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.
But that was just the beginning of the outrage. Rogan went on to press Yiannopoulos further on the subject of pedophilia. He asked if Milo had ever hung out at any of X-Men director Bryan Singer’s alleged parties. This is where the exchange got really sick. Yiannopoulos started talking, at length, about parties he’d been to in Hollywood — parties where the media elite engaged in unprotected sex with underage boys. Every time Rogan asked him to name names, Milo deferred, saying that he “practices discretion.” This is the same Milo who, at his college speeches, singles out students in the audience in order to ridicule them in front of his adoring fans, the same man who says transgendered women should not be allowed in the restrooms comporting with their gender identity, knowing full well he’s exposing them to further victimization. This same man was claiming to practice discretion for pedophiles who also happen to be powerful Hollywood executives. Milo, who has such a bad poker face, couldn’t hide the fact that he was gloating about the sense of privilege he feels to be welcomed into the company of these elite creeps.

But 'kek' is still 'lol'. So the definition in the glossary is correct but there is an error in the origin. Makes me lose all faith in the glossary. Or are you going to suggest we go to 8chan to check it out for ourselves?

Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray's case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the "wet streets cause rain" stories. Paper's full of them.
In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.

Just to be perfectly clear, I don't write off entire outlets. OTOH, I am critical of individual writers. If they say something I know isn't true, I'm going to be skeptical of their other claims.
Maybe I'm too pessimistic, but I'd rather be pleasantly surprised than led astray. Especially considering the media's proven dishonesty during the last election.
Another mistake in the Buzzfeed glossary is saying that Discord is for "far right groups", it's just an IM/Voice chat app for gamers. So yes there would be a presence of far right people, but there's also a far left (for example, Communist) presence on the site as well, same goes for moderates or even apolitical people. Buzzfeed (like much of the media these days) seems to have a knee-jerk reaction to certain new platforms for communication or activities and are prone to start moral panics. This isn't anything new, the Christians back in the 80s made a big deal about how the local D & D dungeonmasters would turn your teenagers into Satanist Liberals, the left is capable of this same fearmongering.

As you can see, the Alt-Right is a heterogenous group with many varying opinions. For example, some oppose abortion because it gives women a choice, while others support abortion because they support eugenics and aborting "defective" or non-white fetuses. Both groups agree that women should not be allowed to make the choice whether or not to abort the fetus they are carrying, so there is still some common ground that they can agree on.
Yes, I know that this sounds like the old joke (possibly from cyanide and happiness, though I can't be certain) but no opinion is too "evil" or "stupid" for the Alt-Right.
The Daily Stormer was designed to appeal to teenagers, but I have long thought that we needed to get pre-teens involved in the movement. At that age, you can really brainwash someone easily. Anyone who accepts Nazism at the age of 10 or 11 is going to be a Nazi for life.

Killing Pepe was probably a mistake honestly, it just seems like giving up and letting them win some feel good points.

Killing Pepe was the artist making sure that everyone know that they do not support Alt-Nazis. And now when the Alt-Nazis use Pepe the artist can go "that character is dead, I no longer draw it."
This is like if you had invented Captain America and then someone rewrote him into being a Nazi. Even if you can't stop people from using the character like that you would like to make sure that everyone knows that you did not intend to make a character who supports National socialism.
I'd have just sued them for copyright infringement.

Lawsuit.
Lawsuit.
Eh, Garrison's got a point. Pepe's taken on a life of its own independent of Furie, so any "Pepe is dead" gestures on its creator's part aren't really relevant to the broader use of the character, however much Furie might dislike that use.

To which I reiterate: lawsuit. They are using his intellectual property without his permission, he is legally capable of seeking damages from any infringing party he chooses. You'd be surprised how fast touching someone's money gets their attention.
But they've been doing that for years now, and (at least under US law, so far as I understand it), if you don't actively defend your copyright, you're considered to have forfeited it.

Good luck. Trying to tell 4chan what they can't do is like trying to herd cats. Cats that have malicious senses of humor and a serious case of misanthropy.
Note that Garrison was quick to call his lawyers when 4chan were messing with *his* art. Now he's been seduced by the alt-right, he has no problem with messing with other people's.
It's not possible for white people to be racist...because then it's called patriotism...

These days a bodyslam is not a big deal. It's barely even a transitional move. Would have been fun if he followed it up with the People's Elbow though.
Still a physical assault unless the reporter faked it. (Seeing other news sources have reported seeing the incident I find that unlikely.)

The keyword here is "proper". He is technically right if he means the wrestling move where the victim throws themselves to the ground as dramatically as possible. In this case, it means grabbing someone by the neck and pushing them to the ground but that doesn't suit his narrative of the liberal media exaggerating an innocent right wing nutjob's violent outburst.
Nice attempt at distracting from the fact that the witnesses also say that the representative went on to punch the reporter several times when he was on the ground which gives some context about how violent the initial contact probably was no matter what you want to call it. What seems to matter more to you is that the witnesses might have used slightly inaccurate language to describe his actions.
I'll stop feeding the troll now. It gets boring fast.
