You're seeing it because there's a lot of Jewish folks in US media and they're using it "ironically" to call attention to their targeting.

A bit like everyone wearing white sheets to protest at Stone Mountain, but ending the phenomenon isn't really the issue, so much as drawing attention to their own victimization by the AltRight frog hordes. They want us to think it's serious.


Had to look that up, as I don't "tweet" nor vigorously follow the tweets of other twits.

https://www.engadget.com/2016/06/03/goo ... extension/


Google pulls Chrome extension used to target Jewish people
The tool was tracking nearly 8,800 people believed to be Jewish.



Following a detailed investigation by Mic, Google has pulled a Chrome extension that was used by racists to identify and track Jewish people online. The plugin, called "Coincidence Detector," added a series of triple parentheses around the surnames of Jewish writers and celebrities. For instance, visiting the page of Mic writer Cooper Fleishman, you'd see his surname presented as (((Fleishman))) -- turning the symbol into the digital equivalent of the gold star badge used to identify Jews in Nazi Germany. Until Google banned it for violating its policy on hate speech, the plugin had just under 2,500 users and had a list of 8,768 names that were considered worthy of tracking.

The plugin was created by altrightmedia, with no one person yet coming forward to claim authorship of the program. As Mic explains, it is sarcastically named Coincidence Detector in the service of a conspiracy theory that suggests that all Jews are engaged in a bid to undermine society. As Mic explains, the parentheses were popularized by right-wing website the Right Stuff, which suggested that all Jewish names have an echo. When used, it can provide a signal to far-right groups to target named Jewish people with insults and threats of violence. Motherboard reports that the symbol is already being reclaimed by Jewish writers online, who have added parentheses to their Twitter names.


As a result, there's now this as an 'alternative' (ha) option:

http://forward.com/news/342348/this-app ... n-twitter/

The neo-Nazis who were using three parentheses to target Jewish people online are now easily identifiable themselves due to the work of one anonymous web developer.

A new site called Echo Location displays a live stream of anyone posting on Twitter with the echo symbol and allows users to search for specific tweets with three parentheses as well.

The echo symbol, which has been used by neo-Nazis as 3 parentheses around the start and end of a Jewish person’s name, has become the subject of increased media attention last week . Prominent Jewish journalists such as Jeffrey Goldberg at Atlantic and Jon Weisman at The New York Times have also reclaimed it by putting it around their names.

After the echo symbol came to light, the developer noticed that the parentheses remained unsearchable on most forms of social media and allowed neo-Nazis to continue using it without getting caught. After connecting to the Twitter Streaming API, he created a site that brings up most tweets that contain the characters and displays them in a live stream.

The developer, who comes from a web background has been involved in anti-racist activism before, wishes to remain anonymous due to the increased risk of becoming targeted online for his work.

“It kind of looks like Nazis are not exactly happy that people are talking about [the symbol],” he said.



Hey SLAD: I believe I have a copyright on utilizing that film as an homage to our fellow resident AD.

Mazars and Deutsche Bank could have ended this nightmare before it started.
They could still get him out of office.
But instead, they want mass death.

Yes, that's the initial story, but 82_28 isn't seeing it because of all his AltRight friends and the Neo-Nazi websites he browses: he's seeing it because of the response by major media pundits.

PayPal Co-Founder Peter Thiel to Address White Nationalist-Friendly “Property and Freedom Society” Conference in September


PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel, in the news recently for his role financing the Hulk Hogan lawsuit against Gawker, is scheduled to travel to Bodrum, Turkey, in September to address the annual meeting of the ultra-libertarian Property and Freedom Society.

Founded in 2006 by libertarian academic Hans-Hermann Hoppe, the Property and Freedom Society is dedicated to what it calls “uncompromising intellectual radicalism: for justly acquired private property, freedom of contract, freedom of association—which logically implies the right to not associate with, or to discriminate against—anyone in one’s personal and business relations—and unconditional free trade,” according to its website.

