  1. It's origins is different, it has been switched back and forth during the years: http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/287100.html Roger Ebert describes it as fascism since it promotes self-censorship:
  2. Well, maybe look harder then. The common element is their longing for a return to a past they see as better, characterized by blind discipline, nationalism (with or without racialist tints), little tolerance for deviation from the social norms, political authoritarianism in diverse forms, etc. It's important to note that this representation of the past may or may not be accurate, but accuracy is less important than the feels from romantizicing the past. In short: reactionarism. The necessary and sufficient condition to be considered part of the alt-right. Conservatism in general is like that. You want to preserve a past that possibly didn't even existed to begin with. What that past exactly is up to debate, but it is too broad as i would see these subgroups be quickly in war with each other if they were big enough. Well then they got beaten to it by someone else a long time ago. It's shorter than "reactionaries who spend too much time on twitter and are obssesed with cuckolding". As social interaction has pretty much moved from every day life into social media on the 'net, i would have to admit that they have been quite succesful on that platform. But as soon as they have created their own sacred cows that cannot be made fun of, the pendelum will turn back. Authority that cannot be satirized will fall on its very head. When something can be satirized is more interesting in itself. Case in point from the other side a while back:
  3. Makes me wonder if the Internet was worth it. The ability to order food without talking to people and have access to free porn is definitely worth it. I see Cultural-Marxism not as a plot to destroy Capitalism, but rather to destroy culture, directly and indirectly as it forces unity from the top through inclusivety. The Alt-Right is just another lazy attempt to categorize anyone outside the mainstream rightwing as i see very little in common between catholic monarchists and american neo-nazis.
  4. Remember Sam Wang? The guy who predicted that Hillary would win by 99% and otherwise he would eat a bug? This is a man of great honor. No emotional outbursts, no cries about any -isms, no safety pins, no rioting. No, just a man who kept his word.
  5. Everyone, come to america and cheat their system! You make the economy better because that's all that matters.
  6. Witness the creation of a future mass-shooter, gentlemen.
  7. Is there anywhere where you can get pure numbers on each state without having to select it individually in a nice graph? https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VAcF0eJ06y_8T4o2gvIL4YcyQy8pxb1zYkgXF76Uu1s/htmlview Although whoever made the sheet has not updated it with final numbers After a quick look at just California and New York, she won those states with about 3,6 million votes, i somehow understand the point of the electoral vote per state now. Btw, in column called "non-citizen", California stands out with 16,7%. That's 6,5 million in total, do they even pay taxes?

  9. In real news, TPP is now dead: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2016/11/10/the-trans-pacific-partnership-is-dead-schumer-tells-labor-leaders/
  10. Haha, i have become old.
  11. The bible has some screwy stuff in it; might be best if they don't read it. Come on, the Old Testament is a fantastic guide to living. After all, what would we do without Strong Family Values? Surely everything would descend into gibbering chaos as the last light of virtue and beauty gets extinguished by the nihilist and decadent intelligentsia as they reshape the world to mirror the emptiness that is within their hearts I don't see how that's a bad thing. bu-bu-but western culture and civilization fades away and surely nothing worthwhile could possibly follow it because it's rooted in the deepest truths of the human experience It's already dead but the corpse started to smell so that the people voted in someone able to remove it.
  12. Well, that picture depicts hell and sin, so i would say that it is quite accurate. > the picture depicts hell > accurate pick one Hell is usually depicted across cultures either as a place of chaotic punishment or as a stage of society being controlled by its vices. I would say that the picture displays that quite accurately.
  13. 82 is a quite impressive age considering it is the entertainment business. R.I.P.
  14. Well, that picture depicts hell and sin, so i would say that it is quite accurate. I much more prefer his other work though: "Hunters in the Snow", for example. I recommend seeing it in action in Vienna, it's sheer size plays part of the impact:

It's easily reflected in our culture, arts and architecture. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RM1oTw6fPg
  16. When the left protested against war, ending mass surveillance, globalism and for free speech one could easily understand their grievances. Now it requires university degree to understand.
  17. If things get worse, they should anything but get angry and organize to vote for someone else in 2020.
  18. Those "millenials" (people born 1980s to 2000) that cared to vote majority 55% voted Clinton according to exit polls. But yet again most of them didn't vote. Although millenial white people voted for trump 48% versus 43% to Clinton. But youth turn out for GOP nominee was fourth-lowest since 1972. 8% of millenials that vote voted third party candidate, up form 3% in 2012. 19% of all voters were millenials. Compared to Obama, Clinton lost millenial votes, but Trump didn't gain any compared to Romney, meaning that millenials that Clinton lost voted third party candidate instead of Trump. Had only millennials voted, Clinton would've won the election in a landslide, with 473 electoral votes to Trump's 32. How many of the 60's flower power generation raising the banners for McGovern voted for Reagan in '84? Even if they are now pro-Clinton you cannot predict the same voting patterns for the future.
  19. Are people still parroting the "Millennials" BS on voting? They tried the same thing with Kerry/Bush in 2004 and here we are. Very few people have the same political leanings their whole lives.
  20. Probably the most shocking revelation of this election: https://twitter.com/cdenizok/status/796432176761995269/photo/1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw How could she? I don't even....
  21. Nah, more to highlight that for each action is a reaction. People like to mention that the reaction of Clinton was a republican clean sweep in the house of representatives by the republicans two years later, or how the answer to Bush junior was the Obama presidency and the democrats getting the house and the senate. Point being, Hitler didn't rise from a political vacuum.
  22. Actually, his plans for the next 100 days are quite sensible: http://www.npr.org/2016/11/09/501451368/here-is-what-donald-trump-wants-to-do-in-his-first-100-days McConnell has to bend the knee though. Putting Obama-care above structural changes, like term limits and campaign financing is unforgivable.
  23. Aside from the economical turmoil, there was also situations like these who were in fresh memory for the citizens of the Weimar Republic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Revolution_of_1918%E2%80%9319 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamburg_Uprising Two armed communistic/bolshevik uprisings threathening the lives of normal people, how strange that the general public was swayed to the right when the next crisis took place.
  24. The couch-potatoes, the Homer Simpsons and those simply not caring are the true silent heroes of this election.
