![]() ![]() It’s a collection of extreme-right dog whistles, down to the title. In December 2016, Southern self-published her polemical book, Barbarians: How the Baby Boomers, Immigration, and Islam Screwed My Generation, with a blurb by Ann Coulter reading “Buy this book before liberals ban it” across the cover. Southern argued with the protesters at the event, and showed up in Canada’s national media once again when one of them dumped a bottle of what appeared to be fox urine on her head. Less than a year later, Southern returned to Vancouver to an event where pro-eugenics anti-Semitic alt-right figure and fellow wannabe politician Augustus Sol Invictus was supposed to speak (Invictus was running for a Florida senate seat, and was prevented from entering Canada at the border, missing his own event). Southern received 535 votes in the election, not quite 1% of the vote. Later, in the summer of 2015, after Southern launched her candidacy for parliament, she appeared at a Vancouver S- Walk protest (the name inspired by a Toronto policeman who said in 2011 “women should avoid dressing like s-” to avoid sexual assault) carrying a sign that read, “There is no rape culture in the west.” The Canadian Libertarian Party suspended her candidacy, but she was reinstated after supporters, including Breitbart, objected. That sound you didn’t hear was a dog whistle for Anglin and his ilk. She mentions domestic violence against men, and says 80% of suicides are men, before asking, “If feminism really is a movement dedicated to equality, shouldn’t feminists be speaking out against these and other example of obvious inequality?” “Did you know that every year, more American men are raped than women?” she asks on the video’s page, referring to prison rape. I dress up like them and guys masturbate to me.”)īefore Southern launched her short-lived career as a politician, she first attracted attention with her debut video on The Rebel, entitled “Why I Am Not A Feminist,” in April 2015. Perhaps this is where Lauren Southern splits with the neo-Nazis - without women like Southern, who will take on the “social justice warrior” feminists? And who will the Proud Boys use as material for their monthly wank? (In Southern’s self-published 82-page book, Barbarians: How the Baby Boomers, Immigration, and Islam Screwed My Generation, she references masturbation five times, including, “ … I don’t masturbate to anime characters. Not speaking, not leading, and with no official membership in anything.” What does a woman have to offer you intellectually? Motivationally? Morally? Absolutely nothing. In his manifesto, published in August of this year, Anglin wrote, “Men are sick of having things explained to them by women. Southern is a one-time Libertarian candidate for Canadian Parliament and former writer for Canada’s alt-right media hub, The Rebel, and a self-published author, who’s glommed on to the extremist right scene in her home country’s southern neighbor and found internet fame and controversy while becoming the movement’s white, blonde goddess of the moment (since Taylor Swift never returned the neo-Nazis’ affections).Īndrew Anglin, founder and editor of the embattled neo-Nazi Daily Stormer website, strenuously objected to the presence of females in the alt-right movement. Like the Proud Boys, Southern claims to reject racism while embracing the supposedly palatable elements of the so-called “alt-light,” offering observations like “Black people are convinced by the media that they’re living in a system where everything white people do is trying to oppress them,” as she told a Vice reporter early this year. She followed that with, “Swat team called in so I could show pictures of fat feminists.” “200 people showed up to protest a 22-year old-Canadian girl that makes memes,” Southern tweeted on the evening of the event. Her anti-feminist, xenophobic, Islamophobic diatribes tiptoe at the precipice of outright white nationalism, while she coyly smiles at her viewers in a video on her YouTube channel alongside a graphic reading “I AM NOT A NAZI!” Southern, the featured attraction for both attendees and protesters, regularly objects to the “Nazi” label the protest organizers’ flyers featured. One person was arrested in the protest, and police said they broke up fights using “chemical irritants.” The event being protested was organized by the college’s right wing Collegians for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT) student group, and featured 22-year-old alt-right YouTube vlogger Lauren Southern. A couple hundred protesters showed up to the “alt-right hate” event at the university’s West Bank Auditorium. ![]()