But beyond the libertarian academics, economists, and business leaders from across Europe and the U.S. who attend and speak at its conferences, the Property and Freedom Society has welcomed white nationalists, including several of the most prominent white nationalists in America.

The Society’s inaugural meeting featured Paul Gottfried, the American white nationalist who founded the H.L. Mencken Club, along with Tom Sunic, another white nationalist and an ex-Croatian diplomat who spends his time speaking at racist gatherings on both sides of the Atlantic. Sunic also serves as a director with the American Freedom Party, the most visible American white nationalist political party.

In 2013, the Society invited Jared Taylor, head of the New Century Foundation, which hosts the annual white nationalist American Renaissance conference, traditionally the largest annual racist gathering in the U.S. Taylor once wrote, "Blacks and whites are different. When blacks are left entirely to their own devices, Western civilization — any kind of civilization — disappears." In 2010, Richard Spencer, head of the white nationalist think tank National Policy Institute (NPI) spoke on the “Alternative Right in America,” long before the Alt-Right became the racist internet phenomenon it is today.

WELL DRESSED RACISM: AMERICAN RENAISSANCE RETURNS TO TENNESSEE
JANUARY 31, 2016

The modern racialist movement is defined by American Renaissance. It bridges both the organized racism of the past and the contemporary Alt Right, Human BioDiversity, Neoreaction, and other movements who believe themselves superior to the KKK. AmRen began in the early 1990s by Jared Taylor, a former West Coast editor for PC magazine and consultant to companies dealing with Japan. Taylor, raised in Japan before going to Yale and then to France for graduate school, is a very literate and well spoken man. His enunciation is important to him, so much so that he has developed an elitist accent that is just as artificial as his conference’s attempts at pedigree. He formed AmRen to give intellectual credibility to his growing racist ideas. He had already been making waves on the racist right when AmRen came into existence, publishing the book Paved With Good Intentions: The Failure of Race Relations in Contemporary America. Getting good reviews from people like Pat Buchanan, he launched AmRen as a conference and newsletter that would further disseminate racist views using pseudoacademics and reviving old bio-racial rhetoric.

Beginning in 1990, AmRen brought together a couple hundred racists to talk about…well…racism. What defined AmRen right from the beginning was really marginal ideas on bioscience that justified the notion that black people were inferior. Speakers often try to replicate academic discourse, yet their ideas are simply that black people have lower IQs, are prone to criminality, and all races have trouble trusting one another for biologically deterministic reasons. These conferences are also notable in the white nationalist community for its lack of anti-Semitism, though most of the conference attendees are only putting on a face for this event. Several Jewish speakers have been seen at AmRen, including the ultra-Orthodox Rabbi Mayer Schiller and Mark Levin. Both of them have been known for writing about IQ gaps and the need for traditional, racially static communities.

Over the years there have been speeches by controversial academics like J. Phillip Rushton, Richard Lynn, and Donald Templer, all of which quickly drop their veneer of respectable scholarship so that they can insult and degrade people of color. This is all in line with what in “Human BioDiversity” circles is often called the “Yellow Hypothesis.” This essentially revives a racial taxonomy and hierarchy, but one that shifts the dynamics slightly. In this view, according to their theories on innate IQ, Asians have the highest IQs, whites just below them, then Latinos far below that and African descended people scraping the bottom of the list along with Australian aborigines. This is what they use to refuse the label of “white supremacist,” but the dynamic is to suggest that Asians actually lack other qualities because of their high level IQs and therefore whites are essentially “just right.” Jews, according to this, actually have higher IQs than Asians, but the AmRen crowd usually save that part of their analysis until the conference is over. What some attendees, such as Professor Emeritus Kevin McDonald, suggest is that the high verbal intelligence that this crowd ascribes to Jews has actually made them a parasite that uses their intellect to manipulate Western men away from their ethnic interests. Though the general line-up of AmRen is certainly prone to conspiracy theories, this is a step too far for Taylor.

