It’s too early in the morning to peek at the ugly underbelly of the internet

Thanks, Dave Futrelle! Now I’m sleepy and nauseated!

It seems that Allum Bokhari and Milo Yiannopoulous (and an army of unmentioned, unpaid interns), those darlings of the discredited ‘news’ site, breitbart.com, have churned out a defense of the alternative right. It’s tedious and stupid and tries very hard to gloss over reality, but here’s Shorter Breitbart:

We aren’t racists, we’re just frustrated intellectuals who enjoy shit-posting!

Hilariously, the Daily Stormer has responded. Shorter Stormer:

We are too racists, and we hate you degenerate gay jew-boys and mud people! Heil Hitler!

A pox on you both.

I’d go back to bed, but now I’m wide awake and disgusted.

    And now you know *why* I turn the fucking telephone off when I go to bed. :)
    I also actively avoid the internet if I do get up for some reason, lest I miss out on my beauty rest and believe me, I need all of that rest that I can get.

    Jesus. Yes, it’s too early for this shit.

    Me, I just find it funny. Like schadenfraude.

    That’s nice. It must be good to be so privileged you don’t need to be concerned with such hatred and bigotry.

    [I]t’s too early for this shit.

    It is c.17:40 (about 5:40pm) here. When, please, is it not too early…?

    For feck’s sake, the planet does not run exclusively on USAresholianthanthousistan time.

    … a defense of the alternative right.

    Last I heard, even the uncool kids gave up on the “alternative” label at least a decade ago.

    Obviously, I hadn’t heard about the hardcore of the uncoolest.

    No, it doesn’t. That said, it was early morning when PZ saw it, so…

    Conservatives are always at least twenty years behind.

    Ack. Bad blockquoting. Last line in the previous post is mine, not a quote.

    I’m pretty sure it’d be too early in the morning, even if the time was 23:59:59.999.

    You can engage in timezone relativism. It is always morning somewhere. It’s only a matter of perspective.

    It’s 7:19 am in NYC and it’s too early for Y-poulos drivel.

    I’ve heard of “tone trolling” but this is something new… “Time trolling”?

    Who said that I wasn’t? But then, perhaps I could have been clearer. It IS funny to watch Milo try to shine that turd, only for the turd to insist it remain unshined. The bigotry isn’t funny, but the way the bigots are quick to savage the idiots who try to pretend they’re not bigots, or worse try to wave it off?
