Still working my way through it, but this is a pretty sweet article about Breitbart, Bannon, Milo, and how they channel white nationalists and nazis into their work (with dozens of leaked emails)

My favorite part is how Milo uh *squints* owns the libs by having anti-semitic email passwords.

The tl;dr is strong with this one.

Don't think anyone is going to be surprised by proof that Milo/Bannon/etc and the alt-right were on the same page as neo-nazis/white supremacists/etc.

It's just exhausting to read about them at this point.

Eh, sorry. Reading it on and off during my work day because I wanted to give it more than a skim. Was going to post a response when I got home later.

Far right groups under the banner of the so-called 'alt right' are using psychological warfare techniques learnt from leaked NATO and British intelligence documents to spread white supremacism across the world, according to a new report.

... activists are "weaponising internet culture"

" ... this included memetic warfare albums such as ‘normie memes’, and psychological operations resources, such as a ‘step by step how to manipulate narratives’ that links to GCHQ online deception and disruption playbooks,” according to the authors.

The authors warn that the tactics used by the far-right are “more reminiscent of state-led psychological operations than that of terrorist groups” and urge policy makers, technology companies, practitioners and activists to adopt counter-strategies that match the sophistication of the far-right.

SPLC says ... which organize “troll storms” of abuse towards political opponents, and spread racist memes to mobilize support.

"It’s clear that more and more of these people are operating only on the internet, except when the moment comes to start shooting,” said SPLC expert Mark Potok.

oh but typos aside this author mistook the "extreme party", AfD, of germany for meaning "Alliance for germany" when it's actually "alternative for germany" so, very likely it's just a really misinformed dude but still pretty funny, imo

Big deal. Trump is a better man and also has a purple heart.

Fox is considering jetisoning all of its holdings that aren't Breitbart-lite.
