Video surfaces of Milo Yiannopoulos defending pedophilia

He did have Larry Wilmore on that same show who told Milo to go fuck himself a few times. Anything Wilmore agrees to I can get behind. I still can't believe CC cancelled his show. It was the best. But he agreed to go on Maher's gig. I only watched it because I wanted to see Larry again.

Alt-Right Facts

CPAC invented an alternate history of the alt-right to justify Steve Bannon’s invite.


White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus and White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon arrive onstage during the Conservative Political Action Conference on Thursday.

CPAC, the country’s largest annual conservative gathering, has long drawn energy from young people who are resentful about liberal hegemony on college campuses. Now, however, it’s flailing as it tries to establish its own moral boundaries on right-wing speech. Its trouble started when Matt Schlapp, CPAC’s chairman, invited professional troll Milo Yiannopoulos to give a keynote address, sparking a furious backlash from traditional conservatives, who dug up statements by Yiannopoulos justifying man-boy sex. That ultimately led to Yiannopoulos losing his book deal, as well as his CPAC slot, and resigning from his job at Breitbart. In the aftermath, CPAC is trying to distance itself from the alt-right. Yet top Trump aide Steve Bannon, who once boasted that his website, Breitbart, was the “platform of the alt-right,” still had a prime Thursday afternoon speaking slot. And many young people in attendance reveled in the alt-right’s rebellious frisson of fascism.

Shortly after the conference began on Thursday, Dan Schneider, executive director of the American Conservative Union—the group that puts on CPAC—gave a speech denouncing the alt-right as left-wing infiltrators. “There is a sinister organization that is trying to worm its way into our ranks,” he said, arguing that the term “alt-right” had been “hijacked” by a “hate-filled left-wing fascist group.”

Schneider referred specifically to the conference in November where Spencer, standing before a giddy crowd of clean-cut racists, gave a Nazi salute and said, “Heil Trump, heil our people, heil victory!” Schneider’s argument was similar to the one Jonah Goldberg made in his risible book Liberal Fascism: Fascists are inherently left-wing because they believe in government power. (Apparently this is true even when they’re hailing the government power to crush the left.) “Hateful left-wing fascists are not like anybody here,” Schneider said.

Even if you accept his absurd framing, what he said was wrong. Spencer himself—who, far from hijacking the term alt-right, actually coined it—was there watching from a seat near the stage. And it was clear that there were fellow travelers in the crowd. “There are lots of people here that I know,” Spencer told me after Schneider’s speech. Soon he was mobbed by journalists as well as by eager young conference goers who wanted to pose with him for selfies. One young man called out “Praise Kek!”—an alt-right in-joke. A guy named J.P. Sheehan pulled a T-shirt saying RADIX—the name of Spencer’s online journal—out of his bag, happily flashing it toward Spencer. “I know a lot of people are afraid of him, but Richard Spencer is like, the coolest guy,” he said.

Sheehan, who wore a black MAGA hat, told me that he’s president of the College Republicans at a state school in New England. (I agreed not to name it.) Schneider’s speech denouncing the alt-right had not impressed him. “It kind of reminded me of those ’80s teen comedies with the assistant principal who’s like”—here Sheehan did a parody of a stern, hectoring voice—“ ‘Rules and regulations! You crazy kids!’ ”

Sheehan, 26, says he voted for Obama twice, but as Obama’s presidency progressed, he came to feel like minorities had become emboldened at his expense. He realized, he said, “This actually isn’t in my best interest, and I can do better for myself.” Eventually, Sheehan came to see his whiteness as a source of meaning. “The thing about racial identity and ethnic heritage is that it’s like your shadow,” he said. “It’s going to be with you everywhere you go, but it reminds you that the sun is shining on you. People think the alt-right is just simply about being mean to other people. It’s really not. The alt-right is simply identity politics for white people.”

This, he insisted, has great appeal among many of the young people at CPAC. “Young people especially identify with the alt-right because the alt-right says: You’re right,” Sheehan said. “All that consumerist culture that you are being bombarded with, all of that stuff that the mainstream media or cultural Marxists or your Marxist professor says, they do hurt your spirit after a while. They do make you feel spiritually fatigued, and there is a way out of it, and it’s been under your nose the whole time.”

A few moments later, with Spencer still thronged by reporters, conference honchos Schlapp and Schneider walked by. They seemed disconcerted by all the attention Spencer was getting. “We made it very clear that we don’t believe that the alt-right is a legitimate voice of the conservative movement,” Schlapp said. “We basically opened up our conference with that point of view.” If that’s the case, I asked, why did they invite Bannon, who described the website he used to run as the platform of the alt-right? “He has not said that,” said Schlapp. I insisted he has.

