Как пишутся real news
Dec. 5th, 2016 05:42 pmСсылка на память: инструкции по продвижению термина alt-right и приданию этому термину нужной окраски. Иллюстрация к сообщению того перебежчика из NYT про то, как они там сначала сочиняют нарратив, а потом уже подбирают и раскрашивают под этот нарратив новости.
Подход немного напоминает знаменитый editor’s note, который на Huffington Post клепали к каждой предвыборной статье, где упоминался Трамп. Интересно, кстати, почему они перестали это делать после выборов? Неужели он вдруг перестал быть serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther? Загадочная стеснительность.

Date: 2016-12-06 01:04 am (UTC)if it is the former - it is a sensless term, "deplorables " is better, i am a deplorable, but i a NOT alt=right.
if it is the latter - tehn it is true, spen=cer and his buddies are neo- KKK.

Date: 2016-12-06 02:02 am (UTC)but the term itself and arbat's defense of these mysterious "alt-righters" is infuriating. why defend something that does not exist??

Date: 2016-12-06 07:35 pm (UTC)i am done with Arbat. he has some good features, and he surprised me immensely by supporting Trump when other parteigenosses were contemptuous and dismissive of him - however, ultimately he remains a demagogue and an angry little prick. this case is a good illustration. on a "theoretical level" you can defend KKK, too - with the notion that not all people belonging to KKK are bad people despite being racists, that some may have been confused, that the idea of racial segregation may have some whatever blah blah. in that sense one can defend anybody to anybody.
but here we have a discrete group of people who defined themselves as "alt-right", they have a program, a website, and a vocal leader who goes on national media repeatedly to explain what his group is about. it is about racism, and about white supremacy, no matter how you interpret him.
to say that "not all alt-right are racists" = "not all KKK members are racists" .
so he is defending a flawed position, and using revolting demagoguery and godvinization like ="all Jews are evil".
this intellegtual dishonesty, common in both left and right parteigenosses, plus hisangry little member - makes conversation with him fruitless. no more. he is a duck. sorry, misspell - a dick. he walks like a dick and quacks like a dick.

Date: 2016-12-06 07:59 pm (UTC)It's really hard to explain if you only hear of places like reddit and 4chan only from CNN reports. There's no discrete group of people who defined themselves as "alt-right" They do not have a program, a website, and a vocal leader. Most of alt-right is online and consists of people who grew up playing Call of Duty, name calling each other jews, saying that things are gay and shitposting for lulz. They've grew up but still trying to insist that taboo words that are funny and provocative for 12 year olds should be as acceptable and liberating for grown ups. And yes now thanks to media everyone is lumped into alt-right from Stormfront to people who don't agree with main stream conservatism.
I agree with Arbat that most of people who consider themselves to be in alt-right are not racists. They say words like faggot, kike and post holocaust cartoons just for fun and because they can. However, for practical purposes I don't feel like checking with every one of them if they are doing it for lulz or because they believe in ZOG theory.

Date: 2016-12-06 08:21 pm (UTC)this reminds me of various alternative medicine modalities that claim a certain energy but the energy is not measurable. same here - you claim " Most of alt-right is online and consists of people who ......." - but where is that online? do they call htemselves alt-right? do they identify with Spencer? i only count "alt-right" as those who cluster around him and confirm his message as their belief. the rest??? ill-defined. vacuous.

Date: 2016-12-06 08:38 pm (UTC)"...according to a 2016 description in the Columbia Journalism Review: "Because of the nebulous nature of anonymous online communities, nobody’s entirely sure who the alt-righters are and what motivates them. It’s also unclear which among them are true believers and which are smart-ass troublemakers trying to ruffle feathers."[22] Many of its own proponents often claim they are joking or seeking to provoke an outraged response.[3] Andrew Marantz of The New Yorker describes it as "a label, like 'snob' or 'hipster,' that is often disavowed by people who exemplify it".[33]

It's like defining the "Anonymous" movement. Noone knows who exactly behind it but a lot of people claim to be speaking for them.

Date: 2016-12-06 08:41 pm (UTC)so they don't really exist, and protecting the nonexistent nonentity with a dubious 200-head front is as ridiculous as to fear it.
this did not change my opinion of Arbat, not by a grain. but at least i see what YOU mean.

Date: 2016-12-07 02:05 am (UTC)Well think about it as a cultural movement instead of political one. No hipster would call themsleves a hipster. It's also a younger crowd. For example Spencer is 38. But there is no defined movement just like there are no leaders among hipsters. Any white male that wears "Make American Great Again" hat, says "something is gay" instead of "something is bad" and most probably thinks that we should only accept immigrants that subscribe to western civilization values would be labeled as alt-right.

Date: 2016-12-07 02:58 pm (UTC)but i will have nohting to do with the fucked-up idiot Spencer and his cunt-headed group of males, young or old.
you cannot give a WORD, a DEFINITION, that has already been hijacked by a fringe group, to people you think up in your head like you described, or to people like me. i object to being labeled something that i am not, and something hateful.

Date: 2016-12-07 03:57 pm (UTC)The same happened to Tea Party when they were called all the same names. The difference is the media was trying to tear down Tea Party and now they are trying to prop up actual white nationalists.

Date: 2016-12-07 07:10 pm (UTC)it does not matter if it was indeed a NYT-sponsored reassignment or Spencer grabbed a loose existing term and applied to himself and his buffoons.
at this point, the association has stuck, and the term needs to be dumped altogether when NOT talking about Spencer and his group.
and overall, the term is idiotic to start with, but only a fucked-up pseudo-talmudist brain of a failed mathematician-baby-boy-turned-new-jersey-systems-analyst will waste time protecting all or part of alt-right.
TFU!
under your loose definition, i am am alt-right. and i don't like the term, i don't like the association, and refuse to recognize anybody under that term except the Spencer group, no matter who hijacked the term - NYT r Spencer himself.
BTW i do believe as you said - that "vetting" immigrants should begin with their complete agreement to abide by laws of our society. it won't work but as a gesture it will do.

P.S. I dropped a link in your LJ in the recent feminism topic. Hope you'll find it interesting!

Date: 2016-12-07 08:42 pm (UTC)libertarian, unless taken to randian loony extremes, is a good position.
yes, you explained it well, but the term - is useless. hijacked.
the reps are split at this point into:
1. the evangelicals. kinda Cruz + some other southerners and midwesterners.
2. the old guard - George Will etc, dying out ( and let them).
3. the former teapots, where's my spout - compromised by inner circle loonies, unorganized.
4. the New Red, blue collars and farmers, flyover folks, working rednecks, coal miners and autoworkers.
5. randoms like me, who dislike and distrust establishment, incl. 2.

Date: 2016-12-07 08:58 pm (UTC)Well the #4 are the popular ones right now. And they don't really care much about religion of group#1 or the political purity tests of group#2. They want to have work and social stability and to be left alone. And don't really care how that is achieved (I guess that's what scares the left and group#2).

Date: 2016-12-08 02:48 am (UTC)It is basically the same as lumping together LGBT, transsexuals, jews, muslims, blacks, latinos and so on. All these groups generally hate each other and don't want to have anything to do with each other and yet they are all unified under the strange umhrella of "minorities" and are therefore supposed to think, behave and vote the same way.
Hell, even you an I are lumped together as alt-right, even though you deny me even the right to belong to Cohanim!

Кто-то в жж отлил чудесное определение этого термина:
misogynу = признание женщины подходящим для жизни партнёром.
