Think about it - "Alt-Right" and all the synonymous terms they so frequently toss out to dehumanize their opponents? It's just like screaming "Heretic!" or "Witch!" a few centuries ago.

"Sin" is now just having the wrong views on politics or posting the wrong things on social media. It's arguably even more insufferable than religion, which at least had the mythology element to elevate the material.

Honestly, I see that exact same behaviour from Conservatives (I'm neither liberal or conservative).

They call anyone left leaning a 'commie' and there was the 'npc' meme, to seemingly dehumanize liberals.

I've noticed that Americans seem to treat being liberal or conservative like a quasi religion. IME here in the UK, it's normally only boomers or old Gen Xers who are diehard liberals or conservatives, who hate the other groups - in the US it seems like Millennials and Gen Z are like that too.

I think he’s using it as a descriptive term. In that adherents of Marxism/cultural Marxism have a religious fanaticism to them. As such they try and evangelize to the population the tenants of Marxism and convert others to their beliefs through whatever means.

I made it through the first paragraph before I stopped and realized the article does not match the title.

Of course the right has memes and individual commentary. This is what the left is attempting to shut down because they are indeed powerful. The whole red pill thing is true because it is the truth.

I wouldn't call memes and individuals the MSM though.

Oh, absolutely. Politics in general are treated as cults. But I'm in the Northeast so I primarily see alt-left. Like, exclusively left content, and the most "right" stuff I see is people that are sick of the leftist extremism, pushing back. I think the alt-right is a bit more ironical in their execution. "God Emperor Trump." It seems like they're trying to get a rise more than anything. The alt-left seem more like a dedicated religion. But again, my region dictates I see almost all left-leaning material.

Having said that, I think "Commie" is thrown around much more honestly than "Nazi," "White Nationalist," and "Racist" are. Because that's essentially what BLM and Antifa are doing right now, attempting a neo-commie revolution, ironically funded by corporations. In contrast, rarely do I see actual Nazis, white nationalists, or racists despite the words being thrown around so frequently. I saw ONE guy turn into an actual Nazi on his ********. Swastika shirts, the whole nine, was absurd. But that was just one, whereas I see dozens of open, proud commies daily.

I am in the UK, so maybe I acknowledge that I don't see how things are IRL in the US, and I can only see what things are like online.

That is a very fair point, and I agree with you categorization of BLM and Antifa. I'm far left, and I don't support those organizations.

I personally believe that there is a conspiracy regarding the MSM and state allowances for BLM and Antifa, but I admit that I am speculating. I just mainly have a hunch that the 'elite' want to see a race based civil war, and seems like they are trying to bait White Nationalists into creating a counter BLM and Antifa movment. (I was lurking on a White Nationalist heavy forums, and I kept seeing posts encouraging violence against BLM when the rioting first started... However, the majority of posters just kept mocking them as CIA honey pots.)

I agree that it is far more socially acceptable to say you support communism on social media.

I've even seen an Far Leftists openly talk about violent revolution on youtube, and not get his channel banned (though someone must have reported him, because from what I've seen now, he says 'I have to be careful about what I say about revolution.')

Though, on the flip side, I have seen a White Nationalist openly supporting the forced deportation of non-whites on youtube, and not have their channel outright banned either.

the only ideology mainstream media has at any given moment is the one that they think is profitable to them.

Right-quiet silent majority
Left- screeching autists that are punching air and setting things on fire.

OP does have a point but the media is controlled by the left wing by far. You can't deny that

-whites being killed is not shown
-republican content is being censored
-black killings are literally pushed in your face and regardless of the situation made to be an innocent murder by media
-destructive riots are downplayed by media as "fiery but mostly peaceful"

I wot?

it seems to be the case with conventional news sources:



The more important question is are they even still relevant in the age of social media and the post-truth world?

Nowadays it doesn't matter if what you're saying is true or flase, what matters is that you say it loudly and to a lot of people. Reach and engagement are more important than truth. For example with the BLM protests, left leaning sites will say they're nothing but good citizens protestors disregarding the acts of violence and looting while right leaning sites will only focus on the looting and disregard the people who are actually peacefully protesting. The truth lies somewhere in the middle but it's irrelevant, in the age of the algorythm people will be shown whan resonates with them in their own echo-chambers (same for left and right)

Meanwhile the ultrarich or powerfull are sitting back and laughing all the way to the bank while we plebs go at each other...

"Dude, they ARE peaceful. Every single instance of violence, homicide, crime, and arson was at the hands of alt-right provocateurs!"

Divide and conquer is out-dated. It's now "Divide, conquer, radicalize, monetize."

ok, some good points here and interesting convo

but, if:

and the left owns the majority of media outlets then... what?

the left is more responsible for non-truth nowadays? (and yes, i chose "more" specifically)
