This Man Helped Build The Trump Meme Army — And Now He Wants To Reform It – Can the Peter Thiel associate behind the DeploraBall save the pro-Trump internet from itself?

Joseph Bernstein writes for Buzzfeed:

While Giesea certainly rejects some of the outright discrimination encouraged by parts of the alt-right — “I’m gay, why would I support a movement that wants to turn me into a lampshade?” he said — he also said his perspective “isn’t totally colorblind” and doesn’t ignore demographics, specifically that America is getting less white.

Hate Crimes!

Rav Shmuly Yanklowitz writes:

Local friends, this is the 2nd hate crime perpetrated against our local Jewish community this Chanukah.

If you want to show leadership against acts of hate against the Jewish community & against any vulnerable population in our state, please join us at Arizona Jews for Justice. We must never be silent! — with ADL – Anti-Defamation League and Southern Poverty Law Center.

Lilian writes: “That square looking-thin pipe menorah is just asking for it. They need to invest in a nice Chabad-type of menorah that is sturdy and unable to bend in shape. The only reason the thugs are able to shape it into a swaztika is because it has those sharp corners. Then again, if they are unable to bend it, they would just do some other vandalism.”

The Jewish Alternative: A New Manifesto

Ari Ben Canaan and the crew at TheJewishAlternative.com publish:

1. We know that race is real.

We are unequivocally opposed to the misconception that race is a social construct. Not only is this confused doctrine conceptually unfounded and empirically disproven; its chief use is also to convince Whites to abandon their identity and ignore the hostility that is directed toward them by other races. It is, accordingly, both wrong and wrongful.

Rather, we believe that races are historical groups of people, each bound together by its own common genetic heritage, unique characteristics, and self-conception. Races stretch back into the past and forward into the future, uniting us together with the most ancient of our ancestors and the most far-off of our descendants. Whites and Jews both have the right to be proud of the achievements of their ancestors and to hold dear the prospects of their descendants, and it is only by recognizing the reality of their race that they can begin to do so.

2. We view Whites as the historical fellows of the Jewish people.

We are sensitive to the fact that the history of Jews in the West is fraught with pain. Jews and Whites, each maintaining their own identities while living in mutual competition, have learned to mistrust, fear, and even hate one another. The results of this natural antagonism on the part of both have been regrettable, as both the fall of Toledo and the chambers of Auschwitz attest.

However, we recognize that there is a more encouraging, oft-overlooked side of our historical relationship with Whites. After two millennia of cohabitation, we have absorbed significant elements of each others’ culture. We have both shared greatly in the pursuit of scientific and philosophical knowledge, the challenge of technological innovation, and the search for beauty in the arts – all of which are distinctive of European civilization. Violence against one another notwithstanding, Whites sheltered us in our exile, allowing us to preserve the dream of one day returning to our homeland: each time we were violently expelled, we were graciously invited once again.

For these reasons, our interest in the cause of White identity is more than simply academic, and goes beyond mere universalism about ethnic nationalism. We wish to see Whites thrive because we love their people, admire and share in their culture, and have a common historical and genetic inheritance. As we note below, we believe that the only solution to the Jewish question is separation. But we look forward to what we can achieve together once we live apart.

3. We oppose all efforts to weaken White identity in White homelands.

………….

4. We seek the eventual end of the Jewish diaspora.

………….

5. We support Jewish sovereignty over all the historic land of Israel.

How the alt-right became racist, Part 2: Long before Trump, white nationalists flocked to Ron Paul

From Salon:

Pretty much all of the top personalities at the Right Stuff, a neo-Nazi troll mecca, started off as conventional libertarians and Paul supporters, according to the site’s creator, an anonymous man who goes by the name “Mike Enoch.”

“We were all libertarians back in the day. I mean, everybody knows this,” he said on an alt-right podcast last month. After Paul’s second campaign failed, Enoch completely disengaged from politics, he added.

Paul was also the favorite of Paul Gottfried and Richard Spencer, the two men who created the term “alternative right” and formed the annual conference where old-school right-wing racists met and mentored young and disaffected conservative intellectuals.

The Texas congressman was also the preferred candidate of Jared Taylor and the readers of his white nationalist website American Renaissance.

That feeling of admiration was apparently mutual. In the 1990s, Paul in his famously racist newsletters repeatedly promoted Taylor as part of a “paleolibertarian” strategy designed to attract racist white people. (Paul subsequently denied writing them, however.) Later on, American Renaissance wrote a featured article stating that “the race-realist section of the blogosphere is one of the most enthusiastic sources of support for Mr. Paul” and praised his “good instincts on race,” despite the fact that the author believed that Paul was no longer interested in catering to overt racists, as he formerly had.

Paul had nonracist supporters as well who would later become alt-right figures. (The self-described neo-Nazi types refer to them as “alt-lite.”) Libertarian radio host Alex Jones of InfoWars, a man famous for his belief in “lizard people” and his elaborate 9/11 conspiracy theories, dislikes being identified with the alt-right. But he is an important figure in the movement’s history and a key link from Ron Paul to Donald Trump. Today Jones is known today as an ardent Trump supporter but his affection for Ron Paul and his son, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, was even greater while they were running their respective presidential campaigns.

In the 2008 and 2012 presidential campaigns, Ron Paul was also by far the preferred presidential candidate of the racist Politically Incorrect board known as /pol/ on 4chan. Throughout both of his unsuccessful runs, the forum served as a critical organizing portal and talent incubator for Ron Paul’s youthful, tech-savvy supporters to pull off fundraising and digital feats that many political observers incorrectly attributed to his official campaign staff.