The focus on pseudoscience has really defined AmRen for almost two decades, yet in recent years there has been a shift. Over the last few renditions of the conference, all of which have been at the Montgomery Bell State Park outside of Nashville, they have shifted away from arguments about racial difference in biology and more in the direction of politics and culture. They have included many speakers from nationalist parties internationally, as well as many from the Alt Right that talk in vague platitudes in an attempt to revive racial Idealism and Romanticism. This change is largely because they did not see the resurgence in “white racial consciousness” that they were hoping for from their previous discourse about perceived racial difference. Taylor has been a bit slow off the mark, and because of the new focus on social media and streaming content, as well as the lower brow focus of modern post-Trump Alt Right, he has been the old man of the community. While others are trying to maximize this Trump moment, Taylor continues to drivel on about black crime with barely-coded insults to movements like Black Lives Matter.

The coming 2016 conference, which will be held on May 20-22(which is actually longer than most AmRen conferences), replicates this new trend in their programming, as well as returning to attempts at respectability. Similar to what you see in white nationalist conferences and organizations like the H.L. Mencken Club and the Council of Conservative Citizens, they always try to host speakers who are just on the edge of respectability. This was the case with people like the late Sam Francis and Joe Sobran, who were both on the edges of the beltway Conservative Movement.

The 2016 conference’s “headliner,” so to speak, is Peter Brimelow, who is exactly the kind of crossover point that AmRen uses to make itself relevant. Brimelow was a former writer for Forbes and a number of conservative publications, really known for writing about education and the “problem” of the teacher’s unions up through the 1990s. In 1995 he published his “magnum opus,” Alien Nation, a book that rallied against immigration and the need to tighten the borders. Brimelow himself was foreign born, a British immigrant, a point that is often lost on his supporters. He then founded the web publication VDare, which has become a meeting point for the far right who want to focus on immigration as their primary issue. He has slowly shifted out of the broad GOP crowd and into a racially focused community, speaking at other racist conferences like the H.L. Mencken Club and the National Policy Institute. His talk brings the conference back to one of their real forces of excitement: Donald Trump. Titled “The Trump Tsunami and the Future of the Historic American Nation,” Brimelow will continue the fawning appreciation for the billionaire just as most in the AmRen scene have. Jared Taylor recently voiced a robocall for Trump support in Iowa, funded by the neo-fascist American Freedom Party.

James Edwards is also on the line-up, a person who has not been as prominent over the last year or so of the growing white nationalist movement. He hosts the Political Cesspool, a white nationalist/populist radio show that is actually on a few AM stations beyond its large internet following. He is on the board for both the Council of Conservative Citizens and the American Freedom Party, and he spoke up in defense of the CofCC after the Dylan Roof shooting. The murderer mentioned the CofCC’s website, which obsessively focuses on what they falsely say are differences in black and white crime rates. He represents a lower-brow sensibility for the AmRen community, which is really summed up by his book Racism Schmacism.

Flemish nationalist Filip Dewinter will rant about the “Islamisation” of Europe, Ruuben Kaalep will give a plea for Estonian nationalism, and Dan Roodt will talk about “white survival” in post-Apartheid South Africa. This is part and parcel of the new AmRen: trying to create unity between white racists internationally. Here they often try to find common cause with white nationalist talking points in Europe, focusing largely on Syrian refugees and Islamic immigration.

RamZPaul will join the AmRen crowd, which he has in recent years, where he does a sort of “stand up routine.” This mainly consists of awkwardly timed jokes coming straight out of his popular YouTube videos. His comedic style is telling and has helped groups like The Right Stuff to focus on humor in their racism. He will discuss the Alt Right, which has been seeing a surge of media attention in recent months because of the entryism that Donald Trump has provided for them. This theme will be compounded with the inclusion of Uncuck the Right, a new YouTube “sensation” who does racist parody songs in the vein of The Right Stuff. “Uncuck” is a reference to the Cuckservative meme that the Alt Right recently popularized, referencing the idea that mainstream conservatives do not act in their own racial interests in terms of immigration. This also really shows AmRen begging to keep themselves relevant in the internet-only “shitlord” movement of angry white men.

