GoDaddy Expels Neo-Nazi Site Over Article On Charlottesville Victim (bbc.co.uk)
Reader Big Hairy Ian writes: Web hosting company GoDaddy has given a US neo-Nazi site 24 hours to find another provider after it disparaged a woman who died in protests in Virginia. The Daily Stormer published a piece denigrating Heather Heyer, who was killed on Saturday after a car rammed into a crowd protesting at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville. GoDaddy had faced calls to remove the white supremacist site as a result. The web host said the Daily Stormer had violated its terms of service. "We informed the Daily Stormer that they have 24 hours to move the domain to another provider, as they have violated our terms of service," GoDaddy said in a statement on Twitter. Previously, some web users had called on GoDaddy to remove the site -- including women's rights campaigner Amy Siskind. Violence broke out in Charlottesville, Virginia, after white supremacists organised a controversial far-right march called "Unite the Right".
We've been through this before. Some of you younger Slashdotters may not be old enough to have had a parent who was alive in the 1940s.
There's only one way to deal with Nazis.
You are welcome on my lawn.
A corporation doesn't have to put up with things they find objectionable. There are other options for those pushing hate and GoDaddy is certainly in the right here.
I agree. But Progressives can't have it both ways by cheering GoDaddy in this instance while siccing the government on Christian bakeries.
This has got to be the greatest PR con job ever.
Nazis, aka National -Socialists-, are NOT far right.
They are of the Left. Perhaps right of communism, but still far left. Maybe on the Right as far as europe is concerned, since that whole continent is on the left.
Fascism is also of the Left. Right of communism, but still of the left.
All 3, National Socialism, Fascism, and Communism are all about state/federal control of the economies and peoples.
None of that is the purview of the right.
The tragedy in charlottesville is two sides of the same leftist coin fighting each other since the 20th century (or earlier).
Then you have the Alt-Right, which also isn't the right. It's still a bunch of liberals (albeit it more moderate) who perhaps somewhat enjoy government intrusion in their lives and the market place, but have gotten fed up with the identity politics of the ideological whack jobs of the left putting them in convenient buckets to exploit or make targets.
The media keeps lumping all these groups (except the anarchocommies of antifa and the bernie bros) as "right wing", when they are far from the limited government, embracing of individuality, believers in personally responsibility, and believers in equal opportunity that is the tenants of the -actual- Right.
Which is especially ironic considering that the Antifa are, in fact, facists. :)
Life is not for the lazy.
When it comes to riots between otherwise obsolete and ignored bigots and counter protestors, and the ensuing mayhem, I think it's important to remember one phrase: Do not feed the trolls.
The best thing that ever happened to racist red-necks is Charlottesville. They reminded the world that they still exist, and while they cannot hold a job or participate in civilized society (and evidently are quite bitter about it), they demonstrate that they manage to eke out an existence on the fringes. That in turn will give some young red necklet hope for his future. Don't be a part of that. Ignore them, move on and leave them behind. Most of them will never change, but the young and mutable can weigh the life they will have to lead as a professionally oppressed white man against just living a life, and I have a feeling make better choices for themselves, mostly.
Do not feed the trolls.
The Nazis all voted for Trump. They were even doing Trump cosplay down in Charlottesville.
Here is a photograph of the Charlottesville murderer, James Alex Fields (center), and his friends, wearing Donald Trump's signature golf costume, white polo shirt and khaki golf pants. It's their fucking uniform for chrissake.
The "new-age Nazis" are alt-right Trump supporters.

It wasn't an attack by the driver. It was an attack on the driver who subsequently panicked and drove into a crowd. Also, this driver was actually a member of the counter rally. He drove over his own side.
So, to you, pointing out that Antifa is just as bad as those they claim to be fighting means that the writer is part of the "alt-right:".
You are a fucking bigot. You are the embodiment of, "Us vs. Them".
What? Are you part of Antifa? Have you stood in the road shouting that it is your street?
When Fascism comes to America, it will call itself Anti-Fascism, and tell you to give up your guns.
