Interesting...White liberals are significantly more likely to have heard of the term 'Alt-Right' than moderates and conservatives
@georgehawleyUA might interest you as well.
And here are the results by generation
Additionally, only a minority of Whites have ever heard of the term 'redpill', with no significant differences across ideology. Unsurprisingly, the younger White age groups are more familiar with the term than their parents/grandparents.

1/n There's been some policy discussion of late in response to the fact that Hispanic and Black students are suspended at higher rates than Whites. Some have proposed a measure that would prevent such disparities, thereby enforcing an 'equality of suspension'. Before I argue...
2/n ...that such an initiative is both wrongheaded and counter-productive (to the extent that it would likely harm the learning environment of the 'behaved'), I first present some survey data of attitudes towards this issue and the policy itself.
3/n The only data I could find is limited to young (18-34) Americans, so just bear that in mind. The first thing to note are some disparities by race and party with respect to the source of the problem. Whites and Asians, for instance, are more likely to attribute the...

1/3 Asked what they'd do if they saw a family struggle to illegally cross the border from Mexico into the US, a majority of Democrats/Liberals polled in 2012 said they'd 'help them' or 'look away' while a majority of Republicans/Conservatives said they'd 'report them'.
2/n Given that positive feelings towards illegal immigrants among Democrats/Liberals reached an all-time high in 2016, I suspect the proportion of 'help them' responses is likely even larger today
3/3 So what would you do?

1/n Who is most likely to attribute racial inequality to genetic differences in intellectual ability (which many would call 'old fashioned racism')? While you wouldn't be faulted for guessing 'white people', you'd be wrong. In fact, according to the GSS, whites are no more...
2/n likely to give this response than hispanics and blacks (and even appear to be less likely in recent years). So who's the biggest offender? In the aggregate, and across time, it appears to be Asians (caveat at the end).
3/n Specifically, controlling for a host of demographic variables and a meaure of verbal reasoning (which is typically negatively correlated with giving a 'genetic' response), Asians (OR=3.19; p < 0.001) are over 3x more likely to attribute racial inequality to genetic diffs.

White liberals, I need to tell you something.

I know you feel embattled right now, and I know you feel that you badly need—psychologically as well as politically—a blue wave win.

I want to caution you against letting your desperation lower your standards of justice, okay?
Because you desperately NEED a win...

...you are in a position to do great harm to marginalized groups.

If you hail anything as a “great win” at this point, you’re going to be sending a message of contentment.

There are no great wins while kids are in cages.
Maybe, just maybe, there will be a slight turning of the tide today.

But even if the blue wave is successful like your wildest dreams, this is not the beginning of the end.

It isn’t even the end of the beginning.

Violent, blatant injustice, and oppression are older than that.

I know what you might be thinking. "Isn't it quite odd to link Comicsgate to Brexit, Trump, and the alt-right? It's just comics!" No, actually it isn't and JAM is on target here.
Truth be told, Comicsgate's direct predecessor, Gamergate provided the absolute best return for the alt-right in once again getting their reactionary and bigoted views into the marketplace to gain wide acceptance amongst disgruntled white and white-passing American men.

1) I’m amused to see @JonahNRO scrambling for higher ground amid the insane tide of nutjob conspiracism that has overtaken the Right in the age of Trump. Amused, because Goldberg had no small role in conjuring up that tide, and still does. Thread follows.

2) In addition to his role as editor of National Review’s online presence, Goldberg also has been living, ideologically speaking, from his book written a decade ago, ‘Liberal Fascism.’ I had a brief to-and-fro with him regarding its veracity at the time:

3) I also organized a group of historians who actually specialize in fascism and put their essays together in a project at History News Network, to which Goldberg also responded (see links to all pieces at bottom of this intro):

Here's a look into the Alt-Right community on @facebook. Alt-Right Alliance, a private group, and The Libertarian to Alt-Right Pipeline, a public page, both sharing white-nationalist, anti-semitic, anti-globalist, and far-right cultural content. Pulling back the curtain. 1/
The branding of both of these communities is a blend Gen X culture with current/former public figures. Trump, Farage in Warhammer gear, and Pinochet, Hans-Hermann Hoppe on top of 80's design features. In general, whether its Magic Cards or neon colors, the retro touch is common2/
Alt-Right Alliance members frequent share content from "Name the Jew". This site is dedicated to identifying Jewish public figures and denying the Holocaust. "Name the Jew" has a Gab.ai page and Twitter account w 7000 followers. The site was started in 2018. 3/

It’s so funny and ironic how #liberals call #RadicalFeminism “#WhiteFeminism”, yet, I’ve come across so much actual #racism directed at me and other #GenderCritical black women from self-righteous #trans activists/allies and libfems. 🙄
I’ve gotten more racism from that crowd in the past two weeks than I’ve gotten from any #RadicalFeminists in two months. Or any amount of time. Liberals routinely erase the radical #WomenOfColor from history who either called themselves #radfems or influenced radical feminism so
that they can call radical feminism “white”, misappropriate #Intersectionality from #BlackFeminism to try and justify including males in #feminism, argue that “transwomen are women the same way Black women are women”, (racist and dehumanizing comparison of black women to males),

BTW, I try to ignore anti-Semitic trolls, but I am deeply concerned by their proliferation. Canary, coal mines, some assembly required.
What I mean is that anti-Semitism is the bellwether of societal paranoia, a fear-based reaction to the loss of cultural coherence.
Confident, optimistic people who have faith in a better future do not surrender to the scapegoating paranoia of anti-Semitism.
