US Politics

so 'drain the swamp' = 'rampant nepotism'. gotcha.

Today, maybe.

Yesterday, it was "fill the cabinet with corporate lobbyists".

The day before, it was "employ the same old GOP team as always".

You have to admire Trump's ability to make decisions.

what is 'alt' right!?

It's the scary right that want to do stuff and hurt people rather than just take money away from services.

^^ euphemistic weasel words to make fascism seem legitimate.

like calling ISIS 'alt-faith'.

gotcha, thanks

alt-right tends to be very misogynistic and anti LGBT too.

A fine mix of attitudes that I would consider harmful to others. I'd say that as a socially liberal economical leftie of course...

Then explain Milo Yiannopolous :)

Alt-right emerged out of Internet messenging boards like 4chan - hence calling it alt-right as a pun on the keyboard combination.

They spend a lot of time making racist jokes about black people, Jews, gays and feminists, call anyone who they think agrees with those groups a cuck, and generally call everyone 'faggot' or 'fag' (hence, 'newfag') pretty much as a default. A lot of their thinking is basically a mixture of 'The Game'-style PUA nonsense and gamer geekery (remember 'Gamergate'?)

I think some people thought it was tongue in cheek until they realised that it really wasn't and a lot of the idiots believed what they were saying.

And the next thing you know, a meme becomes president.

alt-right as a pun on the keyboard combination.

Is that true?

wtf is a 'cuck'

alt-right is the shortcut key for the extreme fascist command.

?

That's a COOK, (and not a Line [or Lime, never sure which it is, should look at the credits])

Short for cuckold, suggesting that they are more 'Alpha' male that the person they are talking about.

They're all neck beards.

The idea of an 'alternative right' had been floating around but I think the 'alt-right' term has caught on because of the pun.

wtf is a 'cuck'

A cuckold. These guys spend half their lives imagining that they are being wrongfully denied sex by women with the temerity to have relationships with people who aren't them.

We were discussing this at work the other day. The conclusion was that the name is actually from Alternative right, the Alt Key version seems to have arisen after the name.

well there you go.

let me know when one of these Alpha Dogs has a girlfriend who's surname isn't .jpg

"Snowflake" is another disparaging one that was quoted in my timeline today i.e. people who think they are unique and special. "You lost snowfalke, deal with it" etc.

There's also a whole load of racist shorthand they come up with to avoid being banned from twitter etc.

Haha excellent :)

Who is gay...he must be one of the biggest trolls alive, or has no self-insight at all, or does it for the lulz to confuse us all until our brains spin into oblivion ;)

I thought they were 'proud betas' or some other nonsense.

Another shorthand thing is: (((name))).
