Twitter Initiates Mass Purge Of Prominent Alt-Right Accounts Following Trump Victory (War!)
Daily Caller ^ | November 15, 2016 | JONAH BENNETT, NATIONAL SECURITY/FOREIGN POLICY REPORTER

Posted on 11/15/2016 9:54:57 PM PST by Az Joe

Twitter has initiated a major purge of prominent accounts associated with the alt-right exactly a week after GOP President-elect Donald Trump’s stunning electoral victory.

One of the first and most prominent accounts caught up in the deletion is Richard Spencer, president and director of the National Policy Institute, an alt-right think tank focused on white identity and related policy issues.

Okay - I was right - Milo Yiannopoulos is considered “alt-right”. My kids listen to “screamo” Christian music, and follow this guy on Twitter. A different style and medium to get the message across. Rather than dismissing it - we need to use it.

All of this is exactly what took place when Trump was only a candidate.

He not only overcame it.. he used it to build his popularity.

I believe the same is about to occur AGAIN.

Yes and also anyone using the "c" word is getting booted. Which is funny because PRIOR to the election many leftists used it constantly but strangely they don't get booted BUT they now have no tweets in their histories with the "c" word in it...

Strange that...

",Alt-Right’ was invented by the left. Wish Daily Caller would stop perpetuating it."

So was Deplorables, but THAT blew up in their faces. Trump supporters took it and ran with it.

“...stop using the Leftist dogs (NY SLIMES, NSNBC, CNN, etc)”

I’m not sure why articles from those lying leftist rags are still allowed here. It’s actually insulting to me that FR is being used to drive eyeballs to their sites.

I alert on them to the mods. There is no good reason to have them on here. ESPECIALLY after the sleigh ride they tried to take America on this election.

Exactly.

Why are we accepting this name calling bullshit? ALT-RIGHT?


A term I’d never heard until Hillary’s campaign used it.

Never heard of any of these people or groups. Wonder if facebook, Twitter, etc. will ban MoveOn.Org, Media Matters, BLM, and other leftist, racist organizations - aka “Ult-Left”.

Thanks.

I know who Milo is.

However, I don't recognize any of the other names I've seen.

For me, the “leftist rags” are like military satellite imagery.

If you don’t know what your political enemies are up to, it’s much harder to defend yourself, and much harder to attack.

Maybe if I knew what "alt right" is I could understand what the big deal is.

Liberalism is becoming the INGSOC that Orwell warned us about. Right down to inventing "Newspeak".

“For me, the “leftist rags” are like military satellite imagery.”

That’s one way to look at it, but what good is that intel, when 99% of it is Grade A bullshit and propaganda?

I prefer honest, unbiased reporting, and well reasoned editorials.

Alt right was around as a term for a while. Hillary seized upon it as a negative label to put on people, but it pre-dated the primary season.

I saw the term during the #GamerGate controversy. Alt-right is anti-feminist, anti-SJW, and more “in your face” than the old “National Review” right Establishment.

I wasn’t sure what it meant so I changed it to GaltRight on my tagline. Works for me.

Trump WILL somehow use all this Twitter-FB crap to his advantage. And it’ll be fun to watch.

Buy more popcorn!

A lot of people are using minds.com now to avoid Twitter.

That’s what my leftist father-in-law always used to say when when he tried to get me to listen to Obama’s BS. He said “how are you going to really know the truth if you refuse to listen to what the other side is saying?”.

I said “nice try pops, everything that comes out of Obama’s mouth is a lie and you can’t learn the truth from listening to lies”.

If I want to read or hear liberal talking points, I have no trouble finding MSM outlets - they’re all around us. I come to FR or sme sanity and relief from the bombardment of liberal lies and talking points.
