Why do people think calling someone a racist makes them become actually racist?
It doesn’t make much sense. You get insulted, internalize the insult, then become the insult? Wait, what?
But it's conventional wisdom on the far right …

Gosh another young Republican racial slur scandal.
Do they all have Tourette’s, or has the alt-right so successfully wormed into the mainstream that it’s cool to drop the n-word in chat?
Some of them will be “ironic”. Lol!
Some of them won’t.

Pizzagate believers are going ballistic over Lauren Boebert's bizarre questioning of Hillary Clinton.

It's not hard to separate truth from fiction.
Epstein's crimes were real.
Pizzagate is fake.
Someone pls tell Boebert

Alt-right/ex-Proud Boy congressional candidate Omar Navarro never did well in the polls, but he did raise hundreds of thousands of dollars, much of which he spent on himself, so now he’s going to prison.

One of the less-mentioned moments from the State of the Union was Trump’s announcement that JD Vance will lead a “war on fraud”.
Fraud exists, but not in its social media fever dream form ...

Sorry, those things not the same.
"Reform is in more TV news reports than the Lib Dems" does not equal "a rubbish job covering the alt-right".
I'm happy to have a conversation about reporting on the far-right, which again, I did for many years and still do. But that's not super relevant
Trump disavowed Project 2025, then followed many of its suggestions.
I talked to the report’s author, and some of its fiercest critics, to find out more.

I think so yes. Evidence?
Idk I wrote a whole book on the alt-right (one of the first) when I was employed full time by the bbc and they still have me back to write things like this

Project 2025 - it’s half done.

🇺🇸 When "El Presidente" gives his State of the [dis]Union address on Tuesday evening, he is expected to tout his policies from his first year back in the White House.
But one thing likely won't get a mention: #Project2025

The PIZZAGATE IS REAL crowd on a totally normal one
I have written a column about exactly this in the new issue of @newhumanist.bsky.social By comparing the spirit of the Nouvelle Vague to modern day influencer content creators.
Don't be surprised when a large government deployment is dispatched to California.
The online right is up in arms over another video by YouTuber Nick Shirley. It does not appear to contain any new claims but it doesn't matter if the right person sees it.

From @theblaze, another deliberate misreading of Pizzagate debunks, which were never about pedophile codes (they exist, or used to, bc a code is useless when *everyone knows the code*)

When I began investigating the alt-right a decade ago I (w/ many others) was called “leftist”, “woke”, “normie”, got death threats, was doxxed, mocked, or worse - ignored.
Now the American right is worried about the “ironic” white nationalist neo-Nazis.

Big thanks to @annieknk.bsky.social for having me on the QAA Podcast to chat about the @londoncentric.media investigation into anti-immigrant TikToks and why London hasn't "fallen". Listen now on all podcast platforms podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f...
Morning Briefing: Data on right-wing extremist violence indicates "landscape shaped by preparatory behaviors, ideological mobilization, and institutional response," according to recent analysis.

I was interviewed last summer for a French news segment on -- what else? -- ten-cent beer night, and the segment finally aired. It's a strange thing to hear yourself dubbed into French, especially since it was much better French than I ever spoke (most of which I have forgotten since high school).
Honestly I know this is not news to the people who are actively in this system, but you can just do bond-level investments on Polymarket; and (unlike in the US) gambling profits do not count as income in the UK.

We're being subjected to a deluge of medieval anti-science claptrap from the right-wing press.
Meanwhile, anti-vax attitudes are rising and measles is back.
Their opinions are not just "hot takes" – they're wrong and dangerous.
This is a one-way bet; if alien life is actually confirmed it will so fundamentally alter history that any losses you make would be pretty irrelevant, even to you personally.

And maybe you are engaging with Nazis, in a wholly negative way, but in the crude, button-pushing algos that social media companies have created ...THIS MAKES THEIR VIEWS SPREAD FURTHER
The problem is that letting absolutely nutbars build huge followings poisons the entire environment even if you, personally, do not interact with them. This is PRECISELY what has gone wrong on Twitter - the far right has massive social gravity even if you don’t talk to it.
