I have noticed that this seems to be an attribute of some people whom I take to represent this "alt-right" thing that i've been hearing about.
I've read numerous articles/statements from people who seem otherwise reasonable, and the next thing you know they have veered over into anti-Jewish anti-Zionist rhetoric.
I do not understand this pathology. For some reason they seem as though they have this irrational need to blame Jews for everything.
What is wrong with these people? From where did they get these ideas?
Antisemitic comments are designed to shut down the alt-right.
libertarian27 – are you saying they are all trolls / agitprop – people only “pretending” to be part of the alt-right in order to discredit the alt-right?
I really don’t think so. It is both naive and very dangerous to dismiss that there is a very vocal and growing segment of the “alt-right” who are anti-Semites and are sincerely Neo-Nazi’s - Storm Front types. Even Trump’s Twitter feed is infested with them and I don’t understand why he doesn’t block them.
And they are getting more vocal and open about it; some, it could appear even here.
Huck: Racialism is a fundamental part of the alt-right. Jews are begging for trouble, as usual. Sure, the left hates Jews. Who doesn’t? Meanwhile, take a look at the MSM, the Never-Trumpers, etc. Jews aplenty.
Huck – perhaps I am misunderstanding your posts, but perhaps you might clarify - are you for the alt-right’s anti-Semitism or against it or are you just ambivalent to it?
It is one thing to point out and stand up against anti-white racism, i.e. the BLM movement, Islamic extremism and “political correctness” the SJW’s, but those on the “alt-right” who veer into anti-Semitism and White Supremacy, those who’s social media and Twitter feeds praise Hitler and deny the Holocaust and blame every societal and political ill on “The Filthy Jews” - they should have no place in the Conservative movement (or IMO on FR) or in the “alt-right” unless that is really what the “alt-right” is about. And FWIW I don’t see many on the alt-right calling these neo-nazi types out. If that is the face of the “new” GOP or the new “conservative” movement, I want no part of it.
We need to call them out and rebuke them just as we should call it out the same on the left.
