Also Chapo Trap House has been around for over two and a half years, there's nothing "recent" about this.


It has recently picked up a lot of steam, like I mentioned earlier.

Bio is acting like new terms can't be created, even though he admits that alt-right was created.

By themselves.

That's not how it fucking works at all.

does it matter if the alt-right coined the term for themselves? if there's a reasonably similar group of people on the other side of politics, it would make sense to call them alt-left

But are they?

Again, the existence of the alt-right (which again, is a term that was created and adopted by themselves to descrive themselves) does not mean there is an alt-left. Like you're still admitting the only reason to call them the alt-left is because there's an alt-right.

I think it's fine for people outside movements to try to coin a term to describe them. It happens all the time. The term "millennial" was probably coined by a non-millennial.

Alt-right is an actual term, alt-left is not


They think if they say it enough, every single extreme leftist will suddenly become a part of the same catch all coin phrase group and suddenly all fly under the self-accepted banner of "alt left".

I think the problem is idiots think that "alt-right" means extreme right, so they conclude that of course there has to be an "alt-left".

Alt-right (besides being a self-coined term) largely refers to conservatism motivated by nationalism rather than by Christianity. Alt-right people aren't accurately described by "far right", because there are plenty of conservative ideals that they are indifferent towards.

Funny, because I remember democrats saying some of the most vile shit about him during the '08 election. I remember when Seth MacFarlane made this episode of Family Guy right before the election where Brian and Stewie go back to Nazi Germany and found out that they supported McCain/Palin.

But as soon as he spoke out against Trump, all of a sudden the same people went "Oh.....well he was a nice guy. I just thought Obama was a little better." Kinda like how the same people decided Bush Jr. wasn't that bad anymore because he spoke out against him too. It's just a never ending cycle and the same thing will happen when the next Republican that actually has a chance of winning the whole thing that is different from Trump. Trump will say something negative about the candidate, and everyone will go "You know what....Trump wasn't that bad at all looking back on it."

what the fuck is it with you people and Trump? "waaaah people only like him because he didn't like Trump WAaaah!"....thew dude was literally nicknamed "The Maverick". that was a big point during the elections. he did a lot of good things in some eyes and a lot of bad in others, just like any politician. Enough of this "HE WAS MEAN TO TRUMP THATS THE ONLY REASON PEOPLE LIKE HIM" nonsense. it shows you just started following politics this year.

Thats how politics works, everyone always insults the opposition. McCain isnt a terrible person who surrounded himself with terrible people(except Palin that time) But trump is completely different, not even republicans are going to respect his presidency once hes out of office

McCain wasn't even that bad in 2008. This really shows how crazy certain segments of the left have always been.

It's like the boy who cried wolf. They kept crying wolf every time a Republican came around (McCain, Romney), but then finally when one comes around who really was terrible (Donald Trump), people had already tuned the criers out.

Indeed. Bill Maher has admitted to this, like he has talked about how he freaked out about Romney in 2012 and gave $1 million to Obama, but now he realizes that Romney really wasn't all that bad in the grand scheme of things. He even went so far as to say he'd give $1 million to Romney in a heartbeat if it meant Romney would take over Trump's presidency.

Hamas =/= innocents

The issue is that it becomes very difficult to strike targets that conceal themselves within an urban area (like Gaza City) without collateral damage. Show me a single example of urban warfare in history where there hasn't been major collateral damage. There isn't one.