Meet Milo Yiannopoulos, the Appealing Young Face of the Racist Alt-Right

Here’s why I’m disturbed by an auditorium full of young people chanting ‘cuck!’—and why you should be, too.

Image


Milo Yiannopoulos is a beast.

The 31-year-old, boastfully gay Breitbart writer—or “dangerous faggot”—has quickly become a hero to young conservatives and libertarians for smacking down the ridiculous out-of-control “social justice warriors” who troll college campuses.

If Donald Trump defies political correctness, Yiannopoulos—an avid Trump supporter prone to calling The Donald “daddy”—obliterates it.

A woman confronted Yiannopoulos during his speech in a packed American University auditorium last month, asking if his controversial rhetoric “invalidated” minority views.

“Fuck your feelings,” he told her.

The kids loved it. Me too.

How could you not? As the student left becomes insufferably extreme, Milo’s become the perfect counterpunch.

He’s irreverent. He’s exciting.

To an old guy like me—a whole decade Milo’s senior!—he’s punk rock.

“At 6’2, punctuated by a tall poof of bleached hair… his friends will tell you, he is always ‘on,’ whether he’s railing against the matriarchy, bragging about his own fabulousness or discussing his love of ‘black dick,” wrote Fusion last year.

He’s a middle finger to the establishment, left and right.

Slamming #NeverTrump Republicans last week, Yiannopoulos scolded the GOP for offending young Trump supporters like himself, “Unlike most right-wing writers, my biggest demographic is 18-34 year olds.”

“Those weren’t just any old voters you were alienating,” Milo said to anti-Trump Republicans. “They include the next generation of conservative firebrands, who are currently gravitating to Trump, the alt-right, and me.”

“The alt-right.”

There are worse things than political correctness.

***
In March, Yiannopoulos coauthored a 3,500-word piece for Breitbart called “An Establishment Conservative’s Guide To The Alt-Right.”

“Although initially small in number,” Yiannopoulos and Allum Bokhari explained, “the alt-right has a youthful energy and jarring, taboo-defying rhetoric that have boosted its membership and made it impossible to ignore.”

This movement is young, they do defy taboos and unfortunately, the alt-right has become impossible to ignore.

Because it’s racist.

I don’t mean “racist” like the left does, where merely being white and male is a sin.

I mean rationalizing that you’re intellectually or culturally superior because you’re white. I mean believing that black and brown people are less valuable to society and should be viewed with contempt.

I’ve never met Milo Yiannopoulos and am not really that concerned with whether he’s a racist or not. Such accusations are what the left does ad nauseam and part of what Yiannopoulos rightly fights against.

But I do think he flirts with racism: “The alt-right openly crack jokes about the Holocaust, loudly—albeit almost entirely satirical—expresses its horror at ‘race-mixing… They have no real problem with race-mixing…” writes Yiannopoulos.

I do think he opens windows that concern me: “Anything associated as closely with racism and bigotry as the alternative right will inevitably attract real racists and bigots,” admits Yiannopoulos. “The alt-right’s intellectuals would also argue that culture is inseparable from race,” he writes.

I know well where this kind of collectivist thinking can lead. (You can read at The Beast about my own “Southern Avenger” controversy).

I’ve spent the last eight years as part of the Ron and Rand Paul-inspired liberty movement, speaking to groups like Young Americans for Liberty (a few YAL local chapters have sponsored some Milo Yiannopoulos events). Today, YAL is the largest center-right youth group in America.

As an organization dedicated to individual liberty.

The alt-right is the polar opposite of libertarianism.

Analyzing a subset of the alt-right who call themselves “neoreactionaries,” Vox’s Dylan Matthews explains this important distinction, “Most modern libertarians are individualists, motivated by a desire to prevent the masses from oppressing the individual…

“Neoreactionaries are not individualists… neoreaction places huge value on group membership and group loyalty,” Matthews says.

