Not sure why everyone keeps acting surprised & outraged at @jack for not doing anything about alt-right accounts & harassment

Maybe it's bc he fucking agrees w them

How many Peter Thiels & Musks is going to take for people to give up on the myth of liberal tech entrepreneur?
Here's a great book by @coreypein if you're interested to see what I mean

Omfg a friend of mine that works for the RNC just posted this on FB without a single shred of irony

"The story of Chile's success starts in the mid-1970s, when Chile's government abandoned socialism and started to implement economic reforms."

Yo @HellOfAWay you guys would love this shit👆
Like, the implicit argument behind this piece is that it's totally cool to murder thousands of people if it's done in the name of the free market.

Fucking insane

Ten years ago today PFC Daniel McGuire was KIA by enemy fire in Fallujah. I remember the 1st day he came to our company while we were in the mid of CAX. When we came in from field, I found him & his gear on my rack, I promptly chewed his ass & had him running laps around the hut
He was a super boot, having just graduated SOI & sent to us 1 month before we deployed, so naturally he was the target of a lot of jokes & light hazing. We all liked him a lot, he was the company's little brother. Been a decade & I still remember him clear as yesterday
Daniel was 19yo and 1 yr removed from high school. I wish I could say his death had meaning, that it was in service of a noble cause, but the fact that we still have Marines dying there 10 years later is testament to the wasted youth of our generation of service members

This is sadly very true and it starts at the very top. For years Marine generals have have created a pervasive culture of misogyny thru words & policy. Marine boot camp is only non-integrated one in DoD. Every other branch has figured it out, ONLY reason USMC hasn't is sexism
Marine generals have spent countless hours testifying before Congress about inferiority of women Marines. When forced to allow women in combat roles, the tests & quals for those roles became much tougher overnight
The term WM (women Marines) has been used for decades by leadership & has always been a subtle dig & attempt to keep them as an other, outside REAL Marine warrior culture. This is also the real reason behind the policy of non-integration at boot camp

This finding is based on an analysis of data provided to Hatewatch by the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI).

My home Congressional race has been targeted by trolls/bots & hackers. Dozens of fake FB accounts popped up impersonating known volunteers for the Dem. candidate. Thousands of Twitter bots & alt-right accounts have tweeted the same tweets word-for-word in seconds of each other.
They've made fake news articles against the Dem candidate go viral in a matter of seconds. It has been a stunning thing to watch. Our adversaries are hard at work.
I should add this is in a district considered safely R, yet the trolls are not taking any chances. No one should assume they're only targeting close races. The incumbent is a staunch advocate of ending the Mueller investigation.

So I RT'ed this @CountDankulaTV thread a few days ago and thought it over. (Peter Walker of the Guardian releases an as-expected hitpiece in regards to PJW, Sargon, and Dankula joining UKIP).
Article: archive.is/luNOc
Thread (worth reading in full)
Basically I just want to dissect this and break down what's going on. My first impression of Peter Walker coming off the wrong way when I first saw this thread 2 days ago hasn't gone away.

Something still strikes me as odd with Peter's argument.
To begin:
>let's look at the heart of Peter's defense. "Alt-right is a subjective term, feel free to disagree"
> But GOES ON TO SAY "I don’t paint myself as anything, beyond being a reporter."

^ Two key points central to @CountDankulaTV having the high ground in this argument.

@YesYoureRacist Libertarians have been involved in every step of the formation of the "alt-right". The origin of Libertarianism is closely associated with the "Old Right". (Many alt-right writers trace their roots to paleolibertarianism of Rothbard.)
@YesYoureRacist In the 80s, Koch brothers founded Citizens for a Sound Economy (tobacco lobbyist group and sponsor of early Tea Party events) and appointed Ron Paul as chairman. Tea Party name is from Ron Paul presidential campaign's "moneybomb" fundraiser on anniversary of Boston Tea Party.
@YesYoureRacist "Alternative right" came from the anti-neocon "paleoconservative" Right in attempt to steer things in a more libertarian direction, first coined by Paul Gottfried in 2008 at a white nationalist H.L. Mencken Club talk. Richard Spencer then launched the Alternative Right website.

Of all the things in that Follower Factory piece, this graphic stood out to me the most.
This is a plot of followers to an account in order of following on the x-axis and their Twitter join date on the y-axis.
Highlighted in red are the fake accounts created at the same time that all followed a user in close succession.

These were the fake, paid-for follows.
