I thought this was gonna be Arrow Cross Party related but it isn't. Seems stupid to wear it but not quite as bad as I first thought.
 
Why does the video say ALT LEFT PROPAGANDA? Are they trying to counterclaim their literal nazis with more boogeymen? Who identifies with the alt left? What do they collectively do?

It's a non thing folks are trying to make a thing, even some people around here have taken to calling GAF alt-left, funny shit.

It's a medal given to his father by a group of supporters of the former ruler of Hungry who collaborated with the Nazis during WWII, Miklos Horthy. A group that Gorka is a proud member of (just like being an editor at Brietbart). Was that person an anti-semite? Let's let him answer the question in his own words:

Miklos Horthy: Concerning the Jewish problem, for all my life I have been an anti-Semite. I have never had contact with Jews. I have considered it intolerable that here in Hungary everything, every factory, bank, large fortune, business, theatre, press, commerce, etc. should be in Jewish hands, and that the Jew should be the image reflected of Hungary, especially abroad.

To replace the Jews, who have everything in their hands…requires a generation at least.

I can see why Gorka would want to openly tie himself to that tradition.

I wonder, in a generation or two, if it will be normal to hear that the Holocaust was a Jewish conspiracy meant to force the creation of a Jewish state.

I have seen the argument from a few right wing crazies now, and there is a lot of social media push for respecting Nazi views.

People can be bigoted against their own self interests. See Milo.

In the short term it isn't against their self interest, like with Milo who makes tons of it and gets a lot of the attention he craves so badly. In the long term? yeah... erm.... if things go really bad he might end up getting hurt.

But I doubt Milo thinks that far :(.

I guess "alt-left" is now something they're trying to make "a thing", now that alt-right has come to be a negative term, the opposite of why it was invented; to rebrand neo-Nazis and white supremacists under a new term for PR reasons. Trying to act like it's both sides as always.

Note: The is no such thing as "alt-left".

Side note, I feel like Hannity's attempt to make "Alt Left" a thing is pretty pathetic and a weak attempt to distract from the fact that he supports super racist people.

Always attack never defend, it is what Republicans and the Right Wing have been doing for about 40 years now.

The good news is they've largely given up hope on alt right being a positive rebranding. They're still very identifiable and move in hoards, but I'm not sure they have much recruitment potential anymore.

I doubt that considering that his son-in-law, who is his senior advisor, is Jewish.

His top fucking advisors are KNOWN anti semites.

His daughter married a jew, but more importantly a jew from a disgustingly wealthy criminal real estate family. They are part of the "club". They are "good ones"

At BEST, he could give a shit either way. More likely, the cadre of anti semites he has surrounded himself with have influenced the way he thinks about jews.

His "GLOBAL ELITES ARE CONTROLLING EVERYTHING" shit in the election was a straight up parrot of how neo nazis talk about the jews. They just say "globalization" and stuff now because they know if they say jews they'll get laughed out of the room.

I posted a bunch of links in the other thread about Russian immigrant medicare fraud in NY.

I know these communities, and while some are indeed pockets or Russian jews, these are very secular jews we are talking about. They don't wear a head cover, no beard, etc etc. There are other, orthodox, Russian Jewish communities in NYC but they are not in the same area and are not involved in the various crimes I was researching for the post.

In one of the articles I found, the top comment was "These aren't Russians, they are Jews"

Just... sigh.

Much like "thug" was appropriated to be the new code word for "n*****r", "globalist" is a new word for "Jew".

Only they're so bad at using codewords that it's really easy to pick up on them, because as soon as they have a new word to use, they can't stop using it. It's why they drive words and phrases into the ground so quickly.

Its been normal to hear in certain circles for many years now bro

Its been going on for decades. This is not a new thing at all.

Deniers are a known quantity. We know their rhetoric, we've seen it before.

In two generations even the 90s will become a conspiracy by old people.
