Poor Refugees

Call me a cynic but I don't think there are many "Alt-Right" fans of Rebel Media - you know, the conservative media company owned and publicly fronted by the conspicuously Jewish Ezra Lavant.

I don't think she's ever supported the likes of Richard Spencer either and that's pretty much what "Alt-Right" has come to mean.

Four or five years ago, the "Alt-Right" or alternative right was a much more eclectic collection of people with conservative views that didn't fit the definitions of mainstream parties in the US or Europe but one by one, they have almost all distanced themselves and disavowed the term so that now, it pretty much means neo-Nazi.

About the only person that she associates with whose politics give me cause for concern would be Martin Sellner.

I still haven't made up my mind about Martin.

I'd say that the conflation with neo-Nazi groups is the result of the likes of Antifa calling anyone who doesn't agree with them a Nazi. But she's defended white nationalists, she's obsessed enough with immigration to travel to Europe to try to stop migrant boats (what damn business is that of hers?), she does a lot of dogwhistling that those folks will hear.

The clue is in her job title: "Journalist".

She was reporting things that the mainstream press wouldn't - something that is close enough to the people of Italy for it to be one of the very first things addressed by the new populist government.

She needs to stop saying so!

I think she stretches the boundaries between journalism and activism. Pretty sure she wasnt embedded with those far right activists to produce unbiased reportage.

So do people like Mark Thomas and the world is a better place for their blend of journalism and activism.

 

Although I draw the line at the odious Owen Jones.