“They are tribalists, and for the most part—let’s not mince words—they are racists.”

Ah yes, Dylan "Ban all firearms" Matthews. Always a fountain of insight, that boy. NRx has arch contempt for the Alt-Right.

Compare "they are tribalists" to the latest from Land:

Don’t be misled by the ambiguous escape at the end of Moon (2009). The movie as a whole makes the more far-reaching case. ‘Home’ is dead, and exists only as a simulation.

If it’s not obvious — after watching this excellent movie — why it explains the ‘Neo-‘ prefix in ‘Neoreaction’, I can’t help you. (Nothing can help you, in any case.)


Does this sound like a guy who found a tribe he identifies with?

If the Right succeeds at making anything out of the collapse of the reigning order, it will be because it has pacified its own fringe of lunatic activism. It’s far from clear that it’s capable of doing that. What is clear though, is that the Alt-Right tendency — taken generally — is not anywhere close to seriously trying. The idiots pretending to be your friends will hurt you far more than the idiots on the other side. Mere survival requires principled dissociation from anyone promoting crime and terror as political tactics. Violent criminality is not even slightly OK. (It’s questionable whether politics is even slightly OK.)

If “no enemies on the right” moderates condemnation of rabid animals, it’s a formula for political suicide.


NRx is too intellectual & pretentious for mere racism.

Anyone know if Anonymous Conservative and his Grand Theory of r/K selection and rabbits and amygdala and whatnot count as the Alt-Right? If so, then this has to be one of the most rigorously-intuitively interesting blog entries you'll ever read from the Alt-Right, right?

Rightwing 'lone wolves' kill more than Islamists acting alone, says report

Thinktank says far-right lone attacks present bigger threat despite media and public focus on Islamist extremists

Image
The report looked at attacks between 2000 and 2014, including that in Norway by Anders Breivik.

Sandra Laville
Wednesday 22 June 2016


Rightwing extremists kill and injure more people in lone wolf attacks than Islamist terrorists acting alone, according to a report by a security think tank.

The Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) in London says in its report Countering Lone Actor Terrorism that rightwing extremists across Europe present a substantial threat to the public that should not be overlooked.

It details the cases of 94 people who were killed and 260 who were injured in attacks by far-right terrorists acting on their own between the start of 2000 and the end of 2014.

In contrast, religiously inspired lone attacks killed 16 and injured 65 people.

The report, which is released in updated form on Wednesday, says: “Rightwing extremists represent a substantial aspect of the lone actor threat and must not be overlooked.”

It says that lone wolf extremists have been responsible for 98 plots and 72 attacks in 30 European countries including Norway and Switzerland in the period examined.

Security services say the lone wolf terrorist attack is one of the most difficult to detect and preempt. The RUSI report is the result of detailed examination of terrorist plots and attacks across Europe and is being constantly updated.

They include the killing of 77 and injuring of 242 people in Norway by Anders Breivik in July 2011 in shooting and bomb attacks fuelled by his rightwing views and belief in the Islamisation of Europe.

The report says the intense focus among the public and in the media on the danger from the Islamist terror threat is at odds with the reality of the threat posed by rightwing lone wolves.

They inflict a higher death toll and in percentage terms more of them are lone wolves, as opposed to motivated by organised terror groups, than religiously inspired terrorists.

“The media, and consequently public attention, is largely focused on violent Islamist extremists; while this may reflect the broader threat, it is at odds with that from lone actor terrorism,” the report says.

The research carried out by RUSI provides a database of lone wolf terror cases across Europe. RUSI said the overall objective was to see if it was possible to discern patterns or trends that could feed into recommendations for policy makers.

“Lone actor terrorists are perceived as presenting acute challenges for law enforcement practitioners in detection and disruption,” the report says. “By definition, they act without direct command and control from a wider network, and it is assumed that without such communications they may evade the ‘tripwires’ that would usually bring them to the attention of the authorities.”

