    They’re turning the web into a cesspool of aggression and violence. What watching them is doing to the rest of us may be even worse

    Updated, August 18



    This story is not a good idea. Not for society and certainly not for me. Because what trolls feed on is attention. And this little bit–these several thousand words–is like leaving bears a pan of baklava.

    It would be smarter to be cautious, because the Internet’s personality has changed. Once it was a geek with lofty ideals about the free flow of information. Now, if you need help improving your upload speeds the web is eager to help with technical details, but if you tell it you’re struggling with depression it will try to goad you into killing yourself. Psychologists call this the online disinhibition effect, in which factors like anonymity, invisibility, a lack of authority and not communicating in real time strip away the mores society spent millennia building. And it’s seeping from our smartphones into every aspect of our lives.

    The people who relish this online freedom are called trolls, a term that originally came from a fishing method online thieves use to find victims. It quickly morphed to refer to the monsters who hide in darkness and threaten people. Internet trolls have a manifesto of sorts, which states they are doing it for the “lulz,” or laughs. What trolls do for the lulz ranges from clever pranks to harassment to violent threats. There’s also doxxing–publishing personal data, such as Social Security numbers and bank accounts–and swatting, calling in an emergency to a victim’s house so the SWAT team busts in. When victims do not experience lulz, trolls tell them they have no sense of humor. Trolls are turning social media and comment boards into a giant locker room in a teen movie, with towel-snapping racial epithets and misogyny.

    They’ve been steadily upping their game. In 2011, trolls descended on Facebook memorial pages of recently deceased users to mock their deaths. In 2012, after feminist Anita Sarkeesian started a Kickstarter campaign to fund a series of YouTube videos chronicling misogyny in video games, she received bomb threats at speaking engagements, doxxing threats, rape threats and an unwanted starring role in a video game called Beat Up Anita Sarkeesian. In June of this year, Jonathan Weisman, the deputy Washington editor of the New York Times, quit Twitter, on which he had nearly 35,000 followers, after a barrage of anti-Semitic messages. At the end of July, feminist writer Jessica Valenti said she was leaving social media after receiving a rape threat against her daughter, who is 5 years old.

      ‘Racialists’ are cheered by Trump’s latest strategy

      ‘Racialists’ are cheered by Trump’s latest strategy

      By David Weigel August 20 2016

      White nationalist writer Jared Taylor, in his home in Oakton, Va.,
      says that Donald Trump should “concentrate on his natural constituency, which is white people.”
      (Pete Marovich/For The Washington Post)

      .

      OAKTON, Va. — Jared Taylor hits play, and the first Donald Trump ad of the general election unfolds across his breakfast table. Syrian refugees streaming across a border. Hordes of immigrants, crowded onto trains.

      “Donald Trump’s America is secure,” rumbles a narrator. “Terrorists and dangerous criminals kept out. The border, secure; our families, safe.”

      Taylor, one of America’s foremost “racialists,” is impressed and relieved. “That’s a powerful appeal,” he said. “If he can just stick to that, he is in very good shape.”

      From his Fairfax County home, Taylor has edited the white nationalist magazine American Renaissance and organized racialist conferences under the “AmRen” banner. He said that Trump should “concentrate on his natural constituency, which is white people,” suggesting that winning 65 percent of the white vote would overwhelm any Democratic gains with minorities.

      When Trump made Breitbart News CEO Steve Bannon his campaign’s chief executive last week, Taylor found reasons to celebrate. It was the latest sign for white nationalists, once dismissed as fringe, that their worldview was gaining popularity and that the old Republican Party was coming to an end.


      The rise of the alt-right — named for the Alternative Right website that the “identitarian” nationalist Richard Spencer set up in 2010 and adopted by those opposed to multiculturalism and mass immigration — has come to define how many of its adherents see Trump. There’s less talk now about a “pivot,” or a moment when Trump will adopt the ideas of people that he conquered. His strategy now resembles the alt-right dream of maximizing the white vote — even as polling shows his standing with white voters falls short of Mitt Romney’s in 2012.

      Trump’s newest speeches, read from a teleprompter, hit all of their favorite notes. “I don’t think Trump had mentioned ‘sanctuary cities’ previously,” Spencer said in an interview. “There’s reason to believe that Bannon is returning him to his powerful, populist message — indeed, honing it. [Former campaign chairman Paul] Manafort was turning Trump into a standard Republican, with the [Mike] Pence [vice-presidential] choice, the economic policy, talk of how ‘Hillary is the real racist,’ if not quite in those words. Bannon is making me hope again, making Trump Trump again.”

      Although there is no data gauging the size of the alt-right, its adherents point to Trump’s primary victories as proof that their ideas have been winning. They are so active on social media, from Twitter to Reddit, that critics are beginning to feel overwhelmed.

      Breitbart, not founded as part of their movement, became a welcoming place for it. The site found millions of new readers clicking on stories about “black crime” and the threat of Syrian refugees. At Breitbart, undocumented immigrants are “illegals,” Black Lives Matter activists venerate “cop-
      killer heroes,” and Gold Star father Khizr Khan is a busy promoter of sharia law. Michael Brown, the man whose death kicked off the protests in Ferguson, Mo., was unfairly mythologized by the media.

      Kurt Bardella, who handled Breitbart’s public relations until the spring, said that Bannon’s staff meetings were roiled by discussions of Islam and mass immigration.

      “It was stuff like ‘these people don’t belong here, they’re overrunning our country,’ ” he said. “That kind of white nationalist sentiment.”

      Trump, who has frequently linked or retweeted white nationalists and decried them only under pressure, gave frequent interviews to Breitbart. Already supportive of the Trump campaign, people like Taylor see Bannon’s move and the change in Trump’s tone as validation.


      “Imagine a media that was more Breitbart than New York Times,” Taylor said. “Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown have been even more important than Trump, in one respect. They are the people who make whites realize that what the media have been telling them about race relations is simply wrong.”

      Hillary Clinton’s campaign has treated all of this as a gift. Hours after Bannon’s hire was official, Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook held a conference call denouncing Breitbart — a taster for a series of email pitches and finger-wagging statements to come.

      Breitbart News was dismissive. “They say that we are ‘anti-
      Semitic,’ though our company was founded by Jews, is largely staffed by Jews, and has an entire section dedicated to reporting on and defending the Jewish state of Israel,” site Chief Financial Officer Larry Solov and editor in chief Alex Marlow said in a statement. “They call us ‘racist,’ even though her husband’s law enforcement policies led to mass incarceration of blacks.”

      That reaction, however, didn’t reflect Breitbart’s coverage of crime or of the alt-right. Last month, Breitbart reporter Katie McHugh referred to the criminal justice overhauls favored by some Republicans as “prison break legislation” that’s “un-compassionate to crime victims.”

      Bannon, who directed conservative documentaries before he took over the site, kept Breitbart and its companion Sirius XM series entertaining. Sam Nunberg, a former Trump staffer, recalled that Breitbart interviewed Trump even when much of the media considered him a celebrity joke candidate.

      “The problem in the conservative movement is it’s boring,” Bannon said in a May 19 exchange with the site’s technology editor and rising star Milo Yiannopoulos. “[If] you’re boring me, you’re losing my attention.”

      The alt-right was decidedly not boring. Its arguments about what a winning, identity-based politics might look like were embraced by readers. Its writers embraced the torrent of jokes and memes from the alt-right, which portrayed Trump as a sort of trickster god and establishment Republicans as low-energy “cucks” — the derogatory name referencing cuckolding and given to anyone seen to be selling out to liberals.