I think Schneider realized I was right, because he repeated the claim from his speech that “alt-right” used to mean something else. “There’s this sinister group that has hijacked the term,” he told me.

“The term was coined by Richard Spencer, who’s right there!” I replied.

“The term has been used for several years,” Schneider insisted. It has indeed, as one could learn by reading a laudatory piece about the alt-right that Yiannopoulos wrote for Breitbart last year—when Bannon was still running it. “The media empire of the modern-day alternative right coalesced around Richard Spencer during his editorship of Taki’s Magazine,” wrote Yiannopoulos. “In 2010, Spencer founded AlternativeRight.com, which would become a center of alt-right thought.” Was Schneider arguing that the term predated that? He deflected, “Do you know who Steve Bannon hired to run Breitbart? A Jewish man. And how about who he hired to run London Breitbart? A Muslim man.”

Actually, Raheem Kassam, the editor-in-chief of Breitbart London, is a far-right ex-Muslim. He’s written that people who look like he does should be racially profiled: “Why in heaven’s name should Israeli or American security be concerned with what John Smith is doing in their country, when the most virulent threat emerges from people who look and sound like me?” He’s speaking at CPAC on Friday.

Not long after we spoke, Schneider and Schlapp evidently decided they’d had enough, and Spencer was tossed out. After O’Mailia followed Spencer to the door, I asked him if he thought there was an alt-right subculture at CPAC. “Yeah, I think there is,” he said. “Definitely. It’s kept hidden, because it’s not what the elites in the Republican Party want to talk about. At the end of the day, politics is about winning votes, and someone who talks about ethnic cleansing isn’t exactly a person who would bring in the votes for a large group of people where we need it.” You can say this for the alt-right: At least they’re honest.

CPAC Day One: Another Conference, Another Ejection for Dick Spencer As Organizers Brand So-Called ‘Alt-Right’ as ‘Left Wing’

February 23, 2017 Idavox


Dick Spencer, just before he was asked to leave CPAC.

We start our CPAC coverage with Dick Spencer getting removed, which is the second time in less than a week, from another conference! Props to CPAC for doing so, but about calling the alt-right “left wing”, nice try.

Less than an hour after the Executive Director of the American Conservative Union (ACU) declared that the neo-Fascists that call themselves the “Alt-Right” were a left wing group, the one who had famously made the term popular was ejected from the ACU’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on its first full day.

Richard Spencer, the Executive Director of the White Supremacist National Policy Institute was asked to surrender his CPAC credentials and leave the Gaylord Resort and Hotel where CPAC was being held, a security guard physically removing them from around his neck. For 45 minutes prior Spencer drew a crowd of media and other CPAC attendees who peppered him with questions.

Spencer, who just last week was similarly ejected from a Libertarian conference last weekend, was in the hallway outside the Potomac Ballroom, CPAC’s main room, and was speaking to the growing crowd who peppered him with questions about what he believed and some just walking up to curse him. He also met with fans such as JP Sheehan, President of the College Republicans of Western Connecticut State University, who flagged him down in the hallway by sporting a T-Shirt for NPI’s blog Radix. At one point ACU Executive Director Dan Schneider and ACU Chairman Matt Schlapp came out to draw press attention away from Spencer, who intitally was going to be allowed to remain at the conference. “This is America,” Schlapp told reporters, “and we have to deal with the laws and, you know, all I can tell you is that if he had comments we’d agree with, he’d be on our stage, but he’s not on our stage.” Schlapp made headlines when earlier this week he invited then disinvited former Breitbart editor and neo-Fascist Milo Yiannopoulos from speaking at CPAC after his long-known remarks defending pedophilia came to light. Eventually, Spencer was approached by hotel security and told he was unwelcome at CPAC and was escorted from the building, his credentials revoked.

One of the more embarrassing moments happened when Spencer, when confronted by some young CPAC attendees about rock music that Spencer wouldn’t bite. “Depeche Mode is the official band of the alt-right,” he said, smiling. Almost immediately, a spokesperson for the band known for hits like the anti-racist “People Are People” and who’s lead singer Dave Gahan recently compared Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler, dismissed the claim in an email to Esquire Magazine.“That’s pretty ridiculous,” the email read. “Depeche Mode has no ties to Richard Spencer or the alt right and does not support the alt right movement.”

