    Its really hard to say the alt-right is an “argument....against liberalism and the Enlightenment” when 35% of democrats believe in limiting free speech to restrict ‘offensive’ ideas. That’s straight middle-ages thinking in action.

    Honestly, the alt-right looks nothing like ISIS and looks a lot like the extreme left - two miserable groups that just need to hate fuck each other and get it over with.

      I’m still not sure why Gawker finds this whole internet culture war stuff so compelling.

      Are you thinking of concepts such as the regressive left?

    “The enemy is cutting off the heads of Christians and drowning them in cages,” he wrote in a February op-ed, “and yet we are too politically correct to respond in kind.”

    Jeez ... it used to be that you could use PC and the word meant something. We can all agree that the special snowflakes at Oberlin take concepts related to tolerance, diversity & cultural discourse to silly, insulating extremes and that they should be roundly mocked for their behavior most of the time.

    But as with all potshot insult words, it gets slapped on everything, and all of a sudden an unwillingness to behave like a fucking barbarian straight out of some shitty and historically inaccurate period piece about the Roman Empire is “PC”.

    Fucking Trump man, that guy ruins everything.

      It is nowadays a meaningless catch-all codeword to get those on the right furious about liberals. Nothing more, nothing less. And somehow, it’s working.

    I once heard someone say that a bully doesn’t care if you hit back because what the bully wants more than the winning the fight is a world where problems are solved by fighting.

    The similarities between the Chan Boards and ISIL is that both want a hyper-masculine, aggressive world because they each think they can dominate it.

    It’s not so much about what they want the final score to be so much as the rules of the game.

      Yeah, bullies tend to be real big-picture thinkers like that.

      Don’t get it twisted on Chan, some of them are lefties like Anonymous. They all share a desire to jerk off to anime porn though.

    It is true that mainstream political discourse in the West does not adequately address or acknowledge the ties between state- and Church-sponsored violence

    It’s about the search for willing dance partners.

      It’s a bit different. This article fails to understand the key deference between the Abrahamic religions. Which is the idea of holy war. Islam is a missionary religion and Judism and Christanity are not.

      If your a Hasidic Jew your not trying to spread Judism by the sword. Your waiting around for the messiah to come back and throw everyone into a pit of fire.

      If your a Christian it’s extremely hard (but not impossible) to take the New Testament and the example of Jesus and come up a justification for holy war.

      If your a Muslim the most plausible reading of the Koran, the hidith and example Mouhmad give you holy war, and the idea of paridise. This matters a lot

      Trump loves Putin and I bet he secretly loves ISIS. They aren’t some namby-pamby apologists.

    I really feel foolish. I made fun of my neighbors for having this picture in their window. Sure, it’s anachronistic, and I am pretty sure I was right when I told them Jesus never said Git ‘r Done!. But still, egg on my face!

      I embellished for artistic purposes. But I definitely have neighbors who believe Jesus was a warrior, and quoted Larry the Cable Guy.

    Daesh/ISIS/ISIL can only get what it wants (a total bifurcation of the world into two camps of believers/apostates, locked in a war of annihilation with one another) if everyone else consents to being divided. That’s why the far right, not a smattering of lone wolf fanboys, is their biggest resource in the West.

    It’s always interesting to read about the extreme right and their bizarre view of the world... as long as we all remember that the mainstream Muslim community has been condemning them and actively fighting them since they first began. The major Muslim leaders of the world have written 80-page rulings debunking ISIS’s beliefs line-by-line and calling them out on their BS. In order to burn people alive, for example, you have to ignore the numerous explicit commands in the Quran against murder, against mistreating prisoners, and the numerous hadith against punishing people with burning (only God can burn with Hell you see). It’s not like ISIS has actually been able to rebut these rulings with any religious evidence, instead they make long speeches over political gripes and do whatever the hell they want anyway. Disgusting people, really.

    This is an important point; because US media has always ignored the literally billions of Muslim people living their lives in peace and harmony and only focuses on these nutcases. It leads to the weirdo Trump supporters who believe that ISIS may be in their hometown shopping at the same supermarket and looking suspiciously at Dr. Hussain the cardiologist at the hospital.

      ISIS’s beliefs are completely in line with the content of the Quran and hadiths. All those nice passages about not killing people are abrogated by later ones. I agree that the majority of Muslims are not violent psychopaths. They are also not, strictly speaking, following the teachings of their prophet.

      That isn’t the consensus of Muslim scholars. They think Daesh are khawarij. They probably just haven’t read those texts, though.
