    It’s handy that they have a paragraph heading called anti-semitism on that page.
    But given
    .... but I'd argue that it's more grounded in reality than other news sites. ..
    Can you clarify:- Is Anglin just trolling here or do you agree that
    It is now fully-documented that Jews are behind mass-immigration, feminism, the news media and Hollywood, pornography, the global banking system, global communism, the homosexual political agenda, the wars in the Middle East and virtually everything else the Alt-Right is opposed to. This is, to a shocking extent, simply admitted by the Jews themselves.

    As such, the only way to end these problems is to strike the root and remove the Jews from our societies.

    I suppose you can't respond if this isn't something you've previously considered. The ''irish men need feminism'' or Louise O'Neill threads thoroughly cover the idea.

    If you can identify a group of people who you believe are harmful to your society, then yes, it's logical to take action to remedy that situation.

    The Daily Stormer is a mock version of the Daily Beast. It's not supposed to be reputable, the views are satirical.

    Or at least I hope so.

    This is not acceptable for this forum. You made the claim. The onus is therefore on you to substantiate it.

    So Hitler had the right target – he just went a little too far?

    Or was what he did approximately the right thing?

    No, it wasn't. Here is the original post:
    Lots of division and strife. Victim fetishisation instead of actual progress toward a more accepting society.

    Do not discuss mod warnings on thread. Use the PM function.

    'SJWs' could encompass a number of people with a number of different causes. I am thinking specifically of self styled feminist campaigners.

    Yeah right, we get that. On and on with the fear of feminists.

    Its about the only ideology the alt right can really agree on isnt it?

    Actually, I said I didn't want to turn this thread into another thread about feminists-I've hardly gone ''on and on''.

    I couldn't say what the alt right think. I'm not ''alt right''. Someone who is already offered to discuss their philosophy but they were deemed to be a troll.

    For me personally I don't quite understand how I could fear feminists when I am a feminist. I spoke of a new type of feminism that I believe is divisive and I think it comes under the heading of ''SJWs''. There are different types of feminism.

    Doesn't this make YOU the one with the fear of feminists?

    They seem to broadly agree on other issues such as race and the environment. And The Donald, of course.

    Sometimes when people campaign for the rights of one group, they do so in a way that alienates people who aren't in that group.

    Well, yes - particularly those people with a vested interest in making sure the group doesn't get those rights. The shorthand for what you just described is "privilege", which is a word that many people - by an astonishing coincidence, mostly people who could usefully be considered privileged - would rather roll their eyes at and dismiss out of hand than actually stop and think about.

    Actually it alienates people on the same 'side' too. People with the same goals but a difference of opinion about how to achieve them. E.G Other feminists!

    And this is precisely why I didn't press the opinion but admitted that it's not an easy one to explain in a quick reply-it's the kind of statement that necessitates prologed exchanges and inevitably takes the thread away from the original topic.

    "Stop and think about" something that is a made up guilt trip by pseudo-intellectuals? No thanks.

    I grew up working class with an alcoholic father and now I do well for myself. The absolute audacity of some people to say I only made it to study law was because of my skin tone, and not my hard work, is absolutely infuriating. I will never take it seriously when someone brings it up, because they have no idea what it is to be me, but are going on their overwhelmingly upper middle class sheltered life lessons.

    In fairness, that person is explaining their reaction to what others say about them and their situation. Its not an assumption.

    Ah shure we'll just ship them off to Madagascar.

    Funnily enough, one alt-right drive-by poster claimed that the average Jewish IQ was a couple of standard deviations above that of white people. Shouldn't it thus follow under their worldview that the Jews deserve to be the "master race" of humanity?

    Looks like I've found two unicorns. That one has got to be down to my privilege.

    The definition of SJW is below:
    Social Justice Warrior. A pejorative term for an individual who repeatedly and vehemently engages in arguments on social justice on the Internet, often in a shallow or not well-thought-out way, for the purpose of raising their own personal reputation. A social justice warrior, or SJW, does not necessarily strongly believe all that they say, or even care about the groups they are fighting on behalf of. They typically repeat points from whoever is the most popular blogger or commenter of the moment, hoping that they will "get SJ points" and become popular in return. They are very sure to adopt stances that are "correct" in their social circle.

    The SJW's favorite activity of all is to dogpile. Their favorite websites to frequent are Livejournal and Tumblr. They do not have relevant favorite real-world places, because SJWs are primarily civil rights activists only online.

    The mess they created is the alt-right. No action without an equal and opposite reaction.

    That'll be the eye-rolling and dismissal I was talking about.

I will never take it seriously when someone brings it up, because they have no idea what it is to be me, but are going on their overwhelmingly upper middle class sheltered life lessons.
    I grew up working class poor, never went to college, and now I own a thriving business. I didn't say your success is down to your skin colour, so it's just as bloody infuriating for me when I mention privilege to have someone yell at me that privilege doesn't exist because they worked hard for what they have. It's like saying fish don't exist because apples grow on trees - it's a complete non-response to the issue.

    If you can identify a group of people who you believe are harmful to your society, then yes, it's logical to take action to remedy that situation.

    Surely there are other ways to deal with those you disagree with, or would you say they've already been tried and this is simply just the Final Solution?

    I don't really think the social justice warrior is real thing. It's a label used to dismiss people's point of view without having to apply an critical thinking.
    The mess they created is the alt-right. No action without an equal and opposite reaction.

    It's not an equal and opposite reaction. It's an overreaction to a problem that doesn't exist.
