"Alt-right" Still Parading Ignorance, Stupidity, Malice, Etc.

Pay more taxes. Yep the dirty word. Something northern European countries have less problems with. You have a problem solve it. Our education, health and social services are outside of politics which is where they should be.

[Svartalf]

pay more taxes? ha! That son of a tuppenny whore we have for a president is slashing taxes like mad, the ultra rich whose wealth is in stocks and other financial products (basically anything except real estate) no longer pay the luxury tax, and even that has been reduced to a flat tax; the residence tax is being phased out... the only people who pay more taxes are pensioners like me.

[Scot Dutchy]

We have a Minister President (PM) that wanted remove the tax paid by multinational companies on their dividends but had to reverse it due to political pressure in the coalition.

[Svartalf]

well, since we shifted to a 5yr presidential mandate, the parliament is elected after the president, and the time what's elected is not a rump assembly will be the first... I miss the times when we had "cohabitation" between a president from one side and a National Assembly with a majority to the other side...

If there is a difficulty in people uttering robust criticisms of Islam, it derives from those racist scum who have poisoned the water by conflating rational criticism of a problematic religion with their own hatred of non-whites...

(Berkeley cancelled his appearance)

He seems a bit more careful about his words than is Mr. Robinson, but he did say Islamic culture could "go to hell". Though he said it in the US (probably part of his being careful about words)

Did you see the exchange between Sam Harris and Ben Affleck? Do you think Mr. Harris was guilty of what Mr. Affleck accused?

He speaks a bit about it here...

He says clearly, that people must believe that Islam is a race, and that is what he describes as 'incorrect'.

I couldn't find him saying much about Islam in the UK, but my guess is that he would review the local laws, and weight the costs vs benefits.

McInnes is about to undertake a speaking tour of Australia, facilitate by NewsCorp media outlets.

[JimC]

Our local antifa will be there to greet him, I'm sure...

[Cunt]

I haven't heard anything objectionable by him...lots said ABOUT him being racist, etc., but his own words seem pretty moderate.

Of course, if everyone left of far left is called 'alt-right' and 'pro-western' (with scare quotes) it kind of primes the pump to get everyone claiming he is a racist. The label is pretty meaningless now, except as an indicator of a lost argument.

Yeah, he's a pretty moderate, reasonable guy.

[pErvinalia]

Definitely pretty moderate. Cunt's right again. How does he do it?

[Cunt]

Seems like the kind of group which promises to respond to violence with violence. I don't fear them, don't think anyone treating them respectfully needs to either.

I have heard of them forcing their way through protesters.

Do they have the right to defend themselves?

If attacked for trying to enter a venue to speak (or listen), would you shut up and go away? Or continue to go about your business? I'm really curious, Seabass? Is it that easy to shut you up?

[Seabass]

So you're actually defending the Proud Boys now, huh? Have fun with that.

[Svartalf]

Proud Boys, is that the new name of the MAGA frump supporters?

[laklak]

I prefer the apolitical Lost Boys.
