Finally got through the whole thing. Amazing work. My head is still spinning... gonna take a while to really digest this whole thing.
An absolute MUST READ to anyone and everyone.

If you've been paying attention, there's nothing particularly surprising in this article other than rats who call themselves "liberal" turning out to be scheming fuck wits
What this article shows really well though, is that the alt right will go at great lengths to distance themselves from Nazis, whilst at the same time being fucking Nazis
The evidence is all there, for those that ever doubted, though I'm sure they'll just hand wave it away anyway.

Before the inception of GG, besada was dropping truth bombs about gamer culture:

His sexuality and even that he is Jewish isn't a factor, by sharing the same views as a Nazi you are a Nazi.
I just finished the article and feel the same way--this is fucking terrifying and vital reporting, deserving of an award. Everyone with a brain and a sense of empathy knows Breitbart and Milo are trash but the extent of it detailed here is platinum-tier.
Having finished this piece...I feel like more major news outlets should be covering this? I feel like the reaction on the internet to this piece isn't causing nearly as big of a splash as it should given the depths to which it probes.
Am I just looking at the wrong sources? This seems like such a huge deal but I'm not sure if I am seeing a proportional response.

Really amazing journalism there.
Loved that they named names of collaborators. Loved that they showed Milo's racism from his communications and hiring of racists to even his damned passwords.
Loved how they brought to light the plausible deniability defense of this entire scheme.
Just. Fantastic.

Really puts it into perspective.
What?
It really makes you wonder. Makes you question all the articles these people wrote.
I mean she's not the only one, but I believe she was especially hard on Clinton during the campaign. Now you gotta wonder "why?".

It'll be interesting to see how many of these people go full on Ian Miles Cheong/Cassandra Fairbanks

Now that they are being called out, and the alt-right is going to welcome them with open arms, I am guessing a lot. Watch who they follow on Twitter over time, it is a pretty good indication of where these figures stand.

People with liberal leanings tend to side with fascists over anyone left wing when push comes to shove.

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but the New Yorker did a great, creepy piece on Robert:

He's a cretin. Dude reminds me of Samuel L Jackson's character from The Kingsman.
As much shit as Buzzfeed gets for their listicles and lowcomdom trafficking - their journalism is and has been seriously on point over the past few years - especially everything surrounding trump and the alt-right.
If you're still not convinced that gamergate and the alt-right aren't directly linked - this is the exposé for you.

When you think of liberal in terms of the world definition and not necessarily the American definition, the meaning of the phrase becomes more obvious.

The scariest thing about this entire thing is that Trump is just the beginning. These people are trying to shape the political landscape in their nationalistic and demented POV for generations to come. This will be a hard battle to win.

This was a good article. Where did they get the emails from? I am a bit lost on that.
They're probably not gonna out the source.

Have Facebook, Twitter and Youtube delete their shit and at least 50% of the problem goes away.
Here is my completely, unsubstantiated guess: one of these two:

Holy crap at this story.
How many are naive, how many are idiots, how many are complicit?
I will continue to give side-eye to anyone in the media who claims "moderate" while citing that actual Nazis have some good ideas.
Jesus christ......
The amount of people saying give him a platform over the years

Yup. Some of this shit starts to make sense now that this shit is out there. It's quite sad. Because these people loudly say they are an ally, but do shit like this.
Like how do Ian Miles Cheong and Cassandra Fairbanks make that hard turn? I can only assume they were paying lip service to be accepted and then found this Alt-Right shit to be very lucrative for them.
A lifelong friend of mine "shared" one of Milo's videos where he "DESTROYS" some lady who asked a question at one of his "speeches." There was a back and forth, where I picked apart the video and told him why exactly Milo is trash.
...We don't really talk anymore. The relationship had been sort of deteriorating prior to that, but that was the nail in the coffin.
...He is also trying to get a job as a police officer....so.

a lot of my threads involve me fucking up somehow. Perhaps I'm a moron?
How in the holy hell did a gay jew become the voice for the modern Nazi?!
I get why they'd want him, for PR reasons, but does he not understand that he'd be the first up against the wall?

the only reason breitbart hired him is because he's good at stirring shit and gives these nazis someone to hide behind "oh but he's gay and has had relationships with minorities, we can't possibly be evil!"

It's the same reason Log Cabin Republicans exist. They don't actually think they'll be on the chopping block. They sincerely believe in their own exemption from the ultimate fate they're working hard to usher in.

Yup. Besada always drops knowledge gems. I am just now really discussing and breaking down GG with my son, who is 14 and needs to know about the ugly side of our shared passion.

It's been known for a while he was getting his stories written by 4chan racists. There was an article about how he had to edit the material to remove all the n-words and Nazi shit, because they couldn't write a paragraph without it.
