From Garrydose to Lathamite.

Racist posters have been appearing across Sydneys inner-west this week depictingAsians, the Apex gang and high-profileMuslim Australians like Yassmin Abdel-Magied and Waleed Aly as Pokemon. Designed to look like Pokemon cards, the posters read Gotta catch & deport em all. One poster of Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young reads gotta catch &hang em all.

The posters are tied to a group calledAussie Nationalists (though they deny distributingthem) and NSW Police are currently looking into the matter. A representative of the group has said they may be making more and intend to raise awareness as to what is happening to Australia through mass immigration and the Chinese buy-out and the anti-Australians we have in parliament and on our TV networks.

In short: its fucked. Its full-blown racism and abusein the streets, and a depressing yet accurate reflection of a huge part of Australian culture right now. Both Abdel-Magied and Hanson-Young have publicly condemned the posters.Junkee writer Patrick Marlborough, on the other hand, figured if anyone was going to be reduced towild caricatures it shouldprobably besome of the peoplespreading the hate.

A Guide To The Brand New Australian Alt-Right Pokemon Starter Deck - Junkee

After the culture wars of Western politics went online and were appropriated by Millennials, something strange happened. You could see it when Jeopardy! champion and Twitter personality Arthur Chu surveyed the phenomenon of young men pushing against the influence of feminist criticism on their entertainment and declared, As a dude who cares about feminism sometimes I want to join all men arm-in-arm & then run off a cliff and drag the whole gender into the sea. Those on the left side of these wars claimed to be victims as individuals even though, as a collective, they were capable of bullying people out of their jobs and harassing them to to the point of suicide. Taught by self-esteem con artists and childrens media that everyone is special in their own way, this generation in turn taught itself that everyone is oppressed in their own way.

It is partly such a mindset that Angela Nagle, in her new book Kill All Normies, says the multifarious alt-right is defining itself against. Nagles delightfully short treatment of this movement is stuffed with charming asides, the most endearing of which asserts her openness to the possibility that her tour through the ironical in-jokey maze of meaning created by the right-wing activists may document nothing more than a strange and passing moment.

Nagles definition of the alt-right phenomenon is helpfully expansive. For her, the movement is broader than white nationalists such as Richard Spencer. It encompasses the larger constellation of right-wing-populist, new-media phenoms such as Milo Yiannopolous and Lauren Southern, as well as neo-Reactionary thinkers such as Nick Land and Mencius Moldbug. And its culture was fed by the transgressive message boards of 4chan, the strange pickup-artist scene, and South Park conservatives.

Nagle has many arch observations. This right wing learns quickly from the online Left and imitates or parodies its tactics. The movements transgressive performances are a way of effecting its final detachment from any egalitarian philosophy of the left or Christian morality of the right. And its commitment to itself as a vanguard means it has rejected Buckleyite conservatives belief that the masses were their naturally traditionalist allies. (If one imagines where Milo would line up politically in terms of the infamous William F. Buckley v. Gore Vidal televised presidential debates of 1968, Nagle writes at one point, It would probably be closer to that of Vidal, whose libertinism and mischievous gay rhetorical style was so abhorrent to Buckley.)

Kill All Normies is just as sharp, and perhaps twice as cutting, when it observes the young online Left. At points, Nagle dances close to suggesting that the Left brought this on itself: After crying wolf throughout these years, calling everyone from saccharine pop stars to Justin Trudeau a white supremacist and everyone who wasnt With Her a sexist, the real wolf eventually arrived.

Nagle quotes Marxist critic Mark Fischers observation that the online Left is driven by a priests desire to excommunicate and condemn, an academic-pedants desire to be the first to be seen to spot a mistake, and a hipsters desire to be one of the in-crowd. She then adds that the witch-hunting tactics that shame people into silence have the effect of creating social and economic scarcity in an online world where virtue is treated as currency. If everyone has value in this medium of exchange, then the only way to accrue more yourself is to burn a few friends.

Even though I appreciated the brevity of Nagles book, I did want a little more. We know what Nagle thinks of the role the young online Left had in summoning this beast. We know less about the role that people in real positions of authority in education, media, and even organized religion played in the same accident. The style of counterculture may be superficial, but it exercises a powerful hold on the imagination of those that enter it and those that oppose it. Although nobody was planning it, the messages extant in the culture said that you had to be a rebel to be truly authentic, while to be good you had to conform to ever-more elaborate norms defined by a new class of campus deans and human-resource administrators. Every culture has its contradictions, but this was bound to bewilder people; unsurprisingly, many of them decided it was better to be real and bad than tame and good.

