Support NeoGAF

[Carpe Carnim]

Despite the last thread about this turning into a discussion of ethnic identity, I wanted to highlight the latest news on harassment and incitement in a small town in Montana.

Richard Spencer, editor of the "self-described Alt-Right" (read: Neo-Nazi) website Dailystormer and supporter of Trump and his administration has planned an armed protest against Jewish people and their allies, who he blames for boycotting his mother's business in Whitefish, Montana.

The publisher of the Daily Stormer writes:
"We are planning an armed protest in Whitefish.

“Montana has extremely liberal open carry laws, so my lawyer is telling me we can easily march through the center of the town carrying high-powered rifles.

“I myself am planning on being there to lead the protest, which has been dubbed ‘March on Whitefish.’

“Currently, my guys say we are going to be able to put together about 200 people to participate in the march, which will be against Jews, Jewish businesses and everyone who supports either.

So to the usual suspects who will wave this off as trolls setting the narrative, and who think we should be focused on something else instead of pointing out eliminationist elements of the modern Right organizing an armed mob against minorities, what's your excuse now?

On topic, that's really fucked up, but expected, and trump supporters? Color me surprised

Spoiler

not

 

[Kathian]

Terrible. Also don't call it neo Nazi in fucking brackets. Can everyone STOP using the term alt right? It's not an alternative right wing ideology - it's fascism.

Libertarian ideas were not called alt right - they were called libertarian ideas. Facists trying to rebrand and argue that alt right is a collective term for facism and libertarianism is fucking ridiculous.

What a bunch of assholes.

Point taken, i've reworked it a bit to add "self-described Alt-Right" to make the point that this is an attempted rebranding of fascism a bit more overt. I agree with your sentiment.

 

[TheWasTheJoke]

Imagine if someone had done this 10 years ago

Ohh how things have changed

 

[ActWan]

All these neo nazis supporting Trump, don't they know Trumps daughter is Jewish?

 

[Straight Edge]

Hope someone is planning a counter protest STAT.

 

[Carpe Carnim]

Modern Conservatism makes for strange bund-fellows

... planned an armed protest against Jewish people and their allies, who he blames for boycotting his mother's business in Whitefish, Montana...

this sounds so ridiculous

 

[Sparkedglory]

Yeeeeah, let's see how that works out for them...idiots

 

[kingkaiser]

All these neo nazis supporting Trump, don't they know Trumps daughter is Jewish?

That's because they are dumb and actually believe in raciology, so it doesn't matter what religion you convert into as long as your bloodline stays "pure".

The funny thing is looking at these "master-race" guys and seeing a lot of nearsighted guys wearing glasses.

 

[Tugatrix]

Jews in montana? so these kind of people say they are afraid/against such a small group of people? They blame them for their problems, grow up kids you're responsible for your own problems not the others.

Ridiculous

[Slayven]

Maybe the Jews should sit them down and explain why they are human and genocide is wrong

 

[bebop242]

This cannot be tolerated any longer. There needs to be a clear message that this is not ok.

 

[Neverwinter27]

Cape Carmin, what happens if they put that photo on Linkedin as part of their profile?

 

[SlipperyFishes]

These motherfuckers need to go to a reeducation centre of their own where they're bombarded by imagery of what racism really feels like to those that are truly affected by it. Minorities, non-Christians, people of colour.

Not white (non-Jewish) people (like me) who really have no first hand experience of racism except by audience participation (not me directly, but white folks in general).

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Yeeeeah, let's see how that works out for them...idiots

I mean

They just won the presidency so it will probably work out fine

Maybe the Jews should sit them down and explain why they are human and genocide is wrong

Liberals continue to worry about the wrong things, like literal anti Semitism when they should be worrying about the proliferation of ID politics

/s

Uh, not sure if this is snark. If it's not, I fully support Nazis outing themselves, their employers, and telling us where they live and who their friends are...

 

[Lord Frieza]

Don't be so sure. The KKK was going to march to celebrate Trump in NC, but a massive counter protest made them cancel. I don't know if the same will happen here, but it could.

 

[Derwind]

This is insane. I'm almost at a loss for words at this point.

 

[Phantast2k]

This is fine freedom of speech.

 

[epmode]

Could you be more specific? What do you mean by "the proliferation of ID politics"?

 

[siddx]

But trump supporters keep telling my Jewish ass that I'm overreacting and need to calm down and give it a chance. Stupid fucking pricks.

