What is the Alt-Right? Maybe you should ask one.

[jamil]

It is one thing to be motivated by the zeal of passionate ideologues like Thomas Paine. Methinks bearded capitalist millennials in an AirBnB squat don't quite make the cut.

I agree that I really don't give too many ****s about the clickbait capitalists.

But you really think the protestors even know who Thomas Paine is?

 

[jamil]

There's a distinction to be made between ethno-centrism and racism. When the author starts rambling about securing a future for whites instead of western culture, I think he's crossed that line.
His claim that: "diversity+proximity=war" is a lame excuse for not coexisting with anyone different., and IMO the most objectionable point.

If he wants to buy a piece of mountain next door to randy weaver, I'll be happy to ignore him.

Brown shirts or Red bandanas... so this is all just a difference in fashions?

 

[Alpo]

No. I don't.

So, keep your powder dry and your magazines full. Clear the sight lines on your property.

 

[GIJEW]

So, you've bought your brown shirt then?

Dude, you're out of line. Jamil said earlier that they lean fascist--that's not an endorsement. The issue is you getting wound up with how they exercise free speech while you down play what the soros funded SJWs are actually doing in the streets.

Huh. I never thought of saying it that directly. Maybe I should have led with that.

 

[Alpo]

I'm not your dude, dude.

Perhaps I'm more concerned with the 60 million folks who were angry enough to elect Trump. I'm not sure what they are angry about, or that all of them are angry about the same things. I do believe Alt-right is another form of fascism that could become virulent and a lot more dangerous than non-gun-owning SJW's who really aren't warriors.

Have you not read any of the Trump thread? I think it's been a fair microcosm of the state of things. But, I guess if you think like a coastal elitist you may not have gotten the message.

 

[Alpo]

Coastal elite. LOL.

Believe it or not, Jamil, I don't think INGO is a statistically valid sample of the population that voted for Trump. Between AmmoManAAron and GP, one could get a very narrow view of reality.

I can name many things that I am angry about, even though I wouldn't vote for Trump, and they align perfectly with the anger of those who did vote for Trump.

I don't think fascism is the answer, however.

...Perhaps I'm more concerned with the 60 million folks who were angry enough to elect Trump. I'm not sure what they are angry about...

Dude, they're not all angry. Many, many of them don't like Hillary. The #NeverHill movement if you will. Some of them, :gasp: don't like Obama's policies with the ever growing socialism he preferred...and saw HRC as a continuation. Angry? Maybe, maybe not, but a philosophical and practical disagreement, for sure. I see a lot of real anger out there, marching in the streets. It seems like the Trump voters have far from a corner on the market.

As for the peaceful protesters, how long before they find out their marches and posters and muddled words aren't doing anything? Do they pack it up and go home, or do they explore other tactics?

Look, the Alt-Right, if the OP blog is correct, is a loon faction desperately trying to keep themselves from yelling "White Power"!, but according to the listed principles, they're fringe....irrelevant...didn't get anyone elected. It's not really fascism until they start exercising control over others and demanding rigid adherence. Until then, they're bloggers who are super-blowhardy.

So, in the meantime be vigilant, but as long as it's talk, it's "in bounds". The statists--left and right--would disarm us because we could, maybe, be violent because we have the means. If you're serious about freedom you have to accept that some people will choose to think, talk, and live in ways you think are wrong headed.
In the meantime, the SJ-hooligans are being paid to riot (I wouldn't care if it was just demonstrations). Since they're on soros' payroll, they will continue. I see it as foreign subversion to undermine our electoral process after the fact.

I agree, they didn't get anyone elected.... But they certainly got someone appointed.

Who got somebody what now?

 

[Alpo]

Dude.....what is it with the lumbersexuals? Is this a term of endearment or a euphemism for something much worse?

I've known radicals since the early 60's when Students for Democratic Action (a predecessor of SDS) began. Many are satisfied with protests, believing that a large enough protest is sufficient for men of good character in power to consider their plight. We all know it doesn't necessarily work that way until overwhelming public opinion supports the cause.

There are those who seek power in any group. I heard that Abbie Hoffman died living in a shed, mostly out of his mind. There are those who are violent (the Weathermen, e.g.).

Anyone who seeks to reduce the constitutionally-protected status of a free citizen within this country must be held to the light of day and shown for what they are.

They (the alt-right) did? What is your evidence that the alt-right had any such influence?

 

[Kutnupe14]

Who got somebody what now?

Who = Alt-right Somebody = Bannon What = Appointed

 

[chipbennett]

Who = Alt-right Somebody = Bannon What = Appointed

How did the alt-right effect that outcome? How did the alt-right even influence that outcome?

And, I remain dubious that Steve Bannon himself is even a part of the alt-right.

 

[Kutnupe14]

S. Bannon. The guy who changed the whole culture of a once legitimate news source, to the voice of the Alt-Right.
