Added bonus, now this "anarchist" freakshow is re-blogging propaganda from the Anti-Defamation League, the Zionist organization that organizes Israeli government trainings for US cops and leads the pack to dehumanize Palestinians: https://twitter.com/areidross/status/1088114649164201984 . The map he finds so fascinating doesn't appear to have any explicitly anti-Palestine materials but the mere fact that he is signal boosting them as though they are a legitimate civil rights organization (particularly given his own conspiratorial "everyone-is-in-cahoots-burn-everything" attitude under which he is willing to tar people for much less) should indicate that he is a fraud. It's also a map that indicates almost the exact opposite of what it proclaims to document, namely some sort of rise in anti-Semitism. Most of the "incidents" listed are teenagers making Jew jokes and idiots from hate groups putting up flyers on bulletin boards. Hardly a reason to beef up security at the beer hall. As far as Richard Spencer goes, honestly, who cares? RS praised Chapo Trap House for being into internet trolling culture. There is no political similarity. Even if he were to say something like "I like Chapo Trap House and agree with everything they say," that would be an obvious unidirectional endorsement and has the significance of David Duke endorsing Occupy Wall Street. Those people have their own political agenda and Leftists do not have any control over it. Neither Chapo Trap House nor the Chapo community has anything but scorn for the right-wing. They are almost entirely behind Bernie Sanders and the DSA. I spoke to Finkelstein about Unz after the last time it came up. He does not publish for Unz; Unz reblogs things he has written elsewhere, including on his own website. Unz is also apparently a zillionaire while Finkelstein was fired from his job for defending Palestine. If the $$$ payment rumor is true, I think it is obvious why Finkelstein might have taken the money and it again hardly shows any sort of political likemindedness. The rest of these people have gone on various programs or endorsed stupid ideas. That is the normal course of the Left and hardly indicates what ARR is implying, namely some sort of fascist tendency.
