Also, if anyone wants to get a feel for old-school Stormfront (I don't know why anybody would), just go to /pol/. That place is insane.
no one was talking about old school Stormfront mate.

sorry i have no archive of pre-shutdown stormfront and none is available. i guess that means witness testimony is meaningless. herp, derp, etc.

this was a couple of years after they started the mask-wearing pretend-civility and certain members were too dumb to play along:

so you're not even reading the quotes you're posting. good job wasting my time

they went "PC" from like 2006 until the shutdown (presumably until then, since I eventually stopped checking their forum). to mask their true speech and appeal to "normies", which was my whole point, which you will no doubt continue to ignore

Seeing them bend over backwards to try to justify the stormfront comparisons is hilarious

Are you implying that those quotes aren't specifically referencing Stormfront circa 04-25-2008, 02:23 PM (i.e., old school Stormfront)?

Scrib they embarrassed themselves with the Stormfront comparisons and are desperately trying to save face, that is all this is.

I was referring to post-slurs PC coded speak stormfront, which I made clear from the get go. thanks again, time waster.

Bending themselves in half actually to make it work and even then it doesn’t

Look, Bash, yes. I just said you were right in saying that and that my 'anecdotal evidence' thing was just me taking a pop at your general inconsistencies.

They're hardly PC now, though — my original post shows plenty of incredibly un-PC stuff, and I got them from current threads on the forum. They may not "call a spade a spade" but they'll still call it a 'disease' and other awful shit.

What are we even arguing about here? We both agree that Stormfront tried to make themselves more appealing to normies, I just don't think either incarnation of that hatehole is anything like KMC.

since you refuse to address the point I made, I guess we're not arguing about anything

I love the talk about "coded" language now too lol. They have truly lost their minds.

Can someone tell me how the language in these current-era threads is 'coded'? These are posts from this week.

Maybe you have to be autistic to see the codes

I never said that their current incarnation is coded. keep putting words in mouth and refusing to accept my initial point, which you quoted twice and still ironically ignored

For sake of brevity, can I just admit I'm confused and you can relay me the point? I assumed you were saying that modern Stormfront use coded language and that is similar to how KMC works, but idgi because all I've seen on modern Stormfront is brazen racism

or maybe this is like the racist dog whistles than supposed non-racists just always happen to be hearing

Remember when the “coded pedofile” language was completely ignored in the podesta emails? But now “racism coded language” is totally believable

If I am understanding it correctly, which I might not be, they are saying stormfront started out using more coded language and then got worse and worse until they stopped using coded language.

The implication being that KMC is like Stormfront and is in the "using coded language" phase.

It's insane, but there it is.

The problem is that dog-whistle rhetoric is a thing, but since everything has become a racist dog-whistle, it muddies the waters and makes it harder to pin-point actual examples of it. Plus sometimes it's actually just hard to tell.

I witnessed stormtfront before they put on their masks and stopped posting grossly overt racism. afterwards if any of them dropped an n-word or other naked slur, they would be hastily corrected by their peers and the mods would edit or delete. it was one of the inspirations for my "coded speak" thread back in 2006, when I witnessed this change take place.

I don't know how to make it any more clear than I made it the first time

they had their initial overt racism phase, then they went PC/coded speak, and now (post-shutdown) they seem to a hybrid of the two.