      “Had they been serious about defending humanism, liberalism and universalism, the rise of the alternative right might have been arrested,” Yiannopoulos wrote in a sympathetic March profile of the alt-right. “All they had to do was argue for common humanity in the face of black and feminist identity politics, for free speech in the face of the regressive Left’s censorship sprees, and for universal values in the face of left-wing moral relativism.”

      Yiannopoulos was banned from Twitter recently after leading a short harassment campaign against “Saturday Night Live” star Leslie Jones.

      Breitbart’s coverage, and the alt-right in general, advance a theory that a left-behind wing of conservatives have screamed about for decades. In the 1980s, figures such as Pat Buchanan and the late Sam Francis warned that the left was transforming the country without much resistance from the Republican establishment. In an essay, Francis argued that “Middle American Radicals” hardly understood their potential influence.

      “MARs form a class — not simply a middle class and not simply an economic category — that is in revolt against the dominant patterns and structures of American society,” Francis wrote. “Liberalism and cosmopolitanism were able, through their immense appeal to an intelligentsia, to portray localism and decentralized institutions as a mask for bigotry and selfishness.”

      But Francis and other “paleoconservatives” lost a battle inside the Republican Party to people who thought it could grow its appeal to nonwhite voters. In an interview with The Washington Post this month, Speaker of the House Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) used the term “alt-right crowd” to refer to the people that Jack Kemp, his mentor and former congressman from New York, had helped to purge. Ryan called the group out of the mainstream and, in other interviews ahead of his primary, which he won by 66 percentage points, he did not argue with radio hosts when they linked the alt-right to racist elements.

      The National Review’s Ramesh Ponnuru, whose project to reform the mainstream conservative movement was waylaid by the Trump victory, said, “The alt-right just isn’t much of a movement, something that separates it from Goldwaterite conservatism after the 1964 election.

      “Bannon isn’t willing to own his own site’s comment section, which is mainstream alt-right,” Ponnuru said. “I have grave concerns about the future of conservatism and the Republican Party, but the alt-right sweeping all before it isn’t one of them.”

      In the meantime, the alt-right theory of politics is going through its first presidential campaign. Trump’s latest “pivot” has streamlined his arguments, not moderated them; it has promoted the people who agree with the alt-right, not a bid for the center.

      “I’m honestly delighted that Trump is putting a team together that has such reasonable views on immigration,” said Jason Richwine, a policy analyst who left the Heritage Foundation after a backlash to his study of race and IQ and who has appeared on Breitbart’s XM show. “This was almost impossible to imagine even just a year ago. Whatever you might think of his campaign in general, it’s clear that Trump has opened up space to talk about immigration in a way we haven’t been able to before.”

      At this year’s American Renaissance conference, Trump’s success was a popular and unifying subject. Peter Brimelow, the founder of VDare.com — named for Virginia Dare, the first white person born in America — used his speech to mock the failure of the Republican establishment and ask whether white voters were ready to become the dominant political bloc.

      “What the GOP needs to do is Southernize the white vote,” Brimelow said. “You need to have everybody in the country voting the way that Southern whites vote.”

      Trump’s new message — the combination of immigration restriction and the appeal to black voters — was no contradiction. Last year, in a November interview with Bannon, Trump regretted the loss of a worker who took his skills back to his native India.

      “We’ve got to be able to keep great people in the country,” Trump said. “We have to be careful of that, Steve. I think you agree with that, Steve?”

      Bannon did not. “A country is more than an economy,” he retorted. “We are a civic society.”

      In his speeches this week, Trump has twinned his pitch to black voters with his warning about unchecked immigration. “Hillary Clinton would rather provide a job to a refugee from overseas than to give that job to unemployed African American youth,” he has said. That pitch, said Buchanan, could help Trump with the white voters who worry that by voting for him, they are endorsing racism.

      “White folks are not monolithic,” Buchanan said. “You want middle America and moderates to know that you care about these folks, too. They’re the first ones who suffer when the shopping centers burn down.”


      At Trump’s rally in Charlotte, one of the first of the Bannon era, the message was sinking in. Frances Johnson, 68, said that the polls were not reflecting Trump’s real level of support and that she sometimes emailed the campaign with ideas on how to change that. The pitch to black voters, she said, was smart.

      “I really don’t think that African Americans want to be stuck where they are,” Johnson said. “They’re basically glorified slaves — they get free this, free that, free this, free that, and they can’t get a good job and depend on the government. What else do you call it?”

      Ken Baswell, 55, was worried that Trump had not put enough TV ads on the air. If he did, he said, he would be trying to inject some truth into a media landscape that lacked it.

      “I just want something other than what they’re pushing in mainstream America,” he said. “I want to know the real stuff going on behind the scenes, because I’m not stupid. I’m not a sheep.”

      Robert Costa, Jenna Johnson and Frances Sellers contributed to this report.

          What if Trump won't accept defeat?

          As their nominee unravels, Republicans worry where his scorched-earth, rigged-election rhetoric leads the GOP and the country.


          By ELI STOKOLS 08/22/16 05:01 AM EDT

          .

          Donald Trump is on track to lose in November and to refuse to accept the legitimacy of that Election Day result. That’s a problem not just for Hillary Clinton but for both political parties and the country. For everyone, really, other than Donald Trump.

          By hiring Breitbart News’ Steve Bannon, a media provocateur in his own image, and accepting the resignation of the man who was supposed to professionalize him, Trump is signaling the final 78 days of his presidential campaign will be guided by a staff that indulges his deeply held conspiracy theories and validates his hermetically sealed worldview.

          That includes his insistence that the only way he loses is in a “rigged” election. According to two long-time Trump associates, the notion of a fixed election isn’t just viewed as smart politics inside Trump Tower; it’s something the GOP nominee believes.

          “If he loses, [he’ll say] ‘It’s a rigged election.’ If he wins, he’ll say it was rigged and he beat it. And that’s where this is headed no matter what the outcome is,” said one Trump ally. “If Donald Trump loses, he is going to point the finger at the media and the GOP establishment. I can’t really picture him giving a concession speech, whatever the final margin.”

          “It’s the same as how he looks at the polls,” said another close Trump confidant. “Any poll that shows him ahead, he likes. Any poll that shows him behind, he thinks it’s rigged.”

          Trump began to suggest that the election would be “fixed” last month, as Clinton opened a lead following July’s party conventions. “The only way we can lose, in my opinion — I really mean this, Pennsylvania — is if cheating goes on,” Trump said at a rally in Altoona. Days earlier in Wilmington, North Carolina, he’d warned that without stronger voter identification laws people would be “voting 15 times for Hillary.” The first image of a Trump campaign ad, released on Friday, is that of a polling place as a narrator alleges “the system” is “rigged”; and his campaign has already begun recruiting volunteers to monitor polling places, specifically in urban precincts where African-American voters, very few of whom support Trump, predominate.

          Trump’s words are having an effect. Just 38 percent of Trump supporters believe their votes will be counted accurately, and only 49 percent of all registered voters are “very confident” their votes will be tabulated without error, according to a Pew Research survey last week.

          The implications — short- and long-term — are serious. Interviews with more than a dozen senior GOP operatives suggest growing panic that Trump’s descent down this alt-right rabbit hole and, beyond that, his efforts to delegitimize the very institutions that undergird American democracy — the media and the electoral process itself — threaten not just their congressional majorities or the party’s survival but, potentially, the stability of the country’s political system.

