Like Trudeau having little old ladies whisked away by the rack-em-ups during town halls because they dared question his reckless immigration policy? For sure.
Yep. I've made my opinion of Trudeaubama clear repeatedly. He's not up to the job.

Or threatening church members for going to church while encouraging the leftists to mass protest and engage in mass violence? For sure.
I'll need an example.

Wait, is going to church a 1st Amendment thing? Or is that a different right the leftists are stomping all over?
For Protestant Christians, yes. It's called the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment. Sadly, it has been violated regularly for people who are not Protestant Christians, both by official government action and by government officials using their positions to whip up the mobs.

Again you're willfully ignorant.

The alt-right named and created itself.

The left did no such thing.

That's literally it, the only truth, end of debate.
Oh I see, so YOU have to call yourself something before it's a legitimate name. If that's the case then there's no such thing as a nazi. That's a name the West gave to the party. It's not a name they adopted for themselves. Particularly when you understand the term "nazi" was used as shortened form of Ignace, which was an insult in German. Of course I'm sure your incredible poli-sci education neglected to mention that because they were too busy convincing you that the Democrats aren't racist. :lol:



But let's go back to basics. NDP are ALT-left. The Green Party-ALT-left. Social Democrats- ALT-left They are ALTERNATIVES to the standard liberals and democrats. Sorry you lack the cognitive ability to understand that very basic concept. Although sadly the Liberals and Democrats have been infested by the likes of your braying ALT-left ilk.

Kentucky was taking down licence plates of those going to church to force them into quarantine. Mayor DeBlasio said he would permanently shut churches down that remained open for services. Funny how he has no problem with the mass protests in his city though.

It does indeed. Let's define it.
I'll start. The alt-left, as opposed to the left, is characterised by the following positions:
1. Identifying people by the groups to which they belong, as assigned by the alt-left (e.g., Black, White, women, trans, FN (Native), etc.
2. Opposition to financial reward for producing substantial financial gain. Strong tendency toward "equalizing outcomes."
3. Support of "equalizing" laws based on government-mandated special treatment of the groups to which one is assigned and the past treatment of those groups (obviously, emphasizing the disadvantages of those groups).
4. Confidence in and support of government regulation and intrusion at all levels, provided it is in service of alt-left goals.
5. Equal or more equal distribution of resources, untethered from one's role in producing those resources (i.e., money).
6. Government control of the distribution of resources.
7. Use of government power to suppress "undesirable" ideas.
8. Presentation of the following characteristics as inherently evil: Caucasian, Christian, male, heterosexual, above-median family income.
Anything else?
NB: I'll be happy to work with anybody who wants to develop a consensus definition of the "alt-right" as wel.
Start a list. You have done pretty good so far. Just a thought- would a person have to be christian to be alt-right or would any religious fanatic do?

Hmm. . . I'd say Christian, atheist, or agnostic. Considering the alt-right wants government action against Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, etc., I don't suppose many of them will be joining up.

I dunno about the US but in Canada, no they aren't. But it's not about that anymore. The extreme left eschews religion other than its own ideology. To them, that is the ONLY permissible religion. The same is true of the extreme right as well. The state is the "church" and the head of state is "god".


As an aside but somewhat related to the garbage Tyger-not-too-bright has been posting, anyone else remember when Chretien was PM and the G20 summit was in BC? Remember how after the RCMP pepper sprayed a bunch of peaceful protesters (among other things) Chretien said he didn't know what the problem was, he likes a little pepper on his steak?


But yeah, only horrible ALT-right nazis sic the feds on peaceful protesters.

They were in violation of Kentucky's public-health order. Consistent with a long line of Supreme Court cases that hold that government action that impinges upon freedom of worship is OK as long as it was taken for a non-religious purpose, e.g., making possession of peyote illegal despite its use as a sacramental drug by some religions, and enforcing animal-cruelty laws on certain religious dietary and sacrificial practices.

Mayor DeBlasio said he would permanently shut churches down that remained open for services. Funny how he has no problem with the mass protests in his city though.
Wrong and stupid, but ultimately an empty threat. No court would allow that.

Please don't get to thinking I think much of deBlasio.

Mmmm there are elements within the muslim community that would certainly fit into the ALT-right category based on their close ties/connections to the teachings of Otto Skorzeny.

I think they're OK with any religion that fits their agenda. Druidism and such, provided the particulars are all mama-Gaia and LGBTQRSTUVWXYZ-friendly.

I've met some muslims whose views on social policy rival the hard core christians for non inclusive.

Pretty much why they won't be welcome in a state with Christian trappings.

Not because they're religious fascists, because they're fascists of the wrong religion.
Nicely put. You should check out the Frank Zappa song, 'Dumb All Over'.


Here's the lyrics from the first two verses.


Whoever we are, wherever we're from
We should'a noticed by now, our behavior is dumb
And if our chances expect to improve
It's gonna take more, than trying to remove the other race
Or the other whatever, from the face
Of the planet altogether

They call it THE EARTH, which is a dumb kinda name
But they named it right, 'cause we behave the same...
We are dumb all over
Dumb all over, yes we are
Dumb all over, near an' far
Dumb all over, black an' white
People, we is not wrapped tight

If I have a religion at all, it's veneration of St. Frank.
