Call them neo-Nazis. Because that’s what they are. No matter how much they threaten to sue you for saying it, it’s the truth.

Lawsuits like the nebulous one that was threatened in that linkified story aren’t about winning; they’re about intimidation. “Look what will happen to you if you aren’t nice to us! We’re going to make you spend your dwindling profits to pay lawyers in endless depositions.” The lack of any announced target of this supposed suit is designed to make EVERY potential Brightfart opponent quiver. “Could it be us they’re going after? Maybe we should dial our attitude back a bit.” A media company with balls would say “Screw you bastards” but who has the cojones to challenge the slimebuckets whose boss has become Trumpitler’s hatchetman?
(And since when does a neo-Nazi organisation’s claims that it’s gonna sue somebody, sometime, for hurting their tender fee-fees, merit somebody writing a story about it? Fuck that shit. Show us some legal papers, filed in an actual court. Otherwise, you’re just blowing smoke rings out of your arse.)
Peter Thiel showed what could happen when he used his money as a speculative venture to destroy Gawker. That amoralibertarian didn’t have a dog in Hulk Hogan’s PR battle vs. the online gossips, but he had enough money to buy lawyers to stifle a part of the modern-day press. I read (forget where) that “investors” can now spend money backing lawsuits in return for a cut of the cash if their side wins. Vulture capitalism has a new cousin, “vulture courtism.”

Liberals don’t have to keep finding new names for themselves. We don’t have to carefully control our words so we aren’t specifically saying what we WANT to say. We don’t have to invent dog whistles and dog farts* to communicate.
* “dog-farting is not about signaling only one particular group. It’s about signaling everyone — a promise to some, a threat to others — while still being able to semi-plausibly claim that you’re innocent of saying the awful thing you just deliberately said.” From here: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/slacktivist/2016/03/10/that-wasnt-a-whistle-and-everyone-knows-it-wasnt-the-dog/

this cat this Donald trump
retching, vomiting, contorting
the most foulest of hairballs
the cabinet of the orange foolius
imagine the chunks
as they form, and congeal
some may turn into Sarah Palin
the horror, the absolute horror
an Alien facehugger,
on the whole nation
we are in some real pretty shit
game over, man, game over
I can see, Ashe gurgling, smiling
the Alien, is coming for us all
it didn’t burst from our chest
we let him in, through the front door
they mostly come at night, mostly
we thought it was a stand up fight
turns out, it was a Bug Hunt!
Clinton was afraid of bugs
she wouldn’t get in the sewer
trump eats bugs, hell all reptiles do
now we got an orange shit stain
on the Constitution
paranoia, wait and see
yep, I’m gonna be as civil
as the right, was to Obama
if we have any chance at all
we will have to fight
like Newt and Ripley
keep these Alien facehuggers
from strangling the whole nation
and we don’t have Bishop
crawling to our salvation
they mostly come at night, mostly

The labels may change, but these folks are nothing more than the Secesh trying to rise again.
What good folks need to realize is that evil never gives up. It just re-brands.