          “We’ve never had a presidential candidate who has questioned the legitimacy of an electoral outcome nationally,” said Dan Senor, who was a foreign policy adviser to Mitt Romney’s 2012 campaign. “This does take us to a whole new world if the actual presidential candidate is questioning the legitimacy of this process, and the damage to our democracy could be substantial.”

          In 2008, even as some on the far right questioned Barack Obama’s legitimacy as president based on false suggestions he was not born in America, John McCain conceded quickly. Most notably, after the Supreme Court’s 2001 Bush v. Gore decision, countless Democrats complained that the result was unjust — but Al Gore and Joe Lieberman did not.

          “Among the values most necessary for a functioning democracy is the peaceful transition of power that’s gone on uninterrupted since 1797. What enables that is the acceptance of the election’s outcome by the losers,” said Steve Schmidt, the GOP operative who was McCain’s campaign strategist in 2008.

          “Here you have a candidate after a terrible three weeks, which has all been self-inflicted, saying the only way we lose is if it’s ‘rigged’ or stolen — in a media culture where people increasingly don’t buy into generally accepted facts and turn to places to have their opinions validated where there’s no wall between extreme and mainstream positions. That’s an assault on some of the pillars that undergird our system. People need to understand just how radical a departure this is from the mean of American politics.”

          Should Trump opt not to concede after a loss or deliberately roil his supporters and spark uprisings by refusing to accept the legitimacy of the election results, he would still have little recourse to alter a significant electoral victory for Clinton. Only if the election were close, hinging on one or two states where there were alleged voting irregularities, could Trump seriously contest the result in court.

          But beyond who wins the White House in November, many Republicans fear that Trump’s efforts to diminish people’s confidence in mainstream media, fair elections and politics itself will have a lasting impact.

          “The damage this is going to do to various institutions is going to be long term,” said Charlie Sykes, a prominent conservative radio host in Milwaukee who has been one of the country’s most outspoken and consistent anti-Trump voices. “How do you restore civil discourse after all of this? He is a postmodern authoritarian who’s in the process of delegitimizing every institution — the media, the ballot box — that can be a check on him.”

          Sykes, who is open about his growing discomfort with the increasingly partisan media landscape and reductive, zero-sum political culture he and his more strident cohorts have helped create, views Trump’s talk of “rigged” systems and its subsequent validation and amplification by outlets like Breitbart as “dangerous.”

          “There’s a sizable portion of his fan base that will believe these things, and it’s toxic to our democracy,” he continued. “You’re basically taking ideas and voices that have been on the fringes — justifiably — and Donald Trump is bringing them squarely into the mainstream and weaponizing them. This is something we’ve not had to confront before. At one time there were responsible voices that would have drawn some lines that would have kept these voices from dominating our discourse, and they don’t exist now.”

          Having resisted and ultimately rejected efforts by former campaign Chairman Paul Manafort and Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus to control and temper his message, Trump is seemingly rededicating himself to the pugilistic populism, the economic nationalism and ethnic tribalism that have so endeared him to the conservative base — and so limited his appeal beyond it.

          Kellyanne Conway, the pollster whose hiring as campaign manager was announced the same day as Bannon’s as campaign CEO, might have given Republicans exasperated by Trump’s inability to pivot a glimmer of confidence that the nominee was tackling one of his biggest problems, a 30-point deficit to Clinton with college-educated white women — if not for Bannon’s plan to “let Trump be Trump,” which is likely to undercut her efforts.

          Trump’s late efforts over the weekend to reach an African-American constituency that’s almost entirely written him off illustrate just how unlikely it may be that Trump’s own words will be consistent enough to persuade the skeptics. At a rally in Michigan, he swung from predicting he’d win 95 percent of black voters in a reelection bid (polls show he’ll be lucky to win 5 percent this year) to patronizing them into supporting him. “You're living in poverty, your schools are no good, you have no jobs,” he said. “Fifty-eight percent of your youth is unemployed. What the hell do you have to lose?”

          Republicans worry about Trump’s coarseness and his forays into racism, anti-Semitism, misogyny and unconstitutional religious tests coming to define the party itself, especially for a new generation of Americans.

          “If the Republican Party wants to be a governing party again, it has to think about how representative it is of the American people as a whole,” said Lanhee Chen, a fellow at Stanford’s Hoover Institution and an adviser to Marco Rubio and other Republicans. “It’s tough to do that when the premise of a campaign seems to be exclusion and separation. I think it’s very hard to get to a place where you have a party that people see as representing all of the diverse interests of the country.”

          Chen and others point to one potential silver lining: that thus far in this election cycle, Trumpism has worked only for Trump. Paul Nehlen, whose primary challenge of Speaker Paul Ryan was effectively engineered by Bannon and aided by Breitbart’s daily drumbeat of anti-establishment propaganda, drew a measly 15 percent of the vote on primary day. And mainstream conservative donors have successfully taken out a handful of tea party incumbents in other primaries, demonstrating that parroting Trump’s language may not work for candidates other than Trump.

          But these operatives understand that Trump, even if he is humiliated on Election Day, is unlikely to quietly exit the political stage, and his most ardent cheerleaders, unlikely to admit their candidate never had a chance.

          “I can’t see the fever swamp, alt-reality media universe on the right learning the lessons of this,” Sykes said. “Can you see Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham saying, ‘OK, sorry, we screwed up’?”

          And many worry that the newly consummated Trump-Breitbart partnership will endure, perhaps in another form — and that both men will be eager to exact revenge.

          “What I worry about is that they’re looking past November at forming a different party — that they’ve used the GOP as a vehicle to build this following and that then they just go and build something new,” said Katie Packer, Romney’s deputy campaign manager in 2012 and the leader of an anti-Trump super PAC.

          “That’s damaging because some of these people who like Trump should be Republicans. My hope is that if he loses big, anyone who’s not a racist nationalist says ‘Never again’ and the racist nationalists just retreat to their basements where they belong. But my fear is that Bannon and Trump uniting could be about them looking to do something long-term that would ensure this fringe element remains.”

            What Is The Alt-Right?

            What Is The Alt-Right?

            Defining the Alt-Right



            http://www.occidentaldissent.com/201...the-alt-right/
            http://christian-identity.net/forum/...5102#post15102
            http://whitenationalist.org/forum/sh...5102#post15102



            .


            The #TruCons and the #LyingPress are all floating their own self-serving definitions in light of Hillary’s big speech this afternoon which will attack the Alt-Right. The whole point of the speech is to distract the public from her own exploding scandals and to derail Trump’s ongoing pivot to the center of the electorate.

            It is a naked political move. Even the reporters covering the campaign know this. For the moment, the Alt-Right is said to have taken over the Trump campaign and the Republican Party, even through Trump himself has never once mentioned the Alt-Right. We’ve taken over the Republican Party because Trump hired Stephen Bannon who runs Breitbart as his campaign CEO which employs Milo Yiannopoulos who writes about the Alt-Right and who knows some of the key figures in the movement.

            Before we define the Alt-Right, it is important to first define its nemesis Conservatism, Inc., which the Alt-Right has always been a reaction against:

            What Is Conservatism, Inc.?

            1.) At the apex of Conservatism, Inc., you have the donor class, which is basically a group of millionaires and billionaires whose primary concern in life – there are other concerns such as signaling their high social status – is protecting their money from the grasping hands of “big gubmint.” This is the definition of “freedom.”

