#altright

7 posts7 participants0 posts today

Brands and services to boycott –or use or buy the least as you can– as they are owned or linked to millionaires or billionaires that work, finance or help the alt-right or extrem-right:

- Everything from Meta (Zuckerberg 🇺🇲)
- Tesla (Musk 🇺🇲)
- Amazon (Bezos 🇺🇲)
- Smartbox (Stérin 🇫🇷)
- Everything from LVMH (Arnault 🇫🇷)

Add yours, I don't know all the assholes of the world!

Depending of your life, total boycott of a brand or service isn't always possible. Find alternatives, buy second hands, make what you already have last longer or give them as few money as you can.
Make them suffer!

Mutant Capitalism
How the dystopian visions of the nativist right are in keeping with a long tradition of neoliberal ideology.

"[T]his #newRight does not really reject globalism but advances a new strain of it [...] The fix it finds in race, culture, and nation is but the most recent iteration of a pro-market philosophy based not on the idea that we are all the same but that we are in a fundamental, and perhaps permanent way, different." - #QuinnSlobodian

@ryan

the ideology thing and enforcement in woke circles can be culty, but it lacks the figurehead. I mean even Bernie got derailed as being not woke enough for going on Rogan and having Bernie Bros. (he called open borders a Koch brothers conspiracy for cheap labor) since then, he seems to have fallen in line.

I just did another post arguing for #AltRight instead of #MAGA. I think that's much more similar to #wokeism.

We fucked up in using the term #MAGA. They're #AltRight. That term/movement came first. Going back to that makes it more clear that #Trump did what nearly every politician does, run up to the front of a parade already in progress and pretend to have been leading it all along. And MAGA also lets him claim the right to decide what "making America great again" means. Instead of defining nationalism (what they call patriotism), they are just an ideological subset of a subset of what our flag means.

As Evan Hurst notes, Vera Papisova spent a year dating alt-right men to find out what makes them tick (this is so difficult to figure out?) and ended up comculding that on the whole they're “erratic, violent and incapable of managing their emotions." But, get this, "we" are somehow responsible that they're that way, since "we" have pushed them into isolation.

Himpathy much?

Crusius said he saw video of that Trump rally and was motivated to act, Spencer said. In June 2019, a month after the Florida Trump rally, Crusius purchased a semiautomatic rifle online and had it delivered to a gun dealer in his hometown of Allen, Texas, near Dallas, according to court records.
