It’s science, goyim.
Numbers and stuff.
This writer, Jonathan Morgan, has previously called us “a terrorist organization in the making.”
Jonathan Morgan: If we didn’t have men that looked like this, we wouldn’t have all these problems in the first place.
This article reads like an SPLC piece.
WaPo doesn’t believe in standards.
Regardless of who triumphs at the ballot box, the biggest winner of this presidential election may be the alt-right: a sprawling coalition of reactionary conservatives who have lobbied to make the United States more “traditional,” more “populist” and more white.
…
There are, of course, many factions in the alt-right, some of them more radical than others. We observe two primary groups within the alt-right’s extended Twitter network: garden-variety racists, who complain about mixed-race couples, are proud of their Scots-Irish heritage, and use hashtags such as “#WhiteWomenAreMagic,” and violent extremists, who call for genocide against Jews, the killing of Muslims and African Americans, and even threaten to lynch President Obama.
Disturbingly, the social media activity of these users suggests that more and more are transitioning into that second, violent group.
This is of course libel. Except it isn’t because he isn’t talking about a person, but an unspecific group of people.
But “words suggest they may be violent” doesn’t translate to “is violent.”
Using machine-learning algorithms to interpret the language in Twitter profile descriptions, and computer vision algorithms to identify pro-Nazi symbols in profile avatars, my colleagues at New Knowledge and I identified more than 3,500 radical extremists among the larger network of 27,000 accounts that are associated with the alt-right.
Many hundreds of users display the swastika, while others choose alternative symbols associated with hate groups, such as the Celtic cross, the Iron cross and the insignia of the Nazi paramilitary group Schutzstaffel, also known as the SS. Many others explicitly declare their allegiance to neo-Nazi and white separatist movements in the text of their profiles by proclaiming “white pride,” or explicitly identifying themselves as “white nationalists.”
Almost everyone in the alt-right network is an enthusiastic and vocal supporter of Trump, though the core group of extremists is more likely to mention their race, white nationalism and national socialism than any presidential candidate.
Using recent advances in machine-assisted text analysis, we quantified this racist, xenophobic, anti-Semitic and violent perspective based on the context in which authors use relevant keywords. For example, in typical English, like a mainstream newspaper article, the word “Jewish” is statistically similar to words such as “Muslim” and “Christian,” meaning that mainstream authors usually rely on the word “Jewish” to describe someone or something religious.
On the other hand, in tweets by white extremists, the word “Jewish” is used in a totally different context, where it is statistically similar to words such as“communist,” “homosexual,” “anti-white,” and “satanic.” White extremists are therefore more likely to use the word “Jewish” to signify something they hate, rather than as a religious description.
This is no surprise, but it provides an objective metric for understanding how the white extremist perspective diverges from the mainstream: Essentially, by analyzing the statistical use of the word “Jewish,” we can assign a given Twitter user a score that quantifies his ideological similarity to Twitter’s most violent, extreme alt-right users.
How is a normal reader of WaPo going to not pick-up on the fact the WaPo is equivilizing using the word “Jewish” on twitter with extreme violence?
When the radicalization score is applied to tweets from the broader alt-right network, it’s clear that the entire white nationalist community is embracing an increasingly extreme ideology. The social media content of the alt-right in July was 25 percent more radicalized than it was in January, and the rate of radicalization is increasing exponentially.
Well. Okay.
But what does that have to do with using the word “Jewish” being a form of extreme violence?
He’s got a cute little graph:
Looking more closely at one of these communities in particular, it’s possible to see the journey from casual racism to more extremist typically associated with violence.
This community of 5,225 users is tightly clustered inside the larger network, indicating a high degree of communication between its members. The tweets published by members of this community indicate a perspective that is 63 percent radicalized, and that has become increasingly radicalized over the past nine months.
In January, the word “Jewish” hardly appears. When it does, the context reveals an undercurrent of casual, but not aggressive, racism.
By July, the tone has changed: The word “Jewish” appears in tweets from hundreds of accounts, and its usage implies a belief in large-scale conspiracy, racial antagonism and even explicit support for Hitler.
LOL
In six months they went from zero to GAS THE KIKES!
At least he calls out the kike liar Milo as a hoaxer.