            2.) The donor class funds a vast array of think tanks, organizations, and shills who work for print and online magazines – the network we call Conservatism, Inc. – whose job it is to convince you that “big gubmint” is destroying everything great and good in America and that letting rich people keep their money and be free from onerous regulations is the solution to every problem under the sun. The teachers unions, for example, are responsible for the low IQ of African-American students in Detroit’s schools.

            3.) Philosophically, the pundit class defines #TruConservatism in the United States as conserving classical liberalism. This is somewhat confusing to Europeans that an older version of liberalism is called “conservatism” in the United States whereas in Europe it has always meant the old order that liberalism destroyed. In Europe, “conservatism” is often associated with statism rather than anti-statism. Anyway, when the #TruCons talk about their precious “principles,” what they mean is classical liberalism.

            4.) Okay, so … even the #TruCons know that their classical liberal principles aren’t sufficient to build a winning electoral coalition, which is why they have grafted all this religious baggage onto #TruConservatism in order to appeal to Christian voters in the Heartland. The same is true of fomenting new wars and preserving the military industrial complex. It doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with classical liberalism (classical liberals used to hate standing armies), but it is necessary to win.

            5.) The whole point of “Conservatism, Inc.” is to build an electoral coalition strong enough to win the presidency and advance the interests of its investors. Rich people care about two things: their money and their status.

            This has created an insoluble problem for Conservatism, Inc: in order for the scam to work, it is necessary to pump up its base voters by getting them angry about, say, trannies in the restroom, aborting babies, or illegal aliens destroying the country. Then once the #TruCon politicians are elected to office, their job becomes things like deregulating Wall Street, pushing new free-trade agreements, cutting taxes, pushing “comprehensive immigration reform,” etc. The donor class also looks down its nose at the hoi polloi.

            Inevitably, the hoi polloi which has won so many elections for Conservatism, Inc. begins to wonder: why haven’t these people succeeded in conserving anything? After all these elections they have won and all this money they have been given, why has their been such a poor return on our investment? The answer is that the things being “conserved” (the tax cuts, the free-trade agreements, deregulation, the union busting, the social safety net cuts, etc.) are the things the donors care about.

            Conservatism, Inc. never cared about winning the culture wars. The donors who finance the project were always on the other side. They protested loudly when Indiana and Arkansas passed religious freedom laws. They have relentlessly pushed for amnesty for illegal aliens and all kinds of things which are anathema to the “base.” They look down on the “base” because they want to be seen as “respectable” by their liberal friends.

            Conservatism, Inc.’s biggest internal problem right now is that the shill/pundit class has collectively decided it wants to signal its status too. They want to be seen as “one of the good ones” by leftists in their own social class who tend to live in the same areas. Their job is to appeal to and motivate the predominantly White working class base voters to turnout for the right candidates in elections. They can’t do that though by insinuating the base voters are a bunch of religious kooks and knuckle dragging racists.

            The Republican signaling structure has broken down. This is why we are talking about Donald Trump and the Alt-Right instead of Jeb Bush or Marco Rubio.

            What Is The Alt-Right?

            The Alt-Right is not just a populist or nationalist revolt against Conservatism, Inc. Most of Trump’s supporters now fully accept our critique of Conservatism, Inc. Few of these people grasp where the Alt-Right is coming from or have even heard of the Alt-Right. They are more accurately called “Alt-Right Lite” or “Nationalist Lite.”

            Breitbart.com is now the main purveyor of “Alt-Right Lite.” My sense is that they are doing this because our message strikes a chord and most importantly it sells and has amassed a large audience. It generates clicks and shares which generates a lucrative revenue stream for them. Stephen Bannon is a smart businessman and something of a bomb thrower by reputation, but I have never seen any evidence he is Alt-Right.

            The Alt-Right has three hallmark characteristics:

            1.) Realism – First, the most important characteristic of the Alt-Right is radical realism. By that I mean that Alt-Right is non-ideological and analyses almost every question from the perspective of whether or not it is true.

            The Alt-Right has a reputation for “racism.” That’s because the Alt-Right looks at the question of racial equality, demands to see the evidence, and draws the conclusion it is just a bunch of bullshit we are supposed to believe. The Alt-Right looks at places like Detroit, Haiti, sub-Saharan Africa and so on, shrugs its shoulders, and suggests “not really.” There isn’t a school district in the United States which has ever demonstrated the existence of racial equality under controlled conditions. The evidence for racial equality is less plausible than Medieval alchemists trying to turn lead into gold.

            There are any number of other questions to where this way of looking at the world is applied. The existence of abstract universal human rights, for example, is derived from stories created by idiot savants about a “State of Nature” or an “Original Position” that never existed. The Alt-Right prefers to examine the question of “human rights” by looking to history and biology as our guide. Seen in this light, the emergence of universal human rights looks much more like an outgrowth of the West’s own peculiar culture.

            I could continue with other examples like biological differences between men and women. The egalitarian fictions we are told by feminists in that area are also waylaid by reality. We’re forced by society to believe in things which the evidence suggests aren’t true.

            2.) Identity – Second, the Alt-Right’s interest in identity is an outgrowth of its radical realism. The Alt-Right’s analysis of history and biology has led us to the conclusion that human beings ARE NOT primarily individuals. On the contrary, we are tribal beings who invariably divide the world into in-groups and out-groups, and those tribes have always been in a primordial struggle for DOMINANCE.

            Liberals tell themselves a cute story about how individuals once exited a “State of Nature” and came together to draw up a social contract in which they parted ways with some of their inalienable rights to create “society.” But that’s not really what happened now is it? The evidence suggests that prehistoric man lived a life that was nothing like this liberal fantasy. There is no evidence either that “society” was created as it was said to have been created – like a lawyer’s contract – in the liberal origin myth.

            The timeless struggle for DOMINANCE between rival groups is why we have POLITICS.

            3.) Iconoclasm – Third, the Alt-Right has a strong Nietzchean streak. Even if many of us have studied Nietzsche at one point in our lives and moved on as we grew older, we still tend to relish creating mischief. We enjoy smashing idols.

            In the United States, liberals, progressives, conservatives, and libertarians are all branches of the common liberal family. All these groups want to preserve the fundamental liberal world order even if they disagree on whether “liberty” or “equality” should be given priority and fight viciously with each other. They all share the same blinkered liberal worldview in which more “liberty” or more “equality” is the solution to every problem.

            We don’t belong to the liberal family. We’re see ourselves as something else altogether. This is why, for example, so many of us enjoy trolling because we don’t believe in any of the standard bullshit – for example, nothing is less self-evident to us than the notion that all men are created equal – and political correctness is an irresistible target.

            Everything else about the Alt-Right is downstream from the source: “cuckservative,” Pepe the Frog, Meme Magic, and so on. It is very Alt-Right to call Leslie Jones a black dude, tell Bruce Jenner he is still a man because his delusion hasn’t changed his DNA, to blurt out that Jews are controlling the media or that freedom failed in Africa and Haiti all which is true but something you are not allowed to say.

            It’s easy to see why the Alt-Right and Conservatism, Inc. doesn’t get along. Conservatism, Inc. kowtows to the reigning liberal taboos. The Alt-Right lives to smash them.

            Note: The media is now sharing this Walt Bismarck video from the 2016 Amren conference which is humorous summary of the last 15 years.

