Helen Zille and the alt-right-lite
Hello! We’re back for 2020 after a break which was [not really] restorative, because people kept saying perplexing things on Twitter and elsewhere. This episode is about the Democratic Alliance’s [apparent] attempts to alienate most of South Africa’s voters, through the mechanism of Helen Zille’s Twitter account.
Musical interludes, and the intro and outro music, are edits of Soixante-8 by Obsibilo (under Creative Commons license 3.0).
Reading:
* A cultural war waged by a cartoonist (on the “satirical” Jerm cartoon)* Finding sanity in a stampede of agitrolling, fauxrage and verbiflage (Zille defines and defends nonsense words)* Zille: The race to the bottom (Chris Roper)* Chris Roper’s vile “alt-right” smear (Ratcatcher “responds” to Roper)* Helen Zille and “valuable aspects of colonial heritage” (JR on “that” tweet)