 

[jet1911]

As a non American an armed march with people carrying "high powered rifles" seems sooooooo fucking weird. You guys are in for a rough 4 (hopefully) years.

 

[Host Samurai]

The most un American group in the world.

 

[linkboy]

Could you be more specific? What do you mean by "the proliferation of ID politics"?

I'm going to assume voter ID laws that are designed to suppress people's right to vote.

This is the way hate groups and racists work. They divide their victims and come for their victims, one by one.

See, you guys, IT IS about economic anxiety!

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Hey, it's a start..

 

[Demy]

Jeez the irresponsibility here. So his mom's business couldn't stay afloat, just like the vast majority of all startups, and he decides to blame an entire group of people. I can't identify with someone so petty.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Could you be more specific? What do you mean by "the proliferation of ID politics"?

I was being sarcastic :/

Go in any thread about shit like this and you have people saying "liberals" aren't focusing on the "real issues"

 

[Condom]

I know it's a joke but anti Semites think Jews control the world or have too much influence, not that they aren't human. If you want to battle them, knowing their theory comes in handy.

 

[Slayven]

Nothing tells me a business is great more than armed jack booted thugs

I know it's a joke but anti Semites think Jews control the world or have too much influence, not that they aren't human. If you want to battle them, knowing their theory comes in handy.

Nah, they believe both. It's that weird racist dichotomy, one of many. And it all goes back to the bible

More details via Haaretz...

Spencer’s mother, Sherry, has charged that a local real estate agent was trying to bully and force her into selling a building she owns in the town of Whitefish, threatening that if she doesn’t, her property would be the target of pickets and boycotts by those who object to her son’s politics. Both Sherry Spencer and Richard Spencer live in Montana during part of the year.

Spencer repeated his mother’s charges that an “extremely pushy” Jewish agent trying to force her to sell her building backed by “horrible charities” which he called “hate groups that are “solely based on attacking people.” The real estate agent, he said, wanted his mother to donate money from the sale to these groups and “sign ritual humiliating confessions,” calling the behavior “morally repulsive.”

Since the controversy hit national headlines over the past week, the attacks in the Daily Stormer have not only continued, but intensified and widened. In their most recent post, they put out a call to “kick it up a notch” by contacting business associates of those they charge with harming Spencer’s mother and “demand they cut their business ties with these individuals due to their unethical practices of threats, harassment and extortion of family members of people they disagree with” in order to “make it clear to those who associate with this criminal Jewish racket that we are aware of their associations.”

The Jewish targets of the attacks have gone silent, refusing to comment in the press and staying off of social media, though the Times article quoted friends as saying they have been receiving graphic death threats.

Oh hey, we finally found the right place to rehab violent cops.

All these neo nazis supporting Trump, don't they know Trumps daughter is Jewish?

Even the Nazis made exemptions when it was convenient to their ends. A legal writ to declare someone non-Jewish in the eyes of the state.

 

[epmode]

I was being sarcastic :/

I see!

I've been trying to get someone to give concrete examples of what they mean by that statement for a while. Hasn't happened yet.

That's true but Trump's son in law and grandkids are Jews and not just of the faith like his daughter.

 

[Captain Tuttle]

Does anyone know of any counter-protests being organized against these shitheels? I'd seriously consider flying out to participate.

This shit is scary to me. I'm not Jewish but my wife and children are and my wife is the grand-daughter of 4 Holocaust survivors. This stuff hits home for me.

 

[jackissocool]

LOL if you don't think cops love this shit. They crackdown on peaceful leftist protests but do nothing to fascists.

We need an armed resistance to this. You can ask nicely but they'll shoot you anyways.

(Insert any minority Religion or Group) in (Any part of the world currently)? so these kind of people say they are afraid/against such a small group of people? They blame them for their problems, grow up kids you're responsible for your own problems not the others.

Ridiculous

These paragraph has just became timeless

 

[Klappdrachen]

Those pictures are absolutely disturbing and alarming. Holy shit.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

Were literally seeing a repeat of Nazi tactics and all some people can do is make Harry Potter jokes.

These people openly talk of genocide. It's not funny.

But trump supporters keep telling my Jewish ass that I'm overreacting and need to calm down and give it a chance. Stupid fucking pricks.

It's infuriating. Even when things get worse I'm told: calm down.

We learned the first time. That doesn't work.
