New York Magazine, 5/1/17, well written, comprehensive and disturbing 28 hard copy page examination of the "alt right" counterculture, including "Pepe the Frog, 4chan, and Internet Meme Magick" and more:

Beyond Alt
The extremely reactionary, burn-it-down-radical, newfangled far right.

An open-minded inquiry into the close-minded ideology that is the most dominant political force of our time — and can no longer be ignored.

The movement has real problem with women.

Possibly because its members tend to be rejected by them.

Yeah, there's lots of fodder there for pity, mocking and disdain, but also plenty of reason for depression and dread.

‘What’s Not to Like?’
Trolls Hijack White-Power Sites to Discuss Color Swatches
A team of Reddit power users is taking over subreddits across the site—and transforming communities like WhitePolitics with posts about shades of gray and laundry.

... When you click on “WHITE POWER,” it shows a 136 kilowatt power generator. That power generator is white.

The post below it, titled “Why whites must be separated from blacks,” is about laundry.

On WhitePolitics, according to a stickied post on the site, “racism is now banned,” and it is now a place to “hail the greatest of whites, Swiss Coffee!”

... The r/Stormfront community, which was initially banned by Reddit administrators for serving as a sister forum to the Ku Klux Klan-affiliated site of the same name, has been rededicated to “firsthand reports of severe weather” for the past five years....

Take, for example, r/Trannys, which now shows close-up shots of car transmissions. (Urquhart identifies as trans.) r/Whites, these days, exists to “discuss shades of whites, off-whites, and light grays.”

... “I mean, what’s not to laugh about pics of bundles of sticks in a sub called r/faggots?”

... GodOfAtheism also turned r/PUA, a pickup artist community, into a group exclusively focused on physically lifting objects....

Just this week, Urquhart got control of r/Faggots_must_die. She’s going to turn it into an anti-smoking subreddit.

Tunisian fishermen stall 'racist' anti-migrant ship's progress



Fishermen at a Tunisian port on Sunday prevented a ship carrying far-right anti-immigration activists from docking, dealing a fresh blow to a controversial mission aimed at disrupting the flow of migrant boats from north Africa to Europe....

Having left Cyprus on August 1, the 40-metre (130-foot) C-Star needs to land in Tunisia for supplies but appeared to have been caught off guard by the strength of opposition among local fishermen, as well as rights groups.

"If they come here we'll close the refuelling channel," Chamseddine Bourassine, the head of the local fishermen's organisation, told AFP.

"It is the least we can do given what is happening out in the Mediterranean," he added.

"Muslims and Africans are dying."

An official at the port, who asked to remain anonymous, said: "What? Us let in racists here? Never!"

The C-Star headed straight from Cyprus to Libyan waters after being discouraged from attempting to dock en route in Greece and Sicily, with authorities concerned about the prospect of protests.

The self-styled "Defend Europe" mission has not got off to the best of starts.

Their boat was held up for a week in the Suez Canal by Egyptian authorities looking for weapons.

Then, after it landed in the Cypriot port of Famagusta last month, several of its crew jumped ship and asked for asylum in Europe -- exactly the kind of thing the mission was set up to prevent....

Charlottesville, Virginia

No subtlety with their Nazi imagery. Poor city, the KKK was just there. I won't be going, but friends will be counter-protesting.

Vacancy. No Nazis Allowed.

I 100% agree with the motivations, but think the tactics are way too often counter-productive.

This caught my attention. Coming from an old white woman, that response ought to stop them short. Next time I hear disparaging remarks about Latinos or Muslims ( the slurs I'm my most likely to hear), I'm using it.

When someone makes a racial slur in your presence, say, ‘You probably think I’m white because I look white.'

Stand in Solidarity with Charlottesville - Find an Event

This weekend, hate groups and domestic terrorists of all stripes went to Charlottesville, VA to push their hateful message of white supremacy, fascism, anti-Semitism, and bigotry.

I have mixed feelings about Hooterville "protests". Some libs go out of their way to attack other libs that have been confrontational at GOP town halls, and these libs are seemingly afraid to call out the Nazi slaver defenders with a sign. In theory, there could be white supremacists there because they see Antifa and BLM as being the core problem.

Found:

"BLM started because they think too many blacks are being killed... Alt-right started because they think not enough are being killed."

I checked your link, and wondered, by whose authority are signs forbidden? On public property?
That's enough to make me act to contrary.