Kill All Normies focuses on whats happening online, but looking at this culture of young people sharing transgressive images on 4chan and beta males paying money to pickup artists this culture that occasionally leads its adherents to racialist ideology I wonder about whats happening offline.

Nagles book mentions the figure of Canadian professor Jordan B. Peterson, who has become something like a surrogate father figure to many in the constellation of the alt-right and beyond it. Peterson came to prominence after opposing a new Canadian law that concerned the use of novel, ideological pronouns like xir. But for those who watch his YouTube videos, hes built almost a portal to taking responsibility for yourself, feeling like an adult, and even entering the life of the mind. His advice begins with the encouragement to clean up your room.

In the way it acts out to get attention, in the way it tries to shock people, and even in its ideological promiscuity, the alt-right gives me the strong impression of being a movement of orphans. Theyre on the Internet all the time. Who abandoned them IRL?

A music video released Wednesday depicts an alt-right Nazi getting beaten up and tortured, with the vocalist shouting you just got knocked the fuck out and calling President Donald Trump racist.

The action and comments appeared in metal band Stray From The Paths music video Goodnight Alt-right, which portrays a man who owns a poster of Adolf Hitler and watches alt-right leader Richard Spencer getting savaged by two other men resembling antifascist protesters.

Speech is free but it comes with a price and if youre speaking out some bullshit Ill give you advice, shouts vocalist Drew York during one segment of the song. Hit em with a left, a left and a right. Got em dropping like flies with the stars in their eyes.

WATCH:

You just got knocked the fuck out. The punishment fits the crime, York says in the chorus. So keep your hand held high and youll find out why that this raised fist aint afraid to fly.

Sumerian Records, a metal record label, published the video to YouTube during a year fraught with violence from antifascistprotesters against Trump supporters. (RELATED: Antifa And Trump Supporters Battle At Berkeley)

Music Video Depicts Alt-Right Nazi Getting Beaten Up, Tortured - The Daily Caller

For anyone whod cherished the impossible dream that Milo Yiannopoulos would suffer for his sins, his triumphant resurrection in recent days must come as an irksome and chasteningspectacle.

It turns out that even Yiannopouloss most hateful outragesbursts of racism, misogyny, Islamophobia, anti-Semitism and self-loathing homophobia, delivered with campy performance skills, preening contempt and a posh English accentare irresistible catnip to the media-political complex.

Even Bill Maherwho absorbed a raft of criticism for his kid-glove treatment of Yiannopoulos during his Feb. 17 appearance on Mahers Real Time HBO showis courting the alt-rights most notorious troll for a return engagement.

Yet a few days after Yiannopouloss lovefest with Maher five months ago, it all came crashing down. He was forced to resign in disgrace from his nominal technology editor job at Breitbart News, lost a $255,000 book deal, and was disinvited from a prominent speaking role at the Conservative Political Action Conferenceall for defending the criminal practice of pedophilia on an all but forgotten podcast.

But now, after an indecent interval, Yiannopoulos is back with a vengeance. (After agreeing toand then decliningan interview request, then offering to respond to written questions through his personal publicist, he provided no comment for this story.)

The right is now willing to embrace and celebrate anybody whos willing to back Trump, and Milos a hateful, stupid, British, pederasty-loving version of Ann Coulter, said a former Breitbart staffer who asked not to be named so as not to become a target of Milos army of Twitter trolls and Facebook trolls.

The difference is that Ann uses shock value in pursuit of substance, and for Milo, its shock value in pursuit of Milo, this staffer said.

Now Yiannopoulos is busily promoting Dangerous, a memoir-meets-manifesto that he self-published on Amazon, where it has reportedly sold 100,000 copiesin pre-publication orders after Simon & Schusters conservative Threshold Editions imprint canceled it amid the pedophilia controversy.

Yiannopoulos filed a $10 million lawsuit last Friday against the CBS-owned publisher, which called the suit "publicity driven and entirely without merit."

Meanwhile, his recently formed and mysteriously funded live entertainment company, Milo Inc., has spent lavishly on advertising, including a huge billboard in Manhattans Times Square neighborhood and on Facebook.

