“Funny how..”

What’s funny is your perception of credibility.

There is such a thing as a group that calls themselves the alt right.

That group stands against left wing causes in addition to white nationalism.

And yes, the alt right group does have a website.

I’ve only seen soros fund groups like antifa and blm that always seem to devolve to left wing causes.

The claim that the “unite the right” “flag” is not an alt right “flag” will need a bit more substance than someone simply saying so, especially when that “flag” is on the actual group’s website.

So you assign more credibility to someone else’s unfounded claim over an actual reference.

Now that’s funny. Bought any bridges lately? After all, if someone says it’s for sale, it must be, because that say so would trump any actual documentation you might find.

After your critique I went over to that alt-right website to check it out. It's basically just more collectivism. It's answer to tribal politics is to side with a particular tribe. Conservatives believe in individual rights. It is the leftist who brings in group politics

The web page says it opposes the left but item #15 is the giveaway:

Economic freedom is not an end in itself. All economic policies should serve the people of the nation; the interests of businessmen and global merchants should never take precedence over the well-being of workers, families, and the natural world.

People are not the means to someones else's end. Each of us is "An end in and of ourselves". Free trade is a vital part of liberty , therefore economic liberty IS an end in itself. This ideal is the American ideal:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

What you see here on this "alt-right' website is , like the left, somebody trying to formulate some grand Utopian vision by moving people around like chess pieces. This collective vision of ordering people around to get some vague "higher goal" is the very essence of the left and every other totalitarian ideology. Ronald Reagan put it this way:

You and I are told we must choose between a left or right, but I suggest there is no such thing as a left or right. There is only an up or down. Up to man's age-old dream – the maximum of individual freedom consistent with law and order – or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism.
