Last night, Coulter took to Twitter to rail against journalists who have noted that the term globalistwhich frequently rolls off the tongues of Trump and other administration officialshas roots in anti-Semitism. Coulter, a staunch Trump supporter, singled out one specific article that highlighted the anti-Semitic usages of the term globalist, and mocked the idea that the term carries such connotations. HuffPost journalists Luke OBrien and Nina Golgowski wrote:
The term can be used to describe someone who has universal or open-world beliefs, particularly in regard to trade or public policies, but it can carry a more sinister meaning for members of the far right.
For the anti-Semitic and neo-Nazi members of the so-called alt-right white supremacist movement, globalist is a euphemism for Jew. It refers to the longstanding conspiracy theory about an international Jewish cabal working to undermine the traditional white family and Western culture by pushing for immigration and diversity.

Overnight, 4Chan users on the sites politically incorrect board, who frequently peddle in racist and anti-Semitic rhetoric, lit up in celebration that Coulter had supposedly posted clearly anti-Semitic content. More than a dozen discussion threads with titles like Ann Coulter just went full 1488 and ANN COULTER NAMES THE JEW dominated the board overnight.

It's really time to start labeling 4chan a hate group. I wish we could do to them what we did to the Daily Stormer after Charlottesville.

Well, these charlatans aren't catholics either. They're "evangelicals" which means nothing matters as long as someone else is getting hurt.

(1,020 posts)But came to the conclusions that:
a) nobody cares what you post; and
b) few, if any, read what you post, and the ones that do fall into category (a), above; and most importantly,
c) they're all wanna-be's with no cojones.
The chans are like a "stream of consciousness id", and IMO raise less concern than one's dreams. Far less.
Yes, the alt-right, nazis, and human trash get together on the chans and post hate. IMO, it's harmless talk amongst the self-imposed outcasts. If someone wants to be an outcast, yes, they can find others like them on the chans. They can also find undercover FBI and Homeland Security peeps there, too.
The real ones to worry about are the ones that are talking to their fundagelical ministers or radical imams in private. And they aren't on the chans, cuz they know they'll get caught.

(60,010 posts)1488 is a combination of two popular white supremacist numeric symbols.
The first symbol is 14, which is shorthand for the "14 Words" slogan: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children."
The second is 88, which stands for "Heil Hitler" (H being the 8th letter of the alphabet).

Hey, Ann. How about you save your "jokes" for open mic night at the local comedy club, if you think you're so fucking "entertaining"? Let's see how long you last up there, you skanky freak.

(5,492 posts)She'll say anything to try and get attention. She's only aligning herself with the alt-right and neo-Nazis because she wants to be edgy, and thinks this will get her the most attention. A more apt comparison would be her vs. a gnat.