Prior to Spencer being ejected, Schneider addressed the CPAC attendees from the stage and suggested the so-called “alt-right” was actually created by the left. “Just a few years ago, this hate-filled left-wing fascist group hijacked the very term ‘alt-right,'” Schneider told the crowd. “They did it intentionally because they want to deceive the media, they want to deceive you all about what they stand for, so they can try to become normalized, and we must not allow them to be normalized. They are not part of us!”

The term “alternative right” was first coined by neo-Fascist college professor Paul Gottfried in a speech at the 2008 conference for his H.L. Mencken Club. Spencer, an associate of Gottfried at the time, adopted the term and used it as the title of his blog two years later. CPAC’s own associations with what would eventually be called the “alt-right” were apparent with groups like the White Nationalist Youth for Western Civilization having their inaugural event at the 2009 conference, White Supremacist Peter Brimelow’s website VDARE having a prominent booth for several years at CPAC and Breitbart being a major sponsor, the former CEO and current Trump Administration advisor Steve Bannon once declaring that the conservative website was the “platform of the alt-right” and Yiannopoulos even writing a glowing article about the alt-right for Breitbart. Bannon’s appearance at CPAC on Thursday was the first time since August when he was tapped to join Donald Trump’s presidential campaign that he has addressed a public audience.

Tomorrow, Former UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage who spearheaded the successful Brexit campaign to divorce the United Kingdom from the European Union who is very popular with the alt-right is scheduled to speak.

Holy fuck that "speech" is crazy. It is a cult. It's like watching Benny Hinn "heal" people on his stage.

Also, apparently CNN has been barred from The White House. Just broke I guess so I couldn't find a link quite yet.

How Stephen Bannon Made Milo Dangerous

February 23, 2017 Keegan Hankes

“Breitbart is a company staffed almost entirely by Jews,” said Milo Yiannopolous last November when asked about accusations of anti-Semitism made against his former boss, Stephen Bannon. “I am a gay Jew, and he made me into a star.”

In the past, Bannon and Yiannopolous were closely aligned. During Bannon’s tenure as executive chair of Breitbart News he hosted Yiannopolous — once the site’s senior tech editor — at least 20 times while anchoring the Breitbart Daily News satellite radio show.

During those appearances, Bannon repeatedly lavished praise on Yiannopoulos, comparing his courage to that of Winston Churchill and his provocative commentary to that of Breitbart’s late founder, Andrew Breitbart. Bannon also lauded Yiannopolous as “one of the leading voices of his generation in this whole fight against cultural Marxism, the defense of Western Civilization.”

Both “cultural Marxism” and “western civilization” are terms frequently used by white nationalists to soften the racism and xenophobia at the heart of their ideology.

I'd never heard of this Yiannopoulos guy until he came up on RI and I never saw or heard him speak until today when I watched the "Fuck your feelings" video that Barracuda posted. Yiannopoulos has that British accent that so charms many Americans, who associate it with a kind of "classy" erudition and authoritative Old World wisdom, and reflects that noble and enviable British confidence. "Off with you then...."

Would Yiannopoulos—or David Icke—have gained such followings if they spoke with rural Tennessee accents?

[82_28]

That is a great observation, Elvis. Indeed.

[American Dream]

Yeah, I never heard of Third Positionism, the Alt Right, Nazi Hippies, Hipster Nazis, Post-Third Positionism, National Bolshevism, National Anarchism, or any of the rest of that shite till I came to R.I., which is a bit sad for R.I., because I never needed to know about any of that shite before I came here.

[Elvis]

I don't need to be alerted to fascism. I was a Bircher watcher in 1970, my study of the far right began 50 years ago. The first serious book I was given, at age 12, was Shirer's The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. My seventh grade final Social Studies paper was on McCarthyism (got an A+). An eighth grade teacher scolded me in class for suggesting that fascism could one day come to the United States. My library has books about the Right that you've never read. However all that may be, in general I have neither the time nor the inclination to study the far right in the excruciating, minute detail that some do, but it needs to be done and I'm glad they're doing it.

That is a laughably pathetic lie, bud. Your interests predate your participation at RI by your own account.

Trying to frame your interests as something we did to you is ... sad. Sad and stupid.

Seriously guys - your time would be better spent with loved ones - cherishing the time you have left with them - before the shitstorm comes. We're going to need at least some calm heads as the cracks get bigger.
That comment by AD just above has to be the funniest thing I've ever seen here. I had no idea he is a comedian. Bravo, mate. New respect for ya.

I thought AD was being sarcastic—speaking in the voice of someone who was unaware of fascism until they found RI (and AD's numerous threads about it), someone who, despite having this wealth of knowledge at their fingertips, still just doesn't care enough.
