Sure, but "alt-right" means something specific, and I was missing the jump of reason ... but this thread has gotten pretty heated, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised people were weirdly upset by what I thought was an innocent question.
Oh well, it's the internet, after all.
Alt right is pretty undefined imo.
It was started by a right winger who didn't want to be called far-right so he just called himself "alternative-right". It caught on but his views were still the same right wing views.
I guess people often use it to mean the more internet-savvy, meme-posting, trolling right wing. But they too dunk on LGBT people so even then I'm not sure why anybod would think it's not connected.
Fair enough, political definitions are rarely well-defined.
Yeah, that's how I understood it... Not really something Eich seems to do much.
Just because Eich has awful views doesn't give license to also be awful by throwing around random other accusations or connecting him with trolling skinheads. Remember, even the Nuremberg Trials had defense attorneys, so let's stick to the high road of justice, not the shitty cesspool that the far right wants to drag us into.
Lmao
Yeah I'm the bad one because I have no time for homophobic cunts who want to strip minority groups' rights away.
We get it, you hate anybody who isn't a straight white guy.
Bye bye, go simp for some far right twat to somebody else.
Hell doesn't exist you dipshit nazi. Fuck off and cry about gay people elsewhere.
Not wanting gay people to have fewer rights or be exterminated is woke? Ok nazi.
This post isn't about you, it's about Brendan Eich. Someone who donates money to causes that would see rights stripped away from LGBT people. And who also donated money to a politician who said he wants all gay people to die in a plague.
That's the kind of behaviour you're defending. But I get it. LGBT people are the untermensch in your eyes.
What political movement? There's only the political movement of those that want to strip rights away from and genocide LGBT people.
You're here defending someone who wants to see those people literally be exterminated.
You are a Nazi.
The conversation isn't about you, it's about Eich.
The existence of gay, bisexual, and trans people isn't political lobbying.
You know what is political? That some people want to genocide these people. Those people are Nazis.
