Pros and Cons of Punching a Nazi Just Square in the Dick

[Yoji]

Students of Columbia University protesting a Mike Cernovich speech had to deal with alt-right trolls unfurling a fake NAMBLA banner in front of them. They tore it down within seconds, but that was enough for people to start tweeting it like it was real.

It feels weird to yell "FALSE FLAG" in 100% seriousness.

The Daily Caller just hired Milo:

MILO is an award-winning journalist and New York Times bestselling author. This is the first installment in his new weekly column for the Daily Caller.

His first column is titled "A Round of Applause for Kevin Spacey"

Maybe I shouldn't laugh, but...

AHAHAHAHAHA

[François]

Nah, go ahead; by comparison, this is the first time in the history of mankind that it is okay to laugh.

US votes against a United Nations resolution condemning the glorification of Nazis.

Why? Why else:

Officials from the US state department said free speech protections, among other problems with the resolution, made it impossible for America to support the document.

You want a cool life hack? Try this:

If you're wondering who's on the wrong side of an argument between a Nazi and anyone else, just look at who's the Nazi and you have your answer. #LifeHack!

[François]

wait what if you got a nazi who's proud of the holocaust and then a holocaust denier who said it never happened and they're dukin' it out

I would pay money, for real, to see this.

Lemme tell ya, first ticket I ever bought hoping for a double KO.

Harper's Magazine reprints a thoughtful piece from their August 1941 issue:

Who Goes Nazi?

It is an interesting and somewhat macabre parlor game to play at a large gathering of one’s acquaintances: to speculate who in a showdown would go Nazi. By now, I think I know. I have gone through the experience many times—in Germany, in Austria, and in France. I have come to know the types: the born Nazis, the Nazis whom democracy itself has created, the certain-to-be fellow-travelers. And I also know those who never, under any conceivable circumstances, would become Nazis.

[Mongrel]

It includes Baneposting.

More soberly, it's more than a style guide, it's practically "a playbook for the alt-right" and its style is pulled from diverse named sources including both Mein Kampf and Gawker.

What a time to be alive.

A group of furries in Quebec known as "La Meute" have been fighting against a far-right hate group of the same name

[Mongrel]

Unsurprisingly, it's completely unreadable, never mind the now-stale hate screed.

The little editorial comments are something else. Pretty sure they're already on their way to becoming a new meme.

[Mongrel]

I love that that twitter user has made that comment his Twitter background xD

[Mongrel]

Slate has compiled their list of the best editorial comments from Milo's manuscript

[Yoji]

If there isn't some generator for those comments by this time next week, I'll be disappointed with the Internet.

Also, "DELETE UGH" just about sums up Milo Yianowhatever.

[Thad]

Let's keep things in perspective, though:

Milo's editor agrees with him and is trying to help him. As enjoyable as it is to see someone tell him he is terrible, don't forget what the goal was: they were pointing out why his nazi book was unconvincing and unpalatable, to help him make it more convincing and palatable.

[Mongrel]

Right. I mean this is an editor who's peddled these sorts of books before.

It's still funny though that even a guy who agrees with Milo and was trying to help him sell his book thought it was a pile infantile tripe, clearly becoming more "tired of this shit" as the book goes on.