It also states that lone wolf rightwing extremists are harder to detect than religiously inspired Islamist terrorists.

“It was established that 40% of rightwing extremists were uncovered by an element of chance, as part of an investigation into other offences or because the perpetrator accidentally detonated a device, drawing attention to his or her activities. Although chance was also evident in some examples of religiously inspired terrorism, overall 88% of interventions were intelligence-led, suggesting a clear disparity,” the report says.

RUSI also found that rightwing extremists were far less likely to talk about their activities, and were often discovered only after detonating a device or killing an individual. Islamist extremists, however, in 45% of cases talked about their inspiration and possible actions with family and friends.
“In contrast, only 18% of leakage by rightwing extremists was to this audience,” the report says.

Rightwingers are also found to be more likely to be socially isolated or suffer mental health problems than other lone wolf terrorists and more likely to “post telling indicators” on the internet.

ALTERNATIVE RIGHT, ANTI-FASCISM, KU KLUX KLAN, NEO-CONFEDERATE

HOW ARE RACISTS RESPONDING TO THE CHURCH SHOOTING AND CONFEDERATE FLAG CONTROVERSY?

No matter how the particular far right and neo-fascist movement sees itself, mass killings in the name of their racial agenda is always going to be bad news. Aryan Nations was a meeting spot for neo-Nazis, Klansmen, Christian Identity Adherents, and racist militia movements, and was completely undone after a passing family was attacked in front of their compound. White Aryan Resistance was financially undercut after associated skinheads murdered Ethiopian student Mulugeta Seraw in Portland, Oregon. Charges are often brought against associated organizations, and even if they are not formally indicted they certainly are put under the federal looking glass. This is the current state of the Council of Conservative Citizens who is having the FBI going through their materials with a fine toothcomb.

Beyond the hope that other ‘lone wolves’ will be inspired by the violence in a sort of “propaganda of the deed” dynamic, it undercuts their messaging in serious ways.

It must be incredibly depressing for you AD to see that their are so many contorted fucked up minds and souls in our midst.

I take comfort in the understanding that its their ride, and that I wont be expected to answer for them when my own meat sack expires.

Which is why it is probably more important to focus on ourselves.

Edited to add.

AD, A serious question....

Do you not believe that there are many people who believe that Brexit is a good thing, who don't have such an extremely distorted understanding of what most of us accept are true human values?

Because if you dont, then I believe youre missing a very important trick.

Blimey. 4B, that site is diary-wrecking, To Do list mulching fascinating - thank you so much so posting it. :sun:


Here, in light of this work, we have two groups and they are at war. One will reward effort, ability and determination, producing a successful, moral, loyal society, and a more evolved population through the rewarding of industriousness. The other will punish ability, effort, and determination, to reward lack of ability, no effort, and no determination. This will inevitably produce a society of incapable idiots, prone to failure and dependent upon the few producers whom they have enslaved. Once the debate is so couched, we can merely tell observers to feel free to pick a side. Our innately group conflict prone psychologies will take care of the rest.

Third, this work lays out the end game of the r-type psychology, and it’s purpose in nature – and in humans. As an r-type psychology, Liberalism is not some super-intellectual, ultra-compassionate psychology designed to produce a perfect utopia in which no one ever suffers. Indeed quite the opposite. It is a simple, biologically imbued psychology, designed to exploit conditions of free resources by fostering the reproduction of specimens which most aggressively satiate their basest urges, without contributing to the success of their society. Promiscuity, single parenting, early onset of first intercourse, and conflict and risk avoidance through cowardice. This is the society which Liberalism seeks to foster. Worse, it does it not for intellectual reasons, but out of a desire to satiate a simple, base, r-type biological urge.


Yeah, anonymousconservative looks like a real Fountainhead of wisdom. That's admittedly my hot and surface take on 'r/k selection'... but I'm just a dumb fucking commie.