The Washington, D.C., Metro authorities removed the Dangerous ads from the underground stations after protests from offended commuters.

Milo Inc. also financed a garish New York book party July 6 that featured frolicking, g-stringed strippers shedding head-to-toe black burkas, yarmulke-wearing dancing midgets sporting Ben Shapiro nametags (a symbolic assault on one of Yiannopouloss more vehement conservative antagonists, a display dubbed anti-Semitic by CNN anchor Jake Tapper), lusty chants of Fuck CNN! from the millennial wingnut partygoers, and a smugly grinning guest appearance by avaricious pharma exec Martin Shkreli, currently on trial on federal charges of securities fraud.

Milo Inc. is widely believed in conservative circles to have been bankrolledto the tune of $12 million, Yiannopoulus has claimedby the right-wing billionaire Mercer family (a major backer of Breitbart).

While he refuses to identify his financial angels, a story Thursday in Buzzfeed relies on leaked internal documents to identify computer tycoon Bob Mercer and his daughter Rebekah as Yiannopolouss sugar daddies.

Rebekah Mercer loves Milo, the story quotes a source familiar with both Yiannopoulos and the Mercers. They always stood behind him, and their support never wavered.

Notably, Yiannopoulos has also been restored to the warm embrace of the Donald Trump-loving, angry-populist Breitbart News, whose editor-in-chief, Alexander Marlow, was at pains to call his pedophilia endorsementwhen it emerged last February indefensible, upsetting, appalling, and troubling.

In recent days, Breitbart has not only featured a lengthy excerpt of Dangerousfrom a chapter titled Why Muslims Hate Mebut the website has also covered the twists and turns of Yiannapolouss glorious book tour with a celebratory diligence normally reserved for the achievements of the Trump White House.

Whats more, Marlow devoted the July 5 installment of Breitbart Daily, the radio show he hosts on SiriusXM, to a sycophantic chat with his once-shamed former employee.

Youre one of the true iconoclasts out here, Marlow gushed, humorously dubbing Yiannopoulos a fabulous supervillain.

He never left the good graces of Breitbart, said former Breitbart writer Lee Stranahan, who quit the web site in March in a bitter dispute with Marlow, and was among half a dozen employees who voiced repulsion at Yiannopouloss comments.

Several Breitbart employees had reportedly threatened to quit if Yiannopoulos remained. Like a lot of stuff associated with Milo, Stranahan said, his resignation was a publicity stunt.

Stranahan, the father of six, added: As a person whos got a lot of kids and teenagers, its not cool.

During his April 2016 sit-down with Drunken Peasants podcaster Joe Rogana video surfaced by a right-leaning group after Yiannopoulos was invited by CPACs Matt Schlapp to speak at the prestigious conclaveBreitbarts then-tech editor had praised the personal discovery value of underage sex between boys and men.

When I was 14, trust me, I was the predator, he claimed, describing his own sexual initiation by a Catholic priest. "I'm grateful for Father Michael," he added. "I wouldn't give nearly such good head if it wasn't for him."

At his Feb. 21 press conference as the scandal was exploding, Yiannopolous offered a half-hearted apology, claiming that he had been a childhood victim of sexual abuse and he was disgusted and horrified by pedophilia. But even as he tried to undo the damage, he couldnt resist adding that child molestation is simply not the worst thing that has ever happened. To go bankrupt is worse.

Marlow didnt respond to an email from the Daily Beast, but Breitbart spokesperson Chad Wilkinson said: Alex accepted Milos resignation but they remained friendsmeeting for lunch last month in Los Angeles when Marlow made his own appearance on Bill Mahers show.

Alex was critical of Milo. He said so. He was very vocal about it, Wilkinson addednotwithstanding that Marlow, in the same breath,had extravagantly praised Yiannopolouss contribution to Breitbart.Milo resigned for his own reasons. And it probably made sense for Milo to separate from the company. His brand is becoming bigger and bigger, so it worked out very well, and we wish him nothing but the best of luck.

As for Yiannopouloss sudden omnipresence on Breitbart, Milo Inc. did a very big advertising buy, Wilkinson said, declining to specify the dollar amount.Were going to take the money. Were going to take the money from pretty much anybody. And Milo continues to be newsworthy, so well cover him. Hes being interviewed all over the placeI dont think hes getting any special treatment.

