Neo-Nazis troll Reddit to recruit ‘Alex Jones-reading kosher retards’

A neo-Nazi blogger explained in a post studded with Internet jargon why Reddit is such a fertile ground for recruitment.

The Daily Stormer website – described as “a veritable Drudge Report for Nazi sympathizers and anti-Semites” – urged white supremacists to take part in discussions in specific communities, called “subreddits,” where other users might be receptive to their arguments.

“Reddit has a strong reputation for being a far-left SJW (social justice warriors) hugbox and it’s frequently mentioned in the same breath as Tumblr,” wrote neo-Nazi blogger Michael Slay. “However, many areas of Reddit are much more open to our ideas than you might think.”

The website listed some communities where white supremacists already gather – including “/r/WhiteRights,” “/r/GasTheKikes,” and “/r/CoonTown” – but he said some less obvious groups might yield new recruits to their hateful message.

“First and foremost, the #1 place on Reddit to recruit people to our side is /r/conspiracy,” Slay wrote. “Yes, I know what you’re thinking,” he continued. “Why bother trying to enlighten a bunch of Alex Jones-reading kosher retards who think that the ‘Illuminati lizard people’ run the world? Well, I’ll tell you why: conspiracy-minded people are the most open to considering the reality, which is that international Jewry, in fact, runs our societies.”

I had never come across "The Daily Stormer" until an article posted here had it in an embedded link.

I am sure they have learned not to say it as bluntly, instead, using euphemisms or coded language.

...other times, it jumps up and slaps you in the face! Given the disdain and disregard some give to anti-Semitism, it isn't at all surprising.

of linking to neo-nazi websites by the conspiracy pimps at DU. Rense, whatreallyhappened, americanfreepress, etc. one of the reason a blacklist of sites had to be developed.

Likely due to the innocuous name.
But most delete it when it is pointed out to them.
Others however, have no problems posting articles from anti-Semites.

People can search for "ihr.org" posts at DU if they are dubious.

There's always been a large degree of cross-pollination between neo-nazis and conspiracy loons.
