If one wants a taste of the world of “alt right”, go to the takimag site.
On the positive side, the articles are generally insightful (and sometimes inciteful), and often amusing; the authors are generally fearless and proudly dismissive of political correctness. The site is a bastion of free speech, and does little (if anything) to moderate comments to posted articles.
On the down side, that freedom attracts an odd crowd to the comments board. While the stable of authors (at least one of whom is Jewish) are mostly at least skeptical of the place Israel holds among US conservatives, a significant number of those who comment at the site are frankly anti-Semitic, and a similar number openly express white supremacist views. Those folks really have a disdain for neo-conservatives (whom they see as Jewish infiltrators) and “cuckservatives” (essentially squishes on the right).
There’s a fine line there - IMO authors like MciInness, Goad, and Shaidle spit in the eye of political correctness without crossing the line into outright craziness, but that’s not the case for lots of those who comment there - they provide a view into the scary side of “alt right”.
Vast Right Wing Conspiracy
Classic Leftist Move.
hmmm funny, I fit in that description rather nicely. Didn’t even know it. lol
I have seen ZERO evidence of anti semetism.
BLM is definitely racist.

Milwaukee Rioters: ‘They Beatin’ Up Every White Person!’

One must erect the straw man before tearing it down.
Folks, this is simply a replay of 2009 - Media jumped early trying to define Tea Party. They tried to paint us as negatively as possible of everything ‘hateful’ under the sun.
It sounds like a bunch of hokum to me. It is yet another hit piece against conservatives, nothing more.
Were all RINOs now?
That is a great list of characteristics of the Alt-Right.
It fits quite well with my conservative/libertarian world view!
Aren't her speeches limited to 15-20 minutes now? It seems like she can't stand unassisted for any longer than that.
(Unless she's suspended from the rafters like the Borg Queen.)
>>iannopoulos himself wrote an extensive piece explaining the alt right to Breitbart readers — which drew a large amount of outrage over the perception it painted a sympathetic picture of an extremist group.
Unless the group is planning or executing violent activity, “extremist” is merely an epithet used to marginalize their opinions.
I do not consider myself alt-right, but I have read Mencken, Spengler, Evola, Sam Francis, and many of the writers at Taki’s Mag such as Steve Sailer, John Derbyshire, and Jim Goad. Many of their viewpoints are within the mainstream of conservatism. There views on race and culture are not too different from what one might have read in National Review or Commentary in the 90s.
I think the alt right is the left overs of the Tea Party, Blacks wanting the American Dream for their Kids, those who have stayed home the last 3 elections, Blue Collar workers and women who want America safe again.
Nah she’ll be seated and propped up by pillows and Meth!
Yes, yes, yes. “Alt-Right” is just a re-branding of the archaic 1990’s Vast-Right-Wing-Conspiracy.
I was surprised to find how much of my world view it encompassed.
Rabbit trail.
