I think he's probably just a dumb kid ignorantly copying the people around him, but also agree with the comment above. Who knows these days? |
I've been doing some reading. The alt-right group is not racist, and includes includes participation by POC as well. They are a strongly nationalistic, far-right group, but certainly not made up of the neo-Nazis or KKK types. |
NP. Here are just a couple examples of this from the past year ... Longtime Neo-Nazi reveals he's gay, has Jewish heritage (October 2017) http://www.foxnews.com/world/2017/10/18/longtime-neo-nazi-reveals-hes-gay-has-jewish-heritage.html Neo-Nazi blog struggles after founder's wife is revealed to be Jewish (January 2017) http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/neo-nazi-blog-struggles-founder-wife-identified-jewish-article-1.2948308 |
The Anti-Defamation League disagrees with your assessment: https://www.adl.org/education/resources/backgrounders/from-alt-right-to-alt-lite-naming-the-hate |
Wow. You sure had to search high and low for examples. One is some dude from Britain, and the other has a Jewish wife. So you found a couple of outliers as you searched the globe. What I object to is this broad brush being used to paint Jews being part of these groups, as if that were a fairly common occurrence, You are perpetrating negative sentiment toward Jews by pulling out rare anomalies. |
Typed the wrong thing. Naturally the act-right is racist. They're made up of Nazis and KKK types. I was referring to the alt-lite, whom other posters are claiming that Jews join (with an isolated example or two). The alt-lite group, which I never heard of until 2 hours ago, includes POC in their ranks as well. They are not racist.....just strongly nationalistic, taken to the very extreme. |
Huh? No one painted a broad brush about Jewish Americans. The vast majority abhor DJT, the Alt Right, and voted for Clinton. This one intern - of a Jewish American background - made a white power hand gesture and then tried to use "...but but I'm Jewish!" excuse to paint himself as innocent. He's an idiot and should never had the privilege to work in the WH. It seriously calls into question the vetting procedures of this White House. Mike Peinovich, aka Mike Enoch, is one of the most prominent writers on the Alt Right. He was profiled in that NY Daily News link. He is probably 2nd only to Richard Spencer in terms of public notoriety. He's a very central character to the Alt Right movement and is very well known. So stop pretending like he's some unknown individual. |
| Why such insistence on claiming Jews are part of the alt-lite? Why not talk about blacks who also participate? |
Didn't something like 25% or 30% of Jewish people vote for Trump? Surely you're not accusing them all of sympathizing with neo-Nazis? just because they voted for Trump rather than Hillary? That's quite a scathing accusation. And I never heard of Mike Enoch. I have heard of Richard Spencer, of course. As unfathomable as it is to you, I am a conservative who has no ties to, and little knowledge of, the players in these hate groups. |
FYI: You're the only person in here equating a vote for DJT as a vote for neo-Nazis. I never said that and I don't believe it. I think DJT fooled a lot of gullible people. |
Except you said nobody is painting Jews with a broad brush (as far as affiliating with hate groups) because the majority of them abhor DJT and voted Clinton. My inference was that you were saying most Jews are not sympathetic to hate groups since most voted for Hillary. The implication seemed to be that those who voted for DJT, however, were the ones who are or could be among those horrible groups. If I misunderstood you, that's a relief.. |
Let me know when you see a black alt-lite intern flash a white power sign in a WH group photo. |
Blah blah blah. I didn't "search high and low" at all. I just recalled reading the tons of press about Mike Enoch (story #2) at the beginning of 2017, because Enoch is pretty big in that world and it was a pretty big story. When I searched for that story, I ran across the other one from October, and it also seems to have gotten lots of US press (including FoxNews apparently). The point is, it's not completely out of the ordinary for someone to support one of these alt-right hate memes, even if the person is part of the group that's hated. Jared and Invanka are Jewish, yet they are working for the Grand Dragon Trump himself. Same with a handful of others, including that Omarasa person until she got kicked out. It doesn't strike me as impossible at all that this kid is some far right asshole who flashed a Pepe sign, even if he's Jewish. |

Lots of black people flash the a-ok sign. And lots of white people. Lots of americans in general.
You're nuts. |
