOT TO SELL NEWS! I KNOW THEY ARE LIARS BECAUSE I HATE EXPERTS AND I ONLY LISTEN TO PEOPLE WHO AREN'T DOGSHIT BECAUSE THEY TELL ME WHAT I ALREADY KNOW
Head out of anus.
| >>307501
On one side the media can be worse than being uninformed, but on the other side it depends what the source is, so I ask >>307475 what is the source you go to.
| >>307501
>Implying that isn't true.
To an extent at least. It's incredibly sad how much faith you have in them.
| >>307517 Yeah, I suppose the more sources you get, the more informed you are. Most people aren't going to bother though. Nevertheless, there isn't an exact source I go to, but generally I trust DeFranco and Knowhere News, since they bring up opposing views when they can unlike other places.

>Redtext all caps rant about me being supposedly a poltard and how media is respectable
>GEE, whAt Am i ImblynIg
| Gay is OK!
Bash the fash!
| /d/ is the alt gay
| Alt right isn't even a thing, friends. Way to swallow the media term like a bunch of cattle.
| very big homogay though
| Fascists are not people.
| Alt right is the only succesful meme from the left
| >>310744 that would imply that 1) the right can meme and not just repost stale memes from 2016 and 2) the term wasn't an attempt by neo-nazis and their ilk to rebrand themselves to something nicer sounding.
| interesting ted talk about modern fascist threat:
