Discord Bans Servers That Promote Nazi Ideology (theverge.com)
A popular video game chat service with over 25 million users announced today that it had shut down "a number of accounts" following violence instigated by white supremacists over the weekend. Discord, the service "which lets users chat with voice and text, was being used by proponents of Nazi ideology both before and after the attacks in Charlottesville, Virginia," reports The Verge. "We will continue to take action against Nazi ideology, and all forms of hate," the company said in a tweet. From the report: Discord declined to state how many servers had been affected, but said it included a mix of old accounts and accounts that were created over the weekend. Among the affected servers was one used by AltRight.com, a white nationalist news site. The site's homepage includes a prominent link to a Discord chat which is now broken. The company said it does not read private messages exchanged on its servers. Members of those groups reported messages in the chats for violating Discord's terms of service, the company said, and it took action. "When hatred like this violates our community standards we act swiftly to take servers down and ban individual users," the company said in a statement. "The public server linked to AltRight.com that violated those terms was shut down along with several other public groups and accounts fostering bad actors on Discord. We will continue to be aggressive to ensure that Discord exists for the community we set out to support -- gamers."
Texas A&M University just canceled the scheduled "Unite the Right" rally that was set for 9/11 and now Discord is closing down Nazi accounts on a game chat service.
It's hard out there for "white male discontent".
You are welcome on my lawn.
Hate to tell you this, dipshit, but ISIS is as conservative as they come.... probably even more-so than the evangelicals here in the US. It's not religion that's the problem so much as it's the fucking authoritarian bent conservatives who take charge of it.
Fascism: An authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization. See also: NAZI's
Here, let me help you with this. It's called False Equivalence: a logical fallacy in which two opposing arguments appear to be logically equivalent when in fact they are not.
For those of us above the left-right divide, the equivalence isn't remotely false. The "antifa" idiots have done far more damage than right-wingers in the last 7 months. Take a look at Berkeley when Milo was going to speak, for instance. Did anyone talk about taking down their servers because of violence?
I hate fascists - whether they're on the right or "antifa". When there's a boot on your neck you don't really care who it's attached to.
Do you have ESP?
do you have a source that is a reputable news organization for that?
Which part? The ACLU just confirmed that the police were told to stand down, and the permanent eye damage thing comes directly from the victim.

Here's a direct quote from a Finnish man on vacation who observed the situation:
I was expecting to enter a peaceful protest to protect this monument and part of United States history from utter and total rewriting. I entered with people from the United States who were aware there were going to be counter-protesters. They promised to keep me safe, which they did. But what happened was, the police force, which should have kept the protesting parties separate, in fact funneled the right-wing protesters, the people defending the monument, right into Antifa, [making them run] a gauntlet of Antifa to the monument Then – I don’t know the details of it – on dubious legal grounds, [the police] declared the gathering of right-wing protesters unlawful. We were forced to leave the venue and run another gauntlet.
Call me jaded, but I don't think we'll find accurate reporting on *anything* about this incident from the MSM.
"Nazi ideology"? Use of that term is a joke.
The AltRight is not about Nazi ideology. Spencer has addressed the topic at length for anyone who actually cares, which clearly most don't since they just want to spew shit against any movement that unites the interests of native European peoples.
Basically anyone who doesn't support open borders, unlimited immigration, and ethnic replacement = Nazi.
This thread only proves many of the AltRight's basic points.