              The Alt-Right’s Dark Army of Racist Trolls Just Had a Great Day

              .

              IT’S BEEN A heckuva day for the trolls.

              In just one day, the so-called “alt right”—a political faction that spreads white supremacist ideology primarily online—has come to dominate the national news cycle. Today, they’ve had a hashtag, #AltRightMeans, trending on Twitter; they’ve gotten high praise from Donald Trump, who swore up and down this community isn’t racist; and then came the cherry on top: an impassioned speech by Hillary Clinton in which she called out their members, who have banded together behind Trump, by name.

              What more could a dark army of trolls want? It didn’t take long until they started celebrating on the same online portals they’ve used as recruiting tools since the term “alt right” first popped up around 2008.

              .
              .

              This once-fringe movement is now standing center stage. In her speech today, Clinton called Trump’s decision to hire alt-right champion Steve Bannon, formerly of Breitbart News, a “landmark achievement for this group.”

              “There’s always been a paranoid fringe in our politics, a lot of it arising from racial resentment, but it’s never had the nomination of a major party stoking it, encouraging it and giving it a national megaphone until now,” Clinton said. She’s right about that, but she missed an important point. Trump isn’t the only one giving the alt-right a microphone. So is social media.

              To be clear, there is only one answer to the hashtag #AltRightMeans. It means white supremacy, researchers say, plain and simple.

              “Race is at the foundation of everything to the alt-righters,” says Mark Potok, a senior fellow at the Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks the alt-right movement as a hate group. “They have this idea that white people and white civilization is under assault by the forces of political correctness, by social justice and so on.”

              The term “alt-right” is merely a rebranding of an ideology with deep, dark historic roots, says Jessie Daniels, a professor of sociology at Hunter College and author of the book Cyber Racism. In fact, you could say it’s a “dog whistle” for white supremacy. “People who are in the United States, mostly white people, are uncomfortable saying white supremacy,” Daniels says. “They’re more comfortable saying alt-right”

              And social media has been an important vehicle for that rebranding, she says, because it’s a place where, for better or worse, all ideas can have equal weight, regardless of where they originate. “It creates an equivalence of ideas, the undermining of expertise,” Daniels says. “That’s part of what has given them more power. No one’s an expert or everyone’s an expert. White supremacists saw that and got that early on and use that to their advantage.”

              Where white supremacists once gathered around a burning cross, now they gather on 4chan, in white power Reddit forums, and hashtags like #WhiteGenocide, and in the comments section for media outlets like Breitbart. Where the Ku Klux Klan had its own nomenclature, alt-righters have developed their own social media slang and portmanteaus, like “cuckservative,” a combination of the words “cuckold” and “conservative.” It’s a racially tinged and sexually charged term, Potok says, that refers to white men allowing black men to have sex with their wives. They even have their own unifying symbols, like the “echo,” three enclosed parentheses used to single out Jewish names, and Pepe the Frog, a meme now commonly used by the alt-right.

              What’s more, Daniels says, the Internet lets white supremacists around the world unite, no matter where they live or what specific grievance is stoking their bigotry. “It makes an explicitly racist white identity possible across national boundaries,” she says. In that way, these white nationalists have created their own nation with its own rules of entry, its own values, and its own language. It’s just that this nation lives online.

              There’s little doubt that Trump is now its de facto leader, but this week, Trump has been trying his best to distance himself from this darkness. In a town hall with conservative talk show host Sean Hannity, he walked back his promise to deport 11 million undocumented immigrants from the US. And during his speech today, he cast Clinton’s efforts to exploit his support among known white supremacists as “tired.”

              “It’s the oldest play in the Democratic playbook,” Trump said. “It’s the last refuge of the discredited politician.”

              But Clinton didn’t appear tired in what was, perhaps, this election season’s most scathing rebuke of Trump’s candidacy. Clinton condemned Trump for “taking hate groups mainstream and helping a radical fringe take over the Republican party.” She reminded voters of Trump’s well-documented roots in the birther movement, which tried unsuccessfully to prove President Barack Obama wasn’t born in the United States. She mentioned the time Trump retweeted the Twitter account of a neo-Nazi.

              .

              .

              She highlighted Trump’s failure to disavow Klansman David Duke and compared Trump’s plans to institute an ideological test to the type of thing the Islamic State does to control its own population.

              “What a cruel irony that someone running for president would equate us with them,” she said.

              She noted the Justice Department’s racial bias suit against Trump, which accused his real estate management firm of discriminating against black renters and marking their applications with a “C” for “colored.”

              But the impact Clinton’s speech has had—eliciting so many gleeful responses from the very people she was denouncing—also reflects just how difficult it is to stop the alt-right movement from metastasizing. Like the parent of an unruly child throwing a tantrum in the super market, she has a choice: to condemn that behavior loudly and publicly at the risk of escalating the drama or to ignore it altogether and risk being irresponsible for allowing it to continue ceaselessly.

              And now that the trolls have come out from under the bridge, it’s a choice we all must face.

                Trump, Hillary, & the Alt Right

                Trump, Hillary, & the Alt Right


                http://www.counter-currents.com/2016...the-alt-right/

                1,487 words

                I am a White Nationalist, and I want Donald Trump to be the next president of the United States. Trump, however, is not a White Nationalist. He is a civic nationalist. But he supports policies consistent with White Nationalism, most importantly halting and reversing illegal (and primarily non-white) immigration, stopping Muslim immigration, and instituting economic protectionism and an America-first foreign policy.

                I want what Trump wants, but Trump does not want what I want. He wants to make America great again. I want to make America white again. I like Trump’s policies not as ends in themselves, but as possible steps in that direction. In short, my endorsement of Trump only goes one way. The fact that I like his policies does not mean that he would like mine.

                So if Mr. Trump were to be asked, “What do you think of the endorsement of notorious White Nationalist Greg Johnson?” I would hope that he would say something to this effect:


                If White Nationalists support my efforts to make America great again, that is to their credit. I want their money, votes, and good wishes. But their endorsement of my policies does not imply my endorsement of their policies. We have different political philosophies and goals.
                And that would be that.

                But political reality is not so tidy. The Democrats and the press are anxious to tie Mr. Trump to the “Alternative Right,” which includes White Nationalism, because they hope it will scare voters. Certain Alt Rightists are happy to cooperate with them because they are looking for publicity. And Mr. Trump has not been particularly deft in deflecting the efforts of either group.

                I believe that Mr. Trump’s views on immigration have been influenced by Ann Coulter’s Adios America. And one influence on Coulter’s book is clearly the immigration restrictionist movement which includes VDare.com, which has been around a lot longer than the Alt Right, but which clearly falls under that umbrella.

                But I doubt Trump knows or cares about the pedigree of such ideas. Nor should it matter. The only thing that matters is whether these ideas are true. And it is true that immigration restriction is good for America, whether you are a White Nationalist like me or a civic nationalist like Trump.

                But as much as we would love to influence Trump, as soon as the Alt Right came on his radar, his campaign reportedly blacklisted contact with all Alt Right figures.

                There is no relationship between Trump and the Alt Right, just a one-way man-crush.

                But both Leftists and Alt-Right publicity hounds have selfish interests in proclaiming spurious connections. And American voters are stupid or naive enough to believe them. Which worries me, because this election could be really, really close, and the Alt Right canard might put Hillary Clinton in the White House.

