Has political correctness actually gone mad?

Tbf, he does incite violence (which is a crime) rather than simply spew hatred (which is not).
This is true. Although I'd say the line between the two can be a little blurry. Which is interesting when you consider that this line can be the difference between 5 years in jail or not committing a crime at all.
That's literally been the FBI's tactics to catch domestic Muslim potential terrorists for a decade. I'm too lazy right now but Glenn Greenwald/others at the Intercept have many stories.
That guy has mental tattoos, like an extra from Romper Stomper.

Jaysus. I'd happily lock him up and throw away the key, if it was up to me.
I do wonder if tattoists actually question the sobriety or mental state of someone who wants say a massive bloodsoaked swastika tattoo on their body.
Not sure I can buy it. I don't know that they like Trump because of failure-in-success thing, or that they celebrate anything other than success. The reason they latched onto Trump's success (rather than, say, Bill Gates) was because it was far more subversive to the mainstream narrative to say that you support Trump than to support Gates' supposed war on poverty (apart from agreeing with him about Muslims and agreeing with his subtext about women).

Worth checking both these two interviews with Angela Nagle
Is the interviewer in that second one drinking through a straw, by a microphone? Manners, dude.

Skirts: It's what God would have wanted, anyway.What's Christian about a skirt then?
It's the long lost twelfth commandment; thou shalt not wear pants, if thou a woman art.
I think Jesus later expanded it to allow yoga pants in one of the lost gospels.
have you seen women in those pants? Clearly a sin, because they look delicious. 
Identity politics.
Use of the word "goyim" makes me think that was done by the alt right.
Identity politics.
Possibly, and the Jewish part (not the white part) fits in well with their worldview, but it does highlight the danger of purely race-based messages. There seems to be a significant minority campaigning for things like hostel segregation based on minority rights, and it scares me.
44% of Jewish Americans are in the top 1%?
What definition of Jewish is this?

Yup, I'm very surprised too. Because of your post, I googled, and it's false: http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/226826 (Of course it's the Jews saying it, so who knows!!!!!OMG)
This poster was found all over a university in Chicago (for context).
The desire to tie in the anti-establishment movement with antisemitism seems familiar.
German newspaper backtracks after listing Netanyahu as a ‘crazy world leader’
A German newspaper was forced to remove the name of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from a list of the world’s craziest leaders following diplomatic pressure.
Hamburger Morgenpost had included Netanyahu in a list of “The Seven Craziest Leaders in the World” because he promotes settlement policies and because he tried to convince former US President Barack Obama to attack Iran.
As a result, the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent a complaint to the German government and the Israeli embassy in Berlin criticised the newspaper and said in a statement that this is an “anti-Semitic” act.
“The fact that they put an elected prime minister of a democratic Western country… alongside some of the worst dictators in the world, reveals more than anything the newspaper’s level of understanding of what is happening today in the world,” the embassy said in a statement, according to Israel’s Ynet News.
The newspaper was then forced to remove Netanyahu from the list and apologised for including him.
“It was wrong to make @netanyahu part of this list. We apologise,” the newspaper announced.

Crazy leaders
- Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei
- North Korea’s Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un
- Philippines’ President Rodrigo Duterte
- Russian President Vladimir Putin
- Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad
- Zimbabwe’s Robert Mugabe
Israel is above reproach, you know.
It is tedious how any criticism of their dubious foreign policy is dismissed as anti-semitic.
Lol, I tried and failed to find a better pic.
It's T_D quoting some 4chan guy talking about how leftists thrive only in censored spaces.
And then the rest of the pic is all the deleted replies in the T_D thread.

I wasn't sure if this belongs in the Trump thread or here, but I think it would be of more interest to the people that frequent this thread. 538 analysis of /r/the_donald and the closest subreddits to it (and the closets subreddits to the Sanders/Hilary ones). Unsurprisingly, the results aren't pretty.

Interesting. Although does seem to be stating the bleeding obvious/ /r/the_donald is crammed full of misogynst, racist wankers (I want to see the data working out what % of them still live in their parent's basement).
The overlap with /r/fatpeoplehate was a little surprising, tbf. Perhaps like Donald himself, it's some kind of narcissistic self hatred.
Fatpeoplehate was one of the original grounds for the "free speech" fight on reddit, it's very much a part of the softer alt-right (Milo, etc).
very interesting. Thanks for posting that.

It's only a slap on the wrist really, but having a criminal record for that seems too much.
