Not until AFTER you came in ASSUMING the association.
As I said --- it's instructive that you volunteered.
he was painting everyone to the right of the political spectrum as "alt-right racist hurr durr" in all of his other spam posts on the topic. His intent is clear.
You obviously approve of his ham handed methods.
Once AGAIN as already noted --- that broad brush is an assumption
you made. It's not there in the post
You want to know who "alt right" refers to --- go look at who clicked "funny on my last post", and then look up what his name means. Go look up Steve McRacist's avatar. Go look up Odium and the various Hitlerists that have been oozing into this site.
That's who
they are. If you choose to see
them as "we", well that's on you.
Again, supporting their right to expression is not approval or acceptance of their position. It is TOLERATING their position, i.e. not trying to suppress it.
They undoubtedly have a right to their opinion under Free Speech protections. They aren't free from consequences. #FreeMilo as a hashtag came about as the #AltRight protesting the banning of one of their own after he incited his followers to harass Leslie Jones, something that is still going down as we speak here. He paid for his actions with loss of access to Twitter, which is where the AltRight seems to really enjoy hanging out. Brief Aside: Twitter sucks for many many reasons.
This all entered the conversation not because these guys are new. They're not. It's also not because they represent the GOP as a whole. They don't. It because Trump is pretty openly catering to them and that needs to be called out. A lot of folks have racist friends in their past. We aren't far past Robert Byrd (D) and Strom Thurmond (R) as influential politicians and they were both racist as hell and still have proteges and colleagues in power on both sides. The issue is someone currently running currently catering to some racist cyber bullies. That's problematic in a lot of ways.
First of all, YOU are assigning Milo to the 'alt-right", thus falling into the tactic you are denying. He's a gay guy, and the guys you lump right leaning people into, the actual white nationalists, probably don't have anything good to say about gay people, especially flaming ones like Milo.
Second, your definition of "inciting" is basically "Milo said some mean things, then Milo's followers said some meaner things, so lets ban Milo". I have a feeling plenty of SJW's can have the same thing said about them, but when lefties do it, its not hate, its "passion".