                But I really want Mr. Trump to win, so I have been declining invitations from American mainstream media outlets to comment on Trump and the Alt Right, simply because I do not want to give aid to the lying press’ latest “gotcha” campaign. (I did give an interview on the Alt Right to a French Marxist writer, but unlike American journalists, she is a serious intellectual, and her angle has nothing to do with Trump.)

                But now Hillary Clinton is preparing another “vast Right-wing conspiracy” speech linking Trump to the Alt Right. This is a sound strategy. Hillary Clinton has never gotten anywhere on her own merit. She owes everything to men. She would never have been senator, Secretary of State, or the Democratic nominee without her marriage to Bill Clinton. So it is natural for her to hope that Donald Trump will put her in the White House.

                Hillary can’t run on her record, which includes supporting every foreign policy debacle of the last 15 years. She is both corrupt and incompetent. She lacks warmth and charisma. Her health is obviously failing. She could not even get the Democratic nomination without cheating. So how can she possibly win the presidency in an honest campaign?

                Obviously, her campaign strategy is to limit her public exposure as much as possible and hope that Trump loses the election due to dishonest press coverage. However, as Ryan Faulk pointed out, Trump has recently adopted a more disciplined and scripted speaking style, which has disrupted the media’s “gaffe of the day” commentary cycle, so Hillary has been forced to come out of seclusion and press the attack herself.

                Hillary is an intellectual lightweight, and so are her speechwriters, so she’ll probably just rehash the lazy-minded, slapdash research of American journalists and the shekel-grubbing hacks at the Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center.

                No, the Alt-Right has not arrived. No, the Alt-Right has not finally been taken seriously. The Alt-Right is simply being brandished like a swastika or a flaming cross to scare the goyim and to stigmatize a new and potent threat to liberalism and globalization.

                But, as Aedon Cassiel argues, these kinds of attacks tend to backfire and promote the growth of the Alt Right and the Trump campaign. The speech probably won’t hurt Trump or help Hillary, but it will certainly send readers to Alt-Right websites, which is good for us.

                So, if this is your first visit to Counter-Currents or any Alt-Right site, welcome. Let me show you around.

                First of all, I don’t really like the term “Alternative Right,” which does not refer to a specific political philosophy but is instead a broad umbrella term referring to any tendency that rejects mainstream conservatism, no matter how different they may be in fundamental principles and political goals. I, however, have a very specific political philosophy and agenda, which is simply not compatible with a lot of Alt-Right tendencies.

                I prefer to call myself a White Nationalist, because my goal is the creation of racially and ethnically homogeneous homelands for whites. (See Aedon Cassiel’s “Ethnonationalism for Normies” and my Frequently Asked Questions, Part 1.) White ethnonationalism is not compatible with either imperialism or civic nationalism, both of which are represented in the Alt Right.

                I also call myself a New Rightist, because I reject the political strategies of inter-war European fascist movements in favor of a “metapolitical” strategy of deconstructing the reigning Leftist ideas and values and creating a new Rig,t-wing intellectual and cultural hegemony. (See my “New Right vs. Old Right,” “On the Necessity of a New Right,” and “Hegemony.”) This approach is not compatible with either “Old Right” (fascist) revivalists or political mainstreamers, both of which are camps in the Alt Right.

                Finally, I believe that whites will never regain control of our own destinies without understanding the role of Jewish power in our societies and then freeing ourselves from it, thus I am both an anti-Semite and a Zionist, since I believe that Jews belong in their own homeland, not in ours. (See my “Reframing the Jewish Question” and “White Nationalism and Jewish Nationalism.”) Obviously, this approach is not compatible with those represented by the Jews and philo-Semites in the Alt Right camp.

                Of course the very vagueness of the term “Alternative Right” recommends it to a lot of people, who are not comfortable with taking such clear-cut positions. I don’t begrudge them such cover. Indeed, I am glad that they feel comfortable in this movement, and I will support it as long as it functions as a marketplace of ideas that allows me to reach intelligent and open-minded people searching for genuine alternatives to liberalism, multiculturalism, and globalization.

                But the same vagueness also allows our enemies to play guilt-by-association games. Steve Bannon of Breitbart now runs the Trump campaign. Breitbart publishes Milo Yiannopolous, who has written positive things about the Alt Right and is loosely associated with it. Thus Bannon, and by extension Trump, are part of the same vast and sinister Right-wing conspiracy as Greg Johnson and David Duke. Yes, it is just that childish.

                But luckily you have arrived at a place where we will not insult your intelligence. The Alt Right is not an ideology, in which all participants have a common set of principles. It is a debate about ideology, in which the participants share a common set of enemies but sharply disagree on basic principles and political goals. Unlike the political, academic, and media mainstream, the Alternative Right is a free debate, untrammeled by false sanctimony and Political Correctness. That’s why so many people find it downright addictive.

                As an aid to further exploration, I wish to leave you with a desert island list of ten of my articles that can serve as a starting point for exploring White Nationalism and the New Right:

                “Confessions of a Reluctant Hater”
                “White Extinction”
                “White Genocide”
                “Irreconcilable Differences: The Case for Racial Divorce”
                “The Slow Cleanse”
                “Why Conservatives Conserve Nothing”
                “In Defense of Prejudice”
                “The End of Globalization”
                “Money for Nothing”
                “Spend Yourself, Save the World”
                Welcome to the best neighborhood of the Alt Right.[/SIZE]

                  Whose Alt-Right Is It Anyway?

                  Whose Alt-Right Is It Anyway?


                  https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/...ight-it-anyway

                  Hours before Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton is scheduled to deliver a speech in Reno, Nev., slamming Donald Trump for his connections to the Alt-Right, the racist core leadership of the ideology is collectively tripping over itself trying to take credit for its unexpected success.

                  Clinton’s speech comes a little more than a week after the Trump campaign announced the hiring of Stephen Bannon, the controversial executive chairman of Breitbart News LLC.

                  A former staffer has accused Bannon of running meetings at Breitbart like white supremacist rallies. Ben Shapiro, formerly of Breitbart News, has gone so far as to claim that under Bannon’s leadership:

                  .

                  Breitbart has become the alt-right go-to website, with [Milo] Yiannopoulos pushing white ethno-nationalism as a legitimate response to political correctness, and the comment section turning into a cesspool for white supremacist mememakers.
                  .

                  Last night, Richard Spencer, arguably the father of the Alt-Right, issued a press release claiming that connecting the Alt-Right to Trump and Bannon is “guilt-by-association” and that they are simply peaceful advocates for European-Americans.

                  “The truth is, the ones with a ‘dark’ and ‘dystopian’ vision are those people [groups that support an anti-white agenda] – many of whom actively support Clinton – who are setting our streets aflame and stoking violence throughout our country,” wrote Spencer.

                  He went on to ask for an apology.

                  Shapiro’s mention of Yiannopoulos is significant. In March of this year, Yiannopoulos penned a piece for Breitbart titled “An Establishment Conservatives Guide to the Alt-Right” with Allum Bokhari, his fellow Breitbart Tech editor. The primer, which has elicited outrage from both the Alt-Right and its critics, has been dismissed as patently wrong in its claims that the racist ideology is “born out of youthful, subversive, underground edges of the internet” who “understand who the authoritarians are and why and how to poke fun at them.”

                      Hillary Clinton’s Alt Right speech was a complete dud. It probably did not harm Trump or help Hillary, since Trump voters either don’t care about the Alt Right or look favorably upon it, while the only people susceptible to Hillary’s scare-mongering were already going to vote for her.

