Sure, but "alt-right" means something specific, and I was missing the jump of reason ... but this thread has gotten pretty heated, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised people were weirdly upset by what I thought was an innocent question.
Oh well, it's the internet, after all.
Alt right is pretty undefined imo.
It was started by a right winger who didn't want to be called far-right so he just called himself "alternative-right". It caught on but his views were still the same right wing views.
I guess people often use it to mean the more internet-savvy, meme-posting, trolling right wing. But they too dunk on LGBT people so even then I'm not sure why anybod would think it's not connected.
Fair enough, political definitions are rarely well-defined.
Yeah, that's how I understood it... Not really something Eich seems to do much.
Just because Eich has awful views doesn't give license to also be awful by throwing around random other accusations or connecting him with trolling skinheads. Remember, even the Nuremberg Trials had defense attorneys, so let's stick to the high road of justice, not the shitty cesspool that the far right wants to drag us into.
Dude sincerely go to hell, you are cataloging people that are not in your political side as an alt-righter.
Lmao
Yeah I'm the bad one because I have no time for homophobic cunts who want to strip minority groups' rights away.
We get it, you hate anybody who isn't a straight white guy.
Bye bye, go simp for some far right twat to somebody else.
I wasnt talking specifically about Eich. I am talkng broadly but yeah you can sincerely go to hell. You are saying alt-right to anyone that isnt in far left as you are, even centrist and other types of left people. You are a fanatic and fundamentalist. Not all gay people is from LGBT lobby. That is a political movement. As like not all women are feminist. Stop confusing the political movement with the real people.
Hell doesn't exist you dipshit nazi. Fuck off and cry about gay people elsewhere.
Sure whatever you say woke piece of shit
Not wanting gay people to have fewer rights or be exterminated is woke? Ok nazi.
When did I told that? Fanatic lobbyist real people is not a political party
This post isn't about you, it's about Brendan Eich. Someone who donates money to causes that would see rights stripped away from LGBT people. And who also donated money to a politician who said he wants all gay people to die in a plague.
That's the kind of behaviour you're defending. But I get it. LGBT people are the untermensch in your eyes.
Nope, for me the political movements LGBT and Feminist are the worst. And I do not have any personal problem with anyone I simply dont care about personal preferences. My opposition is against the political movement. Thats what I care, thats what I am talking about. I hope it is clear now.
What political movement? There's only the political movement of those that want to strip rights away from and genocide LGBT people.
You're here defending someone who wants to see those people literally be exterminated.
You are a Nazi.
When did I say that? LGBT and Feminism IS a political lobby. That's why in my country exist a Woman Ministry. It IS a political lobby. There are other countries with diversity Ministries. All of that costs money from States that WE ALL PAY. OF COURSE IT IS POLITICAL.
The conversation isn't about you, it's about Eich.
The existence of gay, bisexual, and trans people isn't political lobbying.
You know what is political? That some people want to genocide these people. Those people are Nazis.
Of course they exist. But it DOES NOT justify the existence of political lobbies trying to steal statal money to pay wages to do anything. As i said: People is one, different freom political movements. And I DO NOT support LGBT and Feminist political movements.
