Very-Fine-People-On-Both-Sides Hoax of 2017 in the news: There was a change of ownership at Snopes in September 2022

Biden decided to run for president, he said, because Trump called neo-Nazis very fine people.

Funny what a change of ownership in September 2022 can do.

Trump and Biden have a debate scheduled for next Thursday, coincidentally.

Of course that's exactly what he did

Anti-semitism runs wild on the nation's college campi and Joe Charlottesville Biden and his administration is silent

Fine people on both sides hoax in the news: Biden says bad people on both sides lol

 Dershowitz: Biden Made "Same Moral Equivalence He Complained About In Charlottesville" On Hamas Protests

Scott Adams spearheaded exposure of the hoax from the beginning. There is hardly a constituency left in this country for preserving the statues and history of The Confederacy, except maybe in Donald Trump and people like YT.

Meanwhile the anti-Trump right like Stephen L. Miller and his ilk are happy to use fine people on both sides against Biden:

Like we're going to take Milo Yiannopoulos' word for it that that's Richard Spencer's voice

"The tape's contents have been independently verified by three separate sources."

Sure, sure they have.

"Story".

The fine people hoax in the news this weekend

Try getting Joe Biden and Ben Shapiro to admit it.

Richard Spencer's cuckery is on display when he attacks Boomer morality when what he really means is Christian morality

Spencer is servile to the hegemony of the status quo just as much as anybody, where publicly attacking religion is still verboten, so he veils it by attaching it to an easier target, a demographic cohort, the new elderly. It's not a coincidence that the godless right and left view the most vulnerable in society as the prime enemies of the good life.

Pace Spencer, the chief impediment to the success of race identity in America isn't ideology. It's capital, stored by the 78 million who own and occupy their homes (73% of whites, 58% of Asians, 47% of Hispanics, 42% of blacks). They don't want violence in the streets in front of their homes no matter what color it takes, whether it comes from Black Lives Matter, Antifa, MS-13, the KKK or Unite the Right. They want law and order. Republicans win when they run on that.

Variety review of Dinesh D'Souza's new movie can't get even recent history right

Here:

At one point, amid all the fringe academics he interviews, D’Souza sits down with Richard Spencer, the white supremacist and alt-right crusader who came to mainstream prominence when he led the May 13, 2017, riots in Charlottesville.

There were no riots in May. Those were in August. And about the only thing Spencer led then was the retreat when the local Democrat authorities gave police a stand down order, effectively giving Antifa the green light to attack.

There is no variety at Variety, just the homogeneity of political correctness, aka fake news.

James Whitman is clearly a man of the left who indicts the entire British patrimony as racist

From an interview Whitman gave to Salon last September:

It is important to note how the United States was not alone in its commitment to the idea of white settler democracy. We find the same phenomenon elsewhere in places colonized by the British. In Australia you see a very similar pattern, New Zealand and South Africa of course, and in Canada as well. That’s part of what I learned in doing the research for this book, and I have to say, it is a troubling and challenging fact that what reemerged with the white supremacists in Charlottesville seems to grow out of a British tradition that we like to think of as a great source of liberty, democracy and equality for the world.

Dinesh D'Souza has been aware for a long time that his source Whitman is a leftist, and he believes Whitman is dishonest because he does not acknowledge the peculiar culpability of southern Democrats in crafting the race laws.

An alt-right taxonomy one year after Charlottesville, and its prospects for survival

Provided by Paul Gottfried, with useful links, in Paul Gottfried: Charlottesville After A Year—As An Outsider, I Think The Alt-Right Far From Finished, from which this excerpt:

Growing racial tensions, reckless immigration and a further weakening of already-weakened social bonds could all help the Alt-Right expand its following.

Part of the Alt Right’s eventual success may come from its anti-traditionalism. The Alt-Right is mostly (but not entirely) anti-Christian and advances a Nietzschean or neo-pagan perspective. It is thereby in sync with the growing secularism of millennials.  