There’s a tendency, on both the right and the left, to dismiss these sorts of tweets as idle chatter or “trolling.” Writing in Breitbart in March, for instance, the alt-right icons Allum Bokhari and Milo Yiannopoulos described the movement’s most toxic messaging as “satire” and “mischief” aimed at generating outrage.
Recent experience shows us, however, that this interpretation could not be further from the truth. Individuals ideologically aligned with extremist white nationalists are responsible for repeated incidents of violence online and offline — including the high-profile hacking of comedian Leslie Jones’s website, the killing of a Lebanese man in Tulsa, the stabbing of a mix-raced couple in Olympia, Wash., and most horrifically, the mass shooting at a black church in Charleston, S.C. In fact, until the nightclub shootings in Orlando, white extremists had committed more attacks and killed more Americans than jihadist extremists since 9/11.
HAHAHA.
THEY JUST KEEP SAYING THIS!
IT’S INSANE!
Morgan closes by giving advice to federal agents on how to deal with the situation: recruit the leaders as informants to give a counter-narrative.
By understanding these alt-right communities on Twitter, it may be possible to slow their march toward radicalization. For example, that community of 5,225 users — the one that has become 63 percent more radicalized since January — has adopted anti-Semitic rhetoric, but hasn’t adopted the language of extremist communities that openly advocate for violence. Targeted interventions with influential members of this group could be a promising model for reducing the overall amount of radicalization online.
Increasingly, experts agree, the more effective way to do this is to cultivate “counter narratives” that try to undermine the promises of radical ideologies – for instance, dispelling the myth of a utopic caliphate in Syria, or a white nationalist state in the United States. These, in turn, are most effective when they’re delivered by an “authentic voice” — someone who is already respected by the target extremist community. One promising recent effort, a partnership between Facebook, Twitter, Google, the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, and the nonprofit ExitUSA, persuaded at least eight people to leave the white supremacy movement after viewing videos from former supremacists who now reject extremism.
…
Of course, building these relationships is not easy and to many may be unpalatable. But the alternative to engagement is less palatable still: We may find ourselves watching idly as the alt-right slides further into violent extremism.
Remember this. It’s important. If you see people switching-up their rhetoric and saying “don’t blame the Jews, let’s just ease up” they are likely involved in a federal program of some kind.
I have come to believe that Milo is most likely working with the ADL and the FBI to “counter” our narrative and corrupt our movement. Of course, he’s getting all of his fame and fortune as well, but it is clear that someone other than him is tailoring his message, writing his speeches and articles and so on.
Beyond this goal, the goal of the feds is to sow discord in the ranks. This is done by people inserted to constantly accuse everyone of being a shill, a part of a conspiracy, whatever. You can pretty much count on the fact that anyone who spends more time attacking others in the movement than attacking the Jews is working with the feds.
We are a big movement now, kids. We’ve got a massive government apparatus/Jewish apparatus working to SHUT IT DOWN.
How They Getcha
The way the FBI works is that they come to you and say they just want to help you, make sure you don’t get blamed for some Dylann Roof-type scenario. But really, you can’t get blamed for that anyway. The SPLC allegedly proved that Dylann Roof was a regular commenter on this site, and nothing happened. I didn’t get charged with anything. What can I be charged with?
What did happen, however, is that they sent an FBI agent – an informant recruiter trained in Israel – to try and be friends with me.
I wrote about this. I’m not stupid.
What they want to do is get you to talk to them, then get you to talk enough to put you in a situation where they claim they can charge you with something (it’s probably not just a claim), and then they have you and start telling you what to do. You have to follow orders or they can arrest you.
I know for a fact this has happened with several people who some of you read. Be aware of that fact. I’m not going to name any names, but understand a very simple principle: if anything seems extremely counterproductive or destructive to our agenda, there is probably a reason for it beyond “they have personal problems.”
You aren’t going to be able to just figure out who’s working with feds and who isn’t by “getting a feeling.” You have to look at what they’re doing.
Non-stop drama, distracting from the Jewish issue, watering down the message – all of these things should be looked at extremely suspiciously.
And hey – if anyone asks you for a list of gangs you’ve been in, your criminal history, or pictures of your tattoos – you should probably think that through pretty good before you send that information.
