人兽性交

The article, titled, 鈥淎lt-White: How the Breitbart Machine Laundered Racist Hate,鈥� focuses on Breitbart鈥檚 former tech editor Yiannopoulos, and concretely demonstrates how the once rising conservative star intentionally smuggled explicitly racist ideology to Breitbart鈥檚 substantial base, with the entire operation backed by the billionaire .

In April of 2016, the 人兽性交 documented Breitbart鈥檚 embrace of extremist ideas and racist tropes such as black-on-white crime and anti-Muslim conspiracy theories. Further analyses showed how under executive chair Stephen Bannon, Breitbart鈥檚 comment section became a safe space for anti-Semitic language while its news coverage served as The New York Times for neo-Nazis.

Through an analysis of leaked emails, the Buzzfeed piece explores the compartmentalized and toxic ecosystem at Breitbart News that allowed for its meteoric rise to the premier outlet for the far-right.

Some of the most interesting revelations contained in the article are listed below:

1.

Yiannopoulos played a critical role in bringing the term alt-right from the white nationalist fringe into the mainstream conversation with his primer, Buzzfeed鈥檚 expos茅 details collusion between Yiannopoulos and extremist figures ranging from the neo-nazi, hacker Andrew 鈥淲eev鈥� Auernheimer, neo-reactionary Curtis Yarvin, and white nationalist Devin Saucier 鈥� the latter even providing line edits to articles.

Saucier works for American Renaissance, a website run by Jared Taylor, one of the most important white nationalist ideologues of the past quarter century. Taylor in turn mentored Richard Spencer, a close friend of Saucier鈥檚. The emails reveal how Milo relied on Saucier for editorial direction and even trusted him enough to spike stories at the suggestion of his white nationalist friend. Saucier has been active in the white nationalist scene since he was a college student when he founded a chapter of Youth for Western Civilization while a student at Vanderbilt University in 2008.

2.

Bernstein鈥檚 article also demonstrates, as critics have long argued, that the alt-right primer deliberately and deceptively whitewashes the racist core of the movement. Breitbart鈥檚 editor-in-chief, Alex Marlow, personally instructed Yiannopoulos and the primer鈥檚 ghost writer, Allum Bokhari, to obscure connections to publications like Taki鈥檚 Magazine and VDare, both of which he refers to as racist.

Steve Bannon also read a draft and remarked, 鈥淚 do appreciate any piece that mentions [Julius] Evola.鈥�

Evola was a proponent of fascist ideas and remains a darling of modern day racists, particularly those on the alt-right.

3.

Emails referenced in the Buzzfeed article also reveal the role that Bannon had in shaping Milo鈥檚 persona as a calculating provocateur and firebrand, a relationship that the 人兽性交 has written about in the past.

On December 8, The New York Times published a major story about the radicalization of American Muslims on Facebook. Yiannopoulos published a story called 鈥淏irth Control Makes Women Unattractive and Crazy.鈥�

That afternoon, Bannon emailed Yiannopoulos and Marlow.

鈥淒ude 鈥� we r in a global existentialist war where our enemy EXISTS in social media and u r jerking yourself off w/ marginalia!!!! U should be OWNING this conversation because u r everything they hate!!! Drop your toys, pick up your tools and go help save western civilization.鈥�

In a February email exchange before Yiannopoulos appeared on Greg Gutfeld鈥檚 Sunday Fox News show, Bannon wrote, 鈥淕utfeld should become an object lesson for u. Brilliant cultural commentator who really got pop culture, the hipster scene and advant [sic] garde 鈥� .got on fox and tried to become a political pundit ... lost all credibility 鈥� You r one of the potential heirs to his cultural leadership so act according.鈥� Bannon was grooming the younger man for something greater.鈥�

4.

Bannon鈥檚 appetite for stories demonizing Islam is also documented in quoted emails. In one, Bannon described mosques as 鈥渇actories of hate.鈥�

When Milo told Bannon about a plan to hold a press conference outside the mosque that the Pulse nightclub shooter attended, Bannon responded, 鈥淏rilliant.鈥�
Breitbart remains a major clearinghouse of anti-Muslim rhetoric and personalities. Pamela Geller, Frank Gaffney, Robert Spencer and others have all published columns there, while its news writers have provided cover for anti-Muslim hate groups like ACT For America.

5.

Emails revealed that Milo鈥檚 friend Ann Coulter was part of an email group that was 鈥渄evoted to mocking stories about the social justice internet.鈥� Coulter isn鈥檛 shy about cozying up to white nationalists. She attended the racist website VDARE鈥檚 Christmas party in December of 2016, and a few months earlier attended the Writers鈥� Workshop put on by the white nationalist Social Contract Press, an outlet that published an English translation of Camp of the Saints, a racist novel Bannon and white nationalists like Jared Taylor hold in high regard.聽 Breitbart published an article likening Pope Francis鈥� vision for accepting refugees from the war-torn Middle East to the racist novel. That article was written by another Bannon prot茅g茅 , who is still in the White House.

6.

Yiannopoulos used his college tours, most recently his 鈥淒angerous F----- Tour,鈥� to farm new, young talent that he referred to as, 鈥渢rufflehounds鈥� for Breitbart.

Yiannopoulos tended to draw in ideologically sympathetic young men at conferences, campus speeches, and on social media, accumulating more and more acolytes as he went along.

In June 2015, it was Ben Kew, who invited Yiannopoulos to speak at the University of Bristol, where he was a student; he鈥檚 now a staff writer for Breitbart. In September 2015 it was Tom Ciccotta, the treasurer of the class of 2017 at Bucknell University, who still writes for Breitbart. In February 2016, it was Hunter Swogger, a University of Michigan student and then the editor of the conservative Michigan Review, whom Yiannopoulos cultivated and brought on as a social media specialist during his Dangerous F----- tour. Yiannopoulos called these young researchers his 鈥渢rufflehounds.鈥�

The article ultimately confirms what鈥檚 been common knowledge for more than a year now: Breitbart News is exceptionally toxic. It鈥檚 a spin machine that produces hate and fear. When Bannon before taking over the Trump campaign last August he said Breitbart was 鈥渢he platform for the alt-right.鈥� He was telling the truth.聽
