On my latest appearance on Luke Ford's YouTube livestream I made a few comments that referred to the way in which idiots like Richard Spencer allowed the Alt-Right to be subverted and destroyed by shills/ plants/ Nazitards/ morons (take your pick).
When you do such a thing, there is almost always immediate push back, with mysterious shitposters appearing, trying to distort, obfuscate, or rewrite the narrative, and of course make ad hominem attacks.
That's because movements don't usually just subvert themselves on their own. They usually have plenty of help. These are in fact planned operations.
Anyway, I thought it would be a good idea to nail down some of what I said in that livestream in an article because it is a rambling four hours plus in length and therefore hard to wade through and concision aids understanding.
One of the points I made in the livestream was that the (((Daily Stormer))) was clearly doing all in its power to create a situation by which the Alt-Right could be deplatformed and demonetized. Right now the (((Nazitard))) narrative is that Big Tech was always going to deplatform and demonetize the Alt-Right anyway, which fits in with their usual advice that you may as well be as 1488 as possible "because fuck it!"
This is a complete lie. Big Tech with its leftist culture had a soft commitment to free speech that they needed to be triggered out of. The actions of the Daily Stormer were consistent with attempting to create an excuse for Big Tech to remove Alt-Right content from the internet. Also it is extremely telling that this American attempt to provoke deplatforming mainly focused on Europe. This was because America has or had a stronger cultural and constitutional commitment to free speech.
From a censorship point of view, targeting Europe was the correct tactical thing to do. Compared to the US, Europe is a welter of "hate speech" and "thought crime" laws. Banging on about "ovens" and "lampshades" in the US might well be ignored, but in Europe it simply can't be. Also, all the Big Tech companies that operate in America have an equal exposure in Europe, and certainly don't want to run the completely separate services that would be necessary to recognise the differences in free speech legality.
So, accordingly in 2014, the Stormer suddenly started to take a weird interest in stuff that wasn't even making the news in the UK and in particular the group National Action, the sudden formation of which was as suspicious as the growth of the Stormer.
The Stormer then championed National Action and other British Neo-Nazis, and participated in attacking British politicians with Twitter mob tactics and by using the most extreme Nazi-esque troll rhetoric and imagery. The objective was clearly to trigger a response, which is why they especially picked on a mentally fragile and emotionally weak female Jewish Member of the UK Parliament, Luciana Berger, as the butt of their attacks, which also included death threats.
The result of this was all too predictable. The troll tactics, the Neo-Naziism, and the "abuse of the internet" became live political issues, with the result that Big Tech was held responsible, pushing them in the direction of setting dangerous precedents of deplatforming. When (((Anglin))) was finally kicked off Twitter he had clearly achieved his objective, which was to make it easier for real nationalists and alt-Righters to be kicked off that platform and others in the years to come.
Now, when you point this out, the predictable push back always pops up with a statement that is almost always a bare-faced lie from an anonymous troll. In the comments section on the Luke Ford livestream accordingly this individual, going by the name of "Andrew Rider" with no previous history or track record of commenting on YouTube suddenly appeared to deliver his weighty opinion:
I mean, just look at this profile. Tumbleweed! Pure sock! What is it about this that doesn't shout "My fellow YouTube commenters" at you? He's clearly clever enough to make a balanced-sounding point, even if it is a completely dishonest one, as you will see. With those talents, it really is a surprise that he has been hiding his light under a bushel for so long that his YouTube profile is as blank as this.
So, let's look at that statement:
According to Andrew "My fellow YouTube commenters" Rider, National Action hated Anglin and the closely affiliated (((TRS))) and so they had nothing to do with each other, absolutely no connection whatsoever. I mean, just don't go there, goyim. This bald-faced lie was made, secure in the knowledge that almost nobody would know how to, or even bother to, check up on it. But really it's not that hard to do.
The Stormer site is still up and so is its labelling system. You can easily do a search and dig up dozens of articles where the Stormer used its large readership to boost National Action, make them out to be heroes, and fully support them in all their illegal activities:
Here's some typically brilliant advice from (((Andrew Anglin))):
Yes, fellow White men, go to jail as fast as you can. You know it makes sense! You'll be a "hero" and get free bus travel in the ethnostate!
Here's another story about National Action that is clearly designed to keep mass immigration in place for the next 1000 years by making nationalists look like sick fucks so that normies do the exact opposite of whatever it is they say:
Really, this is how shills and infiltrators work, and if you're still defending them, you are probably on the same team but on a shittier pay grade.
Yes, Andrew Rider, absolutely no connection whatsoever between National Action and the Daily Stormer. They clearly exist on totally different planets, LOL.
In due course, other anonymous commenters may show up, pretending to be "genuine people" with "genuine opinions" who just happen to agree with Andrew "my fellow YouTube commenters" Rider, because these shill factories know that humans are wired to be influenced by social patterns more than evidence and logic. If several people on a comment thread seem to be saying the same thing, then it looks like that opinion, viewpoint, or "fact" might be right, even if what they are saying is complete shit. So ignore that "social factor" and instead do what I do, dig up the hard facts, look at the patterns, infer who benefits, and present the truth.
In that spirit here is the Daily Stormer in its usual National-Action-hating mode. Remember, these people want you to fail and so far they have been succeeding.