                      I had, however, hoped that Hillary’s speech would at least bring new attention to Alt Right websites like Counter-Currents. But although there was a jump in our traffic last Thursday and Friday, it had more to do with the fact that I had written an article on Hillary’s speech than on the speech itself. All my articles produce similar jumps in traffic (as do Gregory Hood’s).

                      At least as far as Counter-Currents is concerned, there is no evidence of a Hillary bump. And this is actually consistent with past experience. Counter-Currents has been mentioned and linked in the mainstream press. I can see exactly how many people follow those links to our site, and it is usually minuscule. In fact, based on their comment sections, when I publicize these links to our readers, the mainstream media gets more readers from Counter-Currents than vice-versa.



                      The explanation for this is simple. The smug, middlebrow, newspaper-reading public lacks intellectual curiosity. They are content to “Wow, just wow” and then click for more prolefeed rather than venture into the great unknown. Yes, our movement and influence are still growing, but mainstream media attention has surprisingly little to do with it. Which is one more reason to simply ignore their media and keep building our own.

                      Nevertheless, in the wake of Hillary’s speech, there was a buzz of social media activity, in which a number of people embraced the term “Alt Right.” But they either did not know what it means, or they simply wanted to redefine it in terms of . . . surprise . . . the various currents of the mainstream Right that we saw fit to discard long ago, such as civic nationalism and libertarianism.

                      Naturally, many bona fide Alt Rightists are alarmed at the prospect of our movement being co-opted or hollowed out by entryists and carpet-baggers just as we are starting to get more mainstream attention. Initially, I dismissed this fear, for four reasons.

                      First, mainstream media attention probably matters less than we think it does.

                      Second, the whole point of the “Alt Right” is to be a broad umbrella term for ideological tendencies that reject mainstream American conservatism. The Alt Right is thus defined in terms of what it is not rather than in terms of what it is. It has no “essence,” so what is the point of arguing about what it “really” is?

                      Third, instead of defending the vacuous “Alt Right,” I prefer to defend more concrete positions: White Nationalism (including its self-evident corollary anti-Semitism) and the New Right. Defending these positions has two advantages. First, they state my actual beliefs. Second, I defy any libertarian or civic nationalist to co-opt them.

                      Fourth, if we actually join battle against these entryists and carpet-baggers, we will end up defending White Nationalism, anti-Semitism, and the like anyway. So why worry about the Alt Right moniker? Just focus on the substance.

                      However, there’s another way of looking at this. Granted, the Alt Right “brand” is largely empty, aside from the fact that it negates the conservative mainstream. But meaning, like nature, abhors a vacuum. So someone will eventually endow the Alternative Right with a positive content. So it might as well be me.

                      This content will, to a great extent, be socially constructed. Meaning that people can try to offer any definition they want, but unless it is widely accepted by others, it does not matter. Thus, for a proposed meaning to stick, it must either come from someone relatively authoritative, or it must be immediately compelling, or both.

                      My definition meets both criteria, so here goes: the Alternative Right means White Nationalism — or it means nothing at all.

                      The original concept of the Alternative Right emerged from paleoconservatism. (I prefer to call it “faileoconservatism,” an evaluation that is even shared by paleocon pioneer Paul Gottfried, who declared the end of paleoconservatism and called for an “Alternative Right” in the same 2008 H. L. Mencken Club speech.)

                      Like paleoconservatism, the Alternative Right was simply a way that timid, status-conscious conservatives could flirt with racism and even anti-Semitism while maintaining some sort of pretense of mainstream credibility.

                      But when Richard Spencer started the Alternative Right webzine in 2010, the principal funders and writers regarded it simply as a vehicle for White Nationalist entryism, and they would have blown it up rather than see it become anything else. Today’s White Nationalists need to take the same strongly proprietary attitude toward the Alternative Right. It is a vehicle of White Nationalism, and we will give it the Howard Roark treatment if it is hijacked from us. Full stop. (Spencer himself torched the Alt Right webzine in 2013 for very different reasons.)

                      Your mission, should you choose accept it, is to go forth into battle and make this concept of the Alternative Right the dominant one. That is all.

                        Hewitt, Goldberg: The “core alt-right” needs to be driven from conservative ranks

                        POSTED AT 5:31 PM ON AUGUST 31, 2016 BY ED MORRISSEY

                        What is the alt-right, and do some conservatives have the wrong definition of it? Hugh Hewitt and NRO’s Jonah Goldberg got into a social-media dispute over these questions, so the two hashed it out on Hugh’s show this morning in what might be the most interesting dissection of conservatism you’ll hear this week. Jonah has spent many years at odds with what he’s now calling the “core alt-right,” and tells Hugh that many of those being identified as alt-right today are being unfairly labeled — and some are mistakenly adopting the label without understanding its provenance.

                        So what does the “core alt-right” represent? “The one thing they all agree on,” Jonah says, “is what they call racial realism, or racialism, which is just a social science sounding term for racism. … the one thing they all agree on is that we need to organize this society on the assumption that white people are genetically superior, or that white culture is inherently superior, and that we should have either state-imposed or culturally-imposed segregation between the races, no race mixing with the lower brown people.”

                        If you don’t agree with that philosophy — if you’re animated more by border security, national security, and a tougher trade policy — then you’re not really alt-right, Jonah argues. Even those who want to see the Republican establishment destroyed aren’t alt-right; they just share that goal in common, but not the core philosophy that drives it. Jonah wants people on the Right to draw that distinction clearly, in order to once again marginalize the racists:

                        .

                        .

                        HH: So there you have it, Jonah. We have been having a Twitter back and forth, and I actually don’t think we disagree. We just disagree maybe on a statement of the facts. Would you define the alt right?

                        JG: I know what you’re about to do. And then you’re going to say well, there’s this other version of the alt right. I am willing to defer to the definition of the alt right that the people who created and lead the alt right movement use, which is an, the one thing that unites them, Jared Taylor was on Diane Rehm the other day. Jared Taylor is a leading racist…

                        HH: Good. Please.

                        JG: …a member of the white alt right. And he says that there are a lot of different views among the alt right. Some are Christian, some are Odinists. Some are this, some are that. But the one thing they all agree on is what they call racial realism, or racialism, which is just a social science sounding term for racism. They believe that, if you read Richard Host (sp), if you read Richard Spencer at the, who leads an alt right think tank, if you actually read the people who created the term, who have been pushing this stuff, the one thing they all agree on is that we need to organize this society on the assumption that white people are genetically superior, or that white culture is inherently superior, and that we should have either state-imposed or culturally-imposed segregation between the races, no race mixing with the lower brown people. And I take them at their word, that that’s the stuff that they believe. And I think rather than poisoning or blurring that distinction, we should take them at their word and say we want nothing to do with any of that. And I know that you want nothing to do with any of that. I don’t dispute that for a moment. Where I disagree with you is this idea that we should sort of talk about this broader alt right that is just for the wall, or likes Donald Trump. No. What we should say is this is not your group to them, too. These are not disaffected tea partiers. These are people who we have a fundamental, first principle disagreement with. And any movement that has them in it, doesn’t have me in it, and vice versa.

                        HH: I agree 100% with that. Now does the term alt right get used exclusively in that fashion?

