The Rise and Fall of Base Spartan

[Happiness]

This is a Vice mini-doco about Cuck Spartan, an alt right protest icon. It's complex and powerful. I may have shed a few tears.

There are many notable issues in the piece. For me, the notion that it's the violence itself, the addiction to the adrenalin, nothing political, that draws many to the alt-right was something I'd considered but merits deeper thought.

The narrative that the "alt right" is more violent than antifa and the left is absolutely laughable. We have an entire year of leftists assaulting Trump supporters during the campaign and a mere handful of Trump supporters attacking leftists.

Week after week after week it was documented on video. The left waited about 6 months after the election before they started to rewrite history on this because it was so overwhelming.

You'd probably need some shock therapy and a few red pills.

I’ve had this debate with friends for the past year. I truly believe the whole Alt Right/Antifa protest fights are just America’s version of soccer hooligans. Our sports culture is pretty tame, and most fans don’t travel to away games due to distance, so the same people who would be hooligans if they were European just pick political causes as an excuse to get together and fight here. Whether it’s sports or politics, the main goal is fighting.

I love stra Trek and sci fi in general but god spock just rubs me the wrong way his fucking alien Volcan ears is just annoying I just want to rip it off his head!

For the most part, it's about young people getting into scraps and releasing some frustrations.

There may be a few legitimate "ideologues" there but they will always be out-numbered by those who just love a good fight. I never truly saw these events as having any real political importance, no different from how I don't see a fight between soccer hooligans as having political importance, even if there may be Nazis or communists among the groups.

Give people a legitimate excuse to fight, to play king of the hill, and they'll do it. Overall there have been maybe one or two casualties as a result of the whole thing, which within America's framework is not really that big of a deal. The whole thing got way over-blown. A gang fight between Antifa and Alt-Right gets days of coverage, but a gang fight between bloods and crips, or MS-13 and another drug gang, which leaves several people dead and dozens injured, gets no coverage whatsoever.

So they are like Holligans just with the pathetic level upgraded all the way to 100?
Just imagine that dude rocking up to a Holligan fight with a fucking Spartan Halloween costumes.
That shit might fly in Dortmund but not in real firm @Deffid.

I would classify those guys more as Ultras. Lots of posers not a lot of action.

WTF? Spock was the GOAT.

 

[KaNesDeath]

Interesting read of a guy who has clear emotional issues and his immediate family permitting such an outlet.
