Go to the site and have a look at "Featured Creators": Stormfront, Daily Stormer and Richard Spencer will be recognizable to anyone these days. Most of the rest (like Andrew Auernheimer aka Weev) are recognizable to the more online of us. Should make the name and the trollish nature of the name make more sense to know that. It isn't not serious.
It was invite only at the beginning, marketed as the place for the alt-right when Patreon enforced their policies on some high profile people, and those invites went out to specific people so take their whole "open to anyone with no speech limits" with a mountain of salt.
- noobermin 9y ago"Free Speech" has become in the current vernacular as merely being right wing hate speech.
- freshhawk 9y agoI'm convinced that is partly a tactic like the milk and OK sign stuff. Partly serious and based on a real disagreement about hate speech, partly laughing at embracing something and watching everyone else decide that now they have to absolutely denounce it. Then they do something like organize a campaign of complaints against leftist and vocal anti-alt-right Prof. Ciccariello-Maher at Drexel for his speech, get him put on leave, and laugh at the centrist and leftist rubes falling over themselves in confusion.
