Daily Stormer (May be) Booted From Russia for 'Propagandizing Neo-Nazi Ideology

Russia’s media watchdog on Thursday said it had requested that a Russian internet provider suspend the Daily Stormer neo-Nazi website after it was previously blocked by U.S. tech firms.

Roskomnadzor head Alexander Zharov told the Interfax news agency the watchdog had “asked” the Ru-center, the company that provided the Russian domain, to stop servicing the website.

“The Daily Stormer propagandizes a neo-Nazi ideology, inciting racial, national and other social hatred,” Zharov told Interfax.

Yeah, well, there is all that history stuff, you know.

This might get interesting. While yes, Russians have a natural abhorrence of NAZIs, Putin values them as disrupters in other countries.

yet emulates them.

Maybe it's like the Chinese hated Soviet communism and the Soviets hated Chinese communism yet they were both communist.

I dunno -- maybe they do hate Nazis, but they're perfectl fine with fascists - In fact, Putin's favorite philosopher is a self-avowed fascist named Alesandr Dugin. And the alt-right LOVES Putin because he's introduced "Traditionalism" to Russia.


Everything You Need to Know About Steve Bannon, Breitbart, & Russia

Bannon, Brietbart, & the Alt-Right Are Acting in Concert With Russia to Reinstall a Traditionalist Worldview

The Alt-Right has joined forces with Russia to battle the forces of liberalism. Their plan is Leninist in nature. Their plan stretches across all of the West and has been incredibly successful. Their plan was to join forces with Russia, push nationalism and alt-right movements, break apart the EU and Western Alliances that push multiculturalism, to use Chaos theory on the West, and for them to rise out of the ashes. They see Putin as their ally in their fight against multiculturalism, secularism, abortion and gays.

After the financial crisis and its fall out, Putin sensed weakness in the West and created a plan to capitalize on working class anger from the fall out of the financial crisis. The plan was to flame the fuels of Nationalism and xenophobia to weaken western ties and alliances and to ultimately destroy the West in internal chaos and fighting between races and cultures and for Traditionalist Nationalism to rise from the ashes. Bannon and the Alt-Right apparently believe that Russia has done a better job of keeping its national identity and kept away leftists who accept gays and multiculturalism.

The Alt-Right wants to install Nationalism and Traditionalism in the West. They want a ban on abortions, they are against gays, against gay marriage, against immigrants, against multiculturalism, and against modern liberal values. They want to have a strong Judeo-Christian basis in Western nations. They believe that their views align more closely with Putin’s than the West and that aligning with him will allow them to destroy the Republican and Democratic establishment and put in place their worldview.
