I was under the impression that as of this morning it was pretty clear she was there to sort of make a "fuck you" statement in solidarity with the protestors outside?
Did something else come to light?
She went to an Alt Right convention. She either did it out of curiosity and wanting to confront/interact with her adversaries or she did it to "troll" them.
The former is generally something someone who wants to govern would do but it really pissed off some of her supporters. I say supporters and not her "base" because it looks like the majority of her vocal support can't vote for her.
If it's the latter, no serious politician should be playing stupid twitter troll games.
Either situation makes her and her supporters look bad to the actual voting constituency.
Aw fuck, that's a bad look. I really like the idea of someone with her very vocal positions holding a seat in the US Senate but now I'm less sure she should be the oneIt's not just the Cernovich convention, it's that there's a photo of her going to an escape room with Posobiec, Wintrich, and Fairbanks.
You people for that dumb reporting shit too? Seriously, that thread was Alex Jones-level of idiocy.

Should have known she was unreliable the moment she wanted to become a professional politician.
Yeah what I'm mostly upset about isn't literally that Chelsea is a dumbass, because she's just one person, but that she's blowing it for all the causes that look up to her.
Yeah, I feel this too, but at the end of the day, I hope folks are able to take a deep breath and hold firm to the idea that causes are bigger than people. This gives liberal critics ammo against leftward progress, but they always seem to feel they have that anyway.Yeah what I'm mostly upset about isn't literally that Chelsea is a dumbass, because she's just one person, but that she's blowing it for all the causes that look up to her.
I can see two scenarios,I'm mad but mostly I'm disappointed and confused. Like, really really fucking confused. This requires a big portion of her persona since release to be...an act? Maybe? What the hell is going on

That's how I want to lean as well, its just hella dissonanceI suspect it's more extreme cognitive dissonance on her part than her public persona to date being an act per se. Maybe that's giving her too much credit, idk.
We know Fairbanks reached out to her on Twitter to congratulate her after getting out of prison. I think the most likely scenario is that they became friends quietly through DMs due to Fairbanks apparently having idolized Chelsea, and from there Chelsea met the other alt right types due to a shared interest in being anti-establishment.
It's kind of like how, if you take a piece of metal and then you bend it into like a U shape, the far ends are actually pretty close together because of their distance from the middle
(I'm kidding)
Even in here that's a topic of a lot of debate haha. Actually do we have any full on anarchist socialist or anarchist communists in here? (aside from House of Lightning sorta kinda not really). My focus is on how we construct organizational hierarchies with tangled accountability, really robust systems that provide the advantages of institutional organization while minimizing the ability for power to be exploited.Really into alternatives non-hierarchical organization of society that's functional in a global context.

Fuck me, that's just a lie. Do better. Be better.

You should read the first two Earthsea novels at the very least. They're short and breezy and The Tombs of Atuan is one of the novels that's embedded most deeply in my brain.Maybe I should finally watch Tales from Earthsea, but I've heard Miyazaki's son mangled it...
Just saw this, working on a responseWhat approaches for tangled accountability have you found to be more effective?
It's a beautiful movie but definitely not a particularly interesting work. I've only read the first Earthsea novel but I thought it was pretty incredible at the time, and I was still pretty conservative at the time.Maybe I should finally watch Tales from Earthsea, but I've heard Miyazaki's son mangled it...
One of my favorite quotes ever. She was an absolute giant and I will miss her."We live in capitalism, its power seems inescapable – but then, so did the divine right of kings.

"White" "feminism" has nothing to do with it. She's appealing to morons and their moron meme culture, which knows no cultural or racial boundaries.
I don't know if Manning identifies as a feminist, but being chummy with white supremacists is about as white as it gets.
It does. White privilege is what let's her do what what the hell she wants, without any accountability.
If that were true, then Pepe and other bigoted memes wouldn't exist.She's appealing to morons and their moron meme culture, which knows no cultural or racial boundaries.
I am in no way blaming Feminists in general, i'm blaming White feminism specifically. There's a difference.But don't blame white people or feminists in general for that abomination of a tweet. ;)