Wilkinson, meanwhile, tried to dismiss a recent report by Buzzfeedbased largely on internal emails and other documentsthat Marlow had helped his disgraced former employee launch his private company and was designated to receive a $60,000 fee and the title of editorial director.

Alex is not an employee and doesnt work for him, Wilkinson said, calling a spread sheet containing Marlows prospective title and compensation Milos wish list. (Yiannapoulos once infamously referred to media reporter Joe Bernstein, the author of the Buzzfeed story, as a a typical example of a sort of thick-as-pig shit media Jew.

My understanding is there was a deal in place to promote his book when he left, said the former Breitbart staffer. They would have kept him onbut it got a little too hot.

How Breitbart Fell Back in Love With Alt-Right Troll Milo Yiannopolous - Daily Beast

The president heaped praise on Poland as a country at the center of European civilization and warned that our shared Western civilization is threatened by totalitarian forces in the world who seek ... to further their barbarous assault on the human spirit. He called on the West to defend the great civilized ideas: individual liberty, representative government, and the rule of law under God and criticized the shyness of some of us in the West about standing for these ideals.

President Donald Trump gives a public speech at Krasinski Square in Warsaw, Poland July 6, 2017. Reuters

The president in question was not Donald Trump, whose recent speech in Warsaw calling on the West to summon the courage and the will to defend our civilization has drawn irrational criticism here at home. It was Ronald Reagan, in his famous 1982 Westminster address promising to leave Marxism-Leninism on the ash-heap of history.

In fact, Trumps words could have been delivered by almost any American president of either party in the past century. They could have been delivered by Harry S. Truman, who in 1952 praised the United States for saving Western civilization from enslavement by a godless creed. They could have been spoken by John F. Kennedy, who in a 1963 speech in West Germany spoke of preserving Western culture, and Western religion, and Western civilization and defending our common heritage from those who would divide and destroy it. They could have been uttered by Lyndon B. Johnson, who warned in 1966 of ideologies ... that threaten the very roots of our common Western civilization. They could have been spoken by Bill Clinton, who declared in 1994 his belief that Western civilization was the greatest of all, and America was the best expression of Western civilization because of its commitment to ... the belief that the future could be better than the present and that we have an obligation to make it so.

Never mind all that, according to Sarah Wildman of Vox, Trumps call to defend Western civilization sounded like an alt-right manifesto, as the headline on her article described it. In the Atlantic, Peter Beinart complained that Trump referred 10 times to the West and five times to our civilization and that his white nationalist supporters will understand exactly what he means because the West is a racial and religious term.

No, it isnt. Quite the opposite, Western civilization is founded on ideas that transcend race and religion. As Yale historian Donald Kagan put it: Americans do not share a common ancestry and a common blood. What they have in common is a system of laws and beliefs that shaped the establishment of the country, a system developed within the context of Western civilization. He added that every student should study the philosophical, scientific, agricultural and industrial revolutions in the West which allowed human beings to produce and multiply the things needed for life so as to make survival and prosperity possible for ever-increasing numbers and gave birth to the theory and practice of the separation of church from state, protecting each from the other, and creating a free and safe place for the individual conscience.

These ideals are described as Western not because they are exclusive to the West, but because of the historical fact that they emanated from the West: the first democracy in Greece under Pericles (which predated Christianity by more than four centuries); to the principles enshrined in Magna Carta; the works of the Renaissance humanists; and the treatises of Enlightenment philosophers that inspired the authors of our Declaration of Independence.

Western values are universal values, and Trump affirmed their universality in Warsaw, declaring that we value the dignity of every human life, protect the rights of every person, and share the hope of every soul to live in freedom.

Since the 1980s, the left has been on a tireless crusade to drum the study of Western civilization out of universities in the name of fighting Eurocentrism. Now, apparently, they want to drum Western values out of presidential rhetoric. We must not let them do so.

Trump has said many objectionable things, but his eloquent defense of Western civilization in Warsaw was not one of them. It is ironic. The left likes to paint Trump as a threat to democracy. But the real threat to democracy is when the leader of the free world can no longer defend the ideals of the West which, Reagan told us, have done so much to ease the plight of man and the hardships of our imperfect world without being accused of bigotry.
