    If you have any doubts about his true beliefs, just look here: http://motherboard.vice.com/read/palmer-luckey-alt-right.

    And? I thought the US are the land of the free and brave.

    The mainstream propaganda has done its job.

    > Luckey has “liked” many alt-right memes

    Thought crimes will not be tolerated. Extrapolating 'likes' to mean sympathy with racists (which is what Motherboard's article infers) is disgusting, surely.

    This culture of witch-hunting people for what they liked on Twitter (which could mean anything from 'I like this' to 'interesting insight' - not that it matters) or who they choose to support is shameful.

    Believe it or not, people are allowed to have views that differ from your own.

    Was GamerGater a person opposing selling positive game reviews or opposing ... sexism? What was the other side?

    Oh lord. Why did the term 'shitpost' gain such popularity? Such a nasty dismissive term.

    I'm in the inside looking out and this whole alt right thing is BS. I'm a minority -- one who would be "hurt" by Trump's "build wall" policies -- and liking a smug Pepe meme or /pol/ meme isn't something one should worry about. All, I get from Luckey is that he thinks memes are funny and he doesn't like HRC; calling him anything else is dumb and inflammatory. This whole election is a joke; hell I'm slowly being motivated to vote for Trump just to add to the mixture of ridiculousness.
