What a baseless accusation. Did you even bother listening to the podcast linked in the article or consider that a centralized directory hosted by a major company might be cause for concern? Last I checked he does a current podcast with an ADOS member discussing everything from reparations to current events... Throwing this sort of stuff out there is irresponsible.

You not liking it != baseless. Similarly, hosting a podcast with a black person doesn’t, a priori, preclude you being alt right.

  And similarly, throwing out the term “went full alt-right” without providing any references at all does not make something true/a responsible statement. I can see already that this is going to be a fruitless conversation based on feelings rather than evidence.

      I am sure I'm not the only one who would actually appreciate some insight into where this accusation comes from. Not very familiar with the guy but have heard him on other podcasts before, and did not expect there to be such widespread distaste for him here. Can you help sort me & others out?

  Which of the many definitions of alt-right are you using?
dguaraglia 6y ago
I have. And the poster is right: Adam Curry's other podcast (No Agenda) can accurately be described as right-wing propaganda. If you don't believe me, I challenge you to listen to the show for a week and find anything positive they might say about anyone who isn't a Republican in Trump's orbit.

  There's a massive difference between right wing and alt right
  - dguaraglia 6y ago
    Is there, though? What are the main differences do you see between the alt-right 'platform' (as it were) and today's Republican party's platform?
    - nailer 6y ago
      Yes there is. Look up 'alt right'. The Republican party is not arguing for a white ethno state. Hell the democrats are led by Joe Biden who believes in segregation (see Biden's 'jungle' comments about school desegregation), by that standard they're more alt right than the republicans are.

        Trump literally lost a court case because he wouldn't allow black people into his buildings [1]. But sure, let's talk about how Democrats are the real racists...
