and I read them

2018-07-18 06:43:07 UTC  

Keep them around for a while

2018-07-18 06:43:12 UTC  

@ExceptionalFeather I can't tell you not to use wikipedia, and it's got some use.

But do be aware of it's limitations and don't just assume what you read is necessarily accurate. Particularly if names or something seem to start flying or the people who are discussed in an article protest.

2018-07-18 06:43:27 UTC  

But yeah these are possible issues

2018-07-18 06:43:32 UTC  

It's ultimately better to do your own extensive research on politics in many cases and balance sources.

2018-07-18 06:43:40 UTC  

I think I should start with the basics first

2018-07-18 06:43:49 UTC  

Design the site

2018-07-18 06:43:59 UTC  

lol. @Deleted User you've got odd friends.

2018-07-18 06:44:06 UTC  

But if it seems to work.

2018-07-18 06:44:12 UTC  

Hey, they're interesting people

2018-07-18 06:44:24 UTC  

The psychopath is a conservative

2018-07-18 06:44:26 UTC  

@pratel I don't assume any source is outright accurate

2018-07-18 06:44:39 UTC  

It's always more fun to have interesting friends than normal friends. I cannot lie.

2018-07-18 06:44:50 UTC  

And the other guy is Frank Smytt

2018-07-18 06:45:18 UTC  

@pratel I just think it gets underused because people think that it is mostly inaccurate

2018-07-18 06:45:22 UTC  

He's one of the original members of the alt right, before the neo Nazis and white nationalists took over

2018-07-18 06:46:04 UTC  

He's a black guy btw

2018-07-18 06:46:09 UTC  

We were discussing alt-lite earlier

2018-07-18 06:46:17 UTC  

In my experience, Wikipedia is heavily overused. It's too easy to use and puts so much at the top that people don't read past it that much. Plus Google and Bing put it right at the top in a special box.

2018-07-18 06:46:22 UTC  

Alt lite seems to be a prejorative

2018-07-18 06:46:39 UTC  

it may have been used that way just like liberal or conservative

2018-07-18 06:46:46 UTC  

"I want to tell people this person is alt right, but I can't, so...."

2018-07-18 06:46:52 UTC  

From what I understand Alt-lite is an attempt to rebrand after Charlottesville.

2018-07-18 06:47:03 UTC  

some accept it to be alt-right minus the identity politics

2018-07-18 06:47:07 UTC  

On tumblr alt lite is a nazi dogwhistle

2018-07-18 06:47:15 UTC  

So there's that

2018-07-18 06:47:21 UTC  

On tumblr everything's a Nazi dogwhistle.

2018-07-18 06:47:25 UTC  

It's a prejorative

2018-07-18 06:47:42 UTC  

You guys know contrapoints, right?

2018-07-18 06:47:54 UTC  

The tranny youtuber?

2018-07-18 06:48:06 UTC  

She made a video about Nazi dogwhistles

2018-07-18 06:48:14 UTC  

And every single one applies to her

2018-07-18 06:48:21 UTC  

It's hilarious

2018-07-18 06:48:50 UTC  

In fact one of the dogwhistles was "Denying that they are fascist"

2018-07-18 06:49:55 UTC  

I don't see the point of alt lite tbh

2018-07-18 06:50:03 UTC  

I've never seen anyone self identify as it

2018-07-18 06:50:28 UTC  

It seems to be applied to people like Lauren Southern and Rahim Kassam

2018-07-18 06:50:37 UTC  

And even Majid Nawaz

2018-07-18 06:51:23 UTC  

"In addition even though the Alt Lite and Al Right labels serve a function on a political classification level I would still urge one to be cautious about overusing these descriptors as they may cloud some key differences between individuals falling under the respective umbrellas."

2018-07-18 06:52:48 UTC  

"In fact one of the dogwhistles was 'denying that they are fascist' "

The sureset sign you're just on a witch hunt.
