The Alt-Right

I remember Rush Limbaugh using it a couple decades ago. He's not mainstream media. Is it older than that?
In terms of the US it probably came to prominence during the 80s 'culture wars' (often tied to a passing ref mao made to it) but in europe it's been used much longer. In france there's the concept of the pensee unique the thought that it's not possible to not have. That has been a staple of the new right - which is basically what the anglophone alt-right is aping.
 
Gavin McInnes. Cunt is all over the place!
"I think I'm becoming anti-semitic."

"No offence Nazis, I don't like you, I like Jews."
 
I'm getting confused. The right used to be easliy recognizable as either conservatives or fascists, Now, in a frothy orgy of banalization they are all lumped together, the boundaries merged, their objectives blurred, and are supposed to include; according to a post in this thread, and I quote; Pick up artists (fuckinell), the extraterrestiral obsessed (bleedin Nora) and anyone who hates liberals (everyone). WTF.

Can we add train spotters to that list while we're at it? They're afterall a bit wierd and maybe have some agenda and internet presence.

So, where does this leave the history channel?
 
Oh the fucking irony...

White nationalist Richard Spencer gets his money from Louisiana cotton fields—and the US government


ap_16355661382259-2000px.jpg

Two weeks after the presidential election, white nationalist Richard Spencer held forth on a cable news show about how white people built America. "White people ultimately don't need other races in order to succeed," he told the audience of the black-oriented program, NewsOne Now.

The exchange grew heated as host Roland Martin questioned Spencer's rhetoric: Didn't slaves help build America? Wasn't the nation's 19th-century economic boom propelled by the slave labor that produced the world's cotton on Southern plantations?


America's rise was "not through black people" and "has nothing to do with slavery," Spencer retorted. "White people could have figured out another way to pick cotton," he said. "We do it now."

He is in a position to know. Spencer, along with his mother and sister, are absentee landlords of 5,200 acres of cotton and corn fields in an impoverished, largely African American region of Louisiana, according to records examined by Reveal from The Center for Investigative Reporting. The farms, controlled by multiple family-owned businesses, are worth millions: A 1,600-acre parcel sold for $4.3 million in 2012.

The Spencer family's farms are also subsidized by the federal government. From 2008 through 2015, the Spencers received $2 million in US farm subsidy payments, according to federal data.
 
Short piece on "Esoteric Nazi" Savitri Devi, and the "seepage" of her lunatic bullshit (Hitler as avatar of Vishnu) into the current far-right scene:

Savitri Devi: The strange story of how a Hindu Hitler worshipper became an alt-right icon
She was kept alive by Zundel who you mentioned the other day - he made the money to do the ufo stuff that he made even more money to do the nazi stuff off the back of a collection of tapes he had of her - this was back in the late 7os/early 80s. I'd say she has zero influence on the actual living political far-right beyond the few paying dues to their ancestors. Her and Serrano. The rest have no idea of either of them.
 
What the hell is Pizzagate? :confused:

Something to do with Comet(?) pizza in DC(?) having all ages shows. Which logically leads to it been a den of paedos. As the toppings on the pizza show your preference of a particular type of child. Some RW thug went in a shot a bullet in the ceiling. is my understanding of it, admittedly I got that from Chapo Trap House.
 
For anyone who wants to descend into the Pizzagate rabbit hole there are a couple of posts on Richard Bartholomew's blog which provide some interesting starting links.

One from last December Some “Pizzagate” Notes
and one from yesterday Small Rally Shows Pizzagate Conspiracy Theory Lives On

just a few days ago, Alex Jones issued a formal statement repudiating Info Wars’ coverage of the story – presumably at the behest of lawyers for the restaurant.

The fact this tiny 'rally' brought together an extremely diverse group of swivel-eyed conspiraloon's illustrates how swiftly pizzagate has moved into "Hampstead Satanic Abuse Scandal" territory as ultra-fringe lunacy. (It's a long way from just three months ago when 'pre-career glitch' Milo was promising a talk entitled “Pizzagate: The Deep Dish on Democrats and Pedophilia”). However I doubt that will be much comfort to the people targetted by these shitheads.
 
Alex Jones apologizes for Pizzagate:

Personally, I think he ought to pay reparations as well because of this:

Mr. Alefantis said his restaurant has spent nearly $70,000 on two guards to stand at the entrance during business hours. A neighbor who runs a security company helped install an alarm system and a network of cameras — both inside and outside the restaurant — as well as panic buttons to alert the local police.

Last weekend, about 10 Pizzagate theory adherents held a protest in front of the restaurant. Mr. Alefantis said no one but Mr. Jones has ever apologized to him.

“Honestly I wouldn’t wish this on anyone,” he said. “These lies and falsehoods spread about me and my restaurant exist all over the place. The damage that has been done to my company and business and my community, all will remain forever.”

They're lucky someone wasn't killed over this.
 
I've just had a haircut and it's all gone a bit alt-right. I should really have known when I walked out of the barbers and had the urge to shout "CUCK!" at a pigeon :( Nobody punch me please.

You should get a one way ticket to Cascadia, Pacific North West, the alt right's new utopia for daft haircuts.
 
Been watching a few videos of it, including this one:



which I suspect is from a dodgy channel based on the commenters and the fact that they're in there with him, letting him put his viewpoint across. But either way you can see that

1. he is really worried - not unreasonably;
2. he doesn't have any defence apart from the cops;
3. there really aren't that many antifa chasing him and they're not particularly aggressive yet even that managed to shut him down.
 
The alt-right are angry at the US airstrikes against Assad. But they don't blame Trump, I suspect you can guess who they do blame...
