I think I speak for the 90% of Americans who wouldn’t know this guy if he were standing in line behind me at Home Depot.
Who cares? I also find it really odd that he could be recognized by everyone in some random ski resort, just walking into a room. The whole event sounds made up. |
Yep, we are all supposed to know who he is/was because the media needed a bogeyman. He was never actually noteworthy. |
The BBC is far-right-nonsense. They are not a credible news organization by any definition. They are just fascist mouthpieces. |
1) it’s sad that a member of the clergy engages in shadenfruede. Those remarks speak more ill of Rabbi Roston than Spencer. 2) OP clearly has a deep infatuation/crush on Richard Spencer. |
Quoted for the sheer hilarity of it. |
+1 never change DCUM |
I think educated monied people probably know who he is. Assume he was in a more expensive ski resort where he was already well known. If he walked into Massanutten or something, I doubt anyone would know who he was by sight. |
I would say people who pay attention to the news would know. I know the name, but not the face, but that's because I don't watch the news. I do read it, but I don't pay close attention to the pictures. |
No, we really don't. The people who would recognize him watch CNN all day because that is what is on in the lobby or waiting room. |
Admit you did not read the article. It answers why local people would know him. I love that Jason Kessler is finally having a day in court. I wonder what he’s been up to. I’d recognize them both, by the way. |
In a small town where he was stirring up a lot of Jewish hate and his mother was a long-time local business owner of course people recognized him. I guess you expect to do whatever the hell you want to do, bring together white pride marches that kill women, and then go about your life like it never happened? Doesn’t work like that. |
He lost so he wants amenity. Typical. Reminds me of the ‘good people’ who overran the Nation’s Capitol. Now that the man is essentially an outcast in his community, and rightfully so, he wants everybody to "move on". Spencer caused incredible conflict and rage not just throughout the United States but right there in Whitefish, Montana. Yet he doesn't want to be held responsible for it. You can bet that if things had gone differently and Trump was able to overthrow democracy, Spencer would have been doing interview after interview basking in perceived racial superiority. |
I’m educated and have a significant NW (mid-8 figures last year) and I wouldn’t recognize him if he was right in front of me. Nor would I care. |
