‘Imploding’: Financial troubles. Lawsuits. Trailer park brawls. Has the alt-right peaked?

[Amused]

Could it be? Could the cockroaches be running for cover again finally? Has enough light been shone on them?

Sunlight is the best disinfectant. Let them remain out, loud and proud.

Eight months after a white-nationalist rally in Charlottesville ended in the death of a counterprotester, the loose collection of disaffected young white men known as the alt-right is in disarray.

The problems have been mounting: lawsuits and arrests, fundraising difficulties, tepid recruitment, widespread infighting, fierce counterprotests, and banishment from social media platforms. Taken together, they’ve exhausted even some of the staunchest members.

One of the movement’s biggest groups, the Traditionalist Worker Party, dissolved in March. Andrew Anglin, founder of the Daily Stormer, the largest alt-right website, has gone into hiding, chased by a harassment lawsuit. And Richard Spencer, the alt-right’s most public figure, canceled a college speaking tour and was abandoned by his attorney last month...

At Stormfront, a large white-supremacist online forum whose threads were read by some alt-right members, few were donating money. “It’s that time of [the] month again, when the big, scary bills hit,” site creator Don Black wrote recently. His wife, according to site members, has stopped financially supporting the forum, and his son, Derek, has rejected white supremacy. “Our contributions have once again totaled less than $2000, which is not enough to cover our basic server and radio bills, and this month we no longer have enough personal money to make up the difference.”

I thought they were winning?

Seriously though, it wasn't 2 months ago and I kept hearing about how white supremacists were recruiting on college campuses in record numbers. Hell, Madeleine Albright just published warnings on fascism 2 weeks ago. I wouldn't trust the liberal media on this, as they tend to prematurely declare victory.

Fucking Nazis. Get back in your fucking holes & take your Supreme Leader with you.

Liberal media? WaPo isn't "liberal" media. It's media.

It bodes about as well as the objectively-sampled poll numbers on Trump's approval. They're "on the run," but it ain't over until November when the Fat Lady sings.

[Gee! Sorta testy there, Jhhnn! Less like MLK and more like my man John Brown. . . . Looks like I'll need to trim the beard again soon, or I'll start thinking to raid Harper's Ferry again . . . ]

Fringe groups often die out. Though there are always a few die hard's that hang on long after their time has passed. Storm front is a great example, their own members won't send them a few bucks to keep the lights on. Doesn't sound like a movement that's sweeping the nation to me. How much of a Nazi are you if you won't throw ten bucks in the hat once a month?
The thing to remember is that these are fringe groups. They're the nutty edges that don't matter, and would just dry up and blow away if we ignore them. Another great example of the lunatic fringe was the occupy movement. It flashed across the country and burned out because no one took them seriously. They made a lot of noise and even more mess, and accomplished nothing. They quickly became a laughing stock because when they finally got around to figuring out what they stood for, it was absurd.

So that's whataboutism, right?

I don't know what you mean by whataboutisim. I was giving an example of a failed movement.

You weren't talking about the Alt-right but rather talking away from it.

You sir, are a fool to even try and compare the two. Comparing Nazis to protests about extreme wealth inequality is a foolish endeavor.

No, it was a well written and thought out post that made a legitimate point about fringe movements.

An off topic point, classic whataboutism.

I read your post, my response is accurate. Your comparison is a joke, and the fact that you even try to compare the two in any way, shape, or form shows what nonsense you'll gobble right up. Sucks for you, and all Americans.

Except the occupy movement wanted criminals that had screwed millions of people prosecuted, while Nazis want to enslave and/or kill anyone that isn't white Christan...

Except I didn't compare them. I used occupy as an example of a failed lunatic fringe movement. I chose that example because it was recent. It's astonishing to me that you don't comprehend that.
I'm saying that If you leave apples laying on the ground for a month they rot, and the same thing happens to oranges. You're taking me to task for saying they taste the same.

Holy crap! I've never seen a group of people so completely wrapped around an agenda that they can't see past it.
Do us both a favor and put me on ignore. We can't communicate, the exchange of ideas between us is impossible.
For the record, I was agreeing with the OP, I think the alt right is dying.

Your comparing the occupy movement to nazis, are you out of your fucking mind?

The occupy movement spread around the world and was mostly ordinary people trying to make the world BETTER.

Lunatic? I would look into a mirror bud and wonder why your always on the wrong side of life.

I do comprehend your attempt to compare what you deem as fringe movements. It's not exactly rocket science here. You fail to understand that your comparison is a joke. But hey, dont let me stop your disingenuous attempt to paint Nazis and occupy movements as fringe...