And the Alt-Right doesn’t wear itself out trying to defend the traditional bourgeois family. It appears to be made up largely of young, unattached bloggers. Most of those Alt-Right publicists I read focus on racial conflict or the struggle between civilizations; and they push these themes far more frankly and with less careerist backtracking than the well-paid propagandists of Conservatism, Inc. They also cite telling statistics about racial and gender differences; and they pride themselves on their openness to science as well as on their sometimes vaguely defined “radical traditionalism.”

The Alt-Right belongs to a post-conservative Right. 

This is another way of saying the future success of the alt-right depends on the continued splintering of the American experience occasioned by its enthusiasm for secular ideologies.

Hence the way to defeat the alt-right, if that is what the left really wants, is to reject multiculturalism and participate in unifying the country instead of working toward its demise. And that implies supporting the radical correction of America's immigration laws symbolized and actualized by Donald Trump's wall.

But, of course, that would make too much sense, as little sense as reproducing oneself the old-fashioned way, by marrying and having children.

Idealism, of whatever stripe, is poison, but our thirst for it, unfortunately, is the well nigh inescapable bastard patrimony of our Christian past. 

Or that the charm and venom, which they drunk,

Their blood with secret filth infected hath,

Being diffused through the senseless trunk

That, through the great contagion, direful deadly stunk.

-- Edmund Spenser, The Faerie Queene, Canto II, iv.

Richard Spencer's alt-right flash mob couldn't take over a decent-sized Walgreens let alone DC

They look more like some young Rotarians preparing to march in a street parade than a good imitation even of Roderick Spodes' blackshorts, except their suits are cheap, the shoes don't match and the white shirts signal nothing so much as surrender.  The commie bullhorn at the speaking event was a nice complement to the fascist haircuts, letting everyone know that the inspiration is an anachronism. Get married and have some kids if you want to keep America white. Bunch of larpers.

Video here, self-important, completely out-of-touch-with-reality and ridiculous story here. 

Remember the 10-day march against white supremacy from Charlottesville to DC? Yeah, me neither.

The march was supposed to go from August 27 to September 5 and cover 118 miles.

Apparently walking the 118 miles was something of an impediment to turnout, as was rain. The march even had a police escort to protect participants from supposed threats of violence. No one has suggested that turnout was so low because the march organizers pointedly eschewed violence.

On Saturday the 2nd there were only 80 people still participating.

A person can only sacrifice so much to prevent something so horrible as white supremacy.

NO ONE in CNN focus group minded how Trump responded to Charlottesville incidents

Oops. Party of Violence, call your office.

Like all good tyrants, the president is now in the business of telling us how we must feel

I wonder, what will be the punishment for not showing the requisite affection?

Here:

We must love each other, show affection for each other, and unite together in condemnation of hatred, bigotry, and violence. We must discover the bonds of love and loyalty that bring us together as Americans.

We must, we must, we must, we must increase our bust!

Snapshot of Trump job approval up to the exit of Steve Bannon

Bannon and Conway took over the campaign management just one year ago, and now Bannon is out as chief strategist. Trump is up +1 in the approval average since Charlottesville on the 12th. We'll see what happens now.

Pat Buchanan: Gov. McAwful goes full scalawag

Here at TakiMag:

Two years ago, Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe called the giant statues of Lee and “Stonewall” Jackson on Richmond’s Monument Avenue “parts of our heritage.” After Charlottesville, New York-born-and-bred McAuliffe, entertaining higher ambitions, went full scalawag, demanding the statues be pulled down as “flashpoints for hatred, division, and violence.” Who hates the statues, Terry? Who’s going to cause the violence? Answer: The Democratic left whom Terry must now appease. McAuliffe is echoed by Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam, the Democratic candidate in November to succeed McAuliffe. GOP nominee Ed Gillespie wants Monument Avenue left alone. The election is the place to decide this, but the left will not wait. ... Like ISIS ... the new barbarism has come to America. This is going to become a blazing issue, not only between but within the parties.