                        JG: No, which is one of the things that we should be doing, is we should be helping sharpen the distinction, not blur the distinction. I agree with you. There are a lot of people who don’t know what the alt right is. I live in these swamps. I’ve been having these fights for 20 years. I didn’t hear the term alt right until Donald Trump came up. But I know a lot of the people behind the alt right, because I’ve been getting it, they’ve been attacking me and then saying nasty anti-Semitic stuff to me since I started working at National Review. I mean, people are like, the guys at VDARE and these other places, they’ve all coalesced around this idea of the alt right, and it is not a coalitional idea where they want to be part of the conservative movement. It’s that they want to replace the conservative movement.

                        HH: And they have to be driven out of the Republican Party.

                        JG: Yes.

                        HH: I’m speaking as a partisan now. As William F. Buckley led the effort to drive the Birchers out of the party, so must genuine conservatives drive out what you and I agree is the core alt right.

                        JG: Right.

                        HH: In the process of doing that, I do not want people who are not familiar with how you and I believe it to be understood by the people who invented the term to think that they are being exiled. That is my fear, because I believe a lot of people, and I’ve seen it everywhere I go, say they are alt right, and they don’t know that Jonah Goldberg would then classify them as supremacist.

                        JG: Well, I wouldn’t necessarily classify them as supremacists, either. I would classify them as wrong.

                        HH: Yes.

                        JG: They’re using the term wrong. And in politics, you know, specifically, you know, I wrote a whole book which you were very kind to about the importance of labels and why they matter, and the importance of ideology and why it matters, and that we shouldn’t fall into this thing that labels don’t matter. Labels matter a great deal. The labels you choose for yourself matter a great deal. And sometimes, people choose their labels incorrectly. And so rather than say, rather than work from the assumption that someone says they’re an alt-righter, and say well, you know, I don’t know that that means you’re a racist, I would say well, what did you, you know, educate them. And people need to be educated about this.
                        I had a conversation with a couple of people at the Minnesota state fair about this phenomenon, and agree with Jonah. He mentions in the second half of the interview (you can read the full transcript here) that prior to the emergence of cost-free publishing on the Internet, the race-driven ideologues and the Birchers on the Right had no platforms on which to publish, in large part because of William F. Buckley’s famous purge. The term “alt-right” originates, I believe, from the Usenet group structure (alt.right) where those elements began organizing in the early days of the Internet as an alternative to National Review, Heritage Foundation, and other conservative institutions that controlled the dialogue.

                        The biggest problem with this sudden fascination with the alt-right is that it ignores a much larger, much more significant movement: populists on the Right that have no connection to racial politics but who are motivated instead by economics. That’s the group ignored by Republican leadership for far too long, a danger about which only a handful of Republicans warned, the most prominent of which (before 2015) was Rick Santorum. That’s the real core of Donald Trump’s support, not the traditional alt-right movement.

                        Salena Zito, one of the best reporters on heartland politics in the business, spelled out the distinction two weeks ago:

                        .

                        The Gallup analysis, based on 87,000 interviews over the past year, shows that while economic anxiety and Trump’s appeal are intertwined, his supporters for the most part do not make less than average Americans (not those in New York City or Washington, perhaps, but their Main Street peers) and are less likely to be unemployed.

                        The study backs up what many of my interviews across the state found — that these people are more concerned about their children and grandchildren.

                        While Trump supporters here are overwhelmingly white, their support has little to do with race (yes, you’ll always find one or two who make race the issue) but has a lot to do with a perceived loss of power.

                        Not power in the way that Washington or Wall Street board rooms view power, but power in the sense that these people see a diminishing respect for them and their ways of life, their work ethic, their tendency to not be mobile (many live in the same eight square miles that their father’s father’s father lived in).

                        Thirty years ago, such people determined the country’s standards in entertainment, music, food, clothing, politics, personal values. Today, they are the people who are accused of creating every social injustice imaginable; when anything in society fails, they get blamed.

                        The places where they live lack economic opportunities for the next generation; they know their children and grandchildren will never experience the comfortable situations they had growing up — surrounded by family who lived next door, able to find a great job without going to college, both common traits among many successful small-business owners in the state.

                        These Trump supporters are not the kind you find on Twitter saying dumb or racist things; many of them don’t have the time or the patience to engage in social media because they are too busy working and living life in real time.
                        .

                        In order to regain its foothold in American politics, conservatism has to recognize the issues that matter to these people and provide real answers to their problems. In order to do that, we have to make bright-line distinctions between these voters and the alt-right fringe. Lumping them together does no favors to either conservatism or these voters — but it sure makes the media happy.

                          Watching a jew and a whigger going ass-to-mouth in sweaty desperate agreement that they need to purge the Alt-Right racists and trolls while somehow separating them from the Great Unwashed Typpycull whiggers living in fly-over cuntree in the ZOGland . . . somehow.

                          The problem that they have is that Trump took away theys' declining whigger demographic and now Cuckservative Inc -- which is as dead as [S]William Fuktard Cuckley along with Leonid Breshnev -- is bereft of anyone really listening to the Lamentations of the Cucks. Them Old Whigger Tards who use-ta-could vote for Ronald McDonald and George Herbert Walker Hoover-Bush and Boob Dolt and Dumbya and the Manchurian McCaindidate and Mittens now rather worry whether iff'n theys' Social Security and Disability checks will cum in and they can trade food stamps for Oxycontin while theys' anglo-mestizo grandsspawn have run away on the Internuts to join the Daily Stormer Great Troll/Tard Alt-Right Army. Talk about irrelevancy!!! Why the National Cuckview is kept alive by payola from the Mossad and Flush Rimblow won't answer Baby Hughy Hewitt's calls. Like in the 1972 Nixon Landslide, neither the neo-cucks (Goldberg) and senile cucks (Hewitt) can see a Trump Victory because, after all, none of them know anyone who ever voted for Nixon/Trump.

                          I know how this could have becum more interesting: Say a dino-sockpuppet show with Goldberg playing a neo-khankikeosaur and Hugh Hewitt playing a bronto-whiggersaurus while a neo-trumpiam alt-right paleo-possum chews on they's walnut-sized brains located in theys' asses while a comet streaks towards Yucatan and they is about to go extinct, cum-cum, cum-cum!!!

                          I love watching train wrecks and the dying clueless bellowing of huge doomed critters not knowing that they is dead, but whom are beginning to suspect the worst.

                          Hail Victory!!!

                            White Nationalists and Nazis Said to Use Twitter With 'Relative Impunity'

                            by Reuters SEPTEMBER 1, 2016, 4:32 AM EDT

                            And they often have far more followers than militant Islamists, a new study finds.

                            White nationalists and self-identified Nazi sympathizers located mostly in the United States use Twitter with “relative impunity” and often have far more followers than militant Islamists, a study being released on Thursday found.

                            Eighteen prominent white nationalist accounts examined in the study, including the American Nazi Party, have seen a sharp increase in Twitter followers to a total of more than 25,000, up from about 3,500 in 2012, according to the study by George Washington University’s Program on Extremism that was seen by Reuters.

                            The study’s findings contrast with declining influence on Twitter’s service for Islamic State, also known as ISIS, amid crackdowns that have targeted the militant group, according to earlier research by report author J.M. Berger and the findings of other counter-extremism experts and government officials.

                            “White nationalists and Nazis outperformed ISIS in average friend and follower counts by a substantial margin,” the report said. “Nazis had a median follower count almost eight times greater than ISIS supporters, and a mean count more than 22 times greater.”

                            While Twitter (TWTR 4.52%) has waged an aggressive campaign to suspend Islamic State users — the company said in an August blog post it had shut down 360,000 accounts for threatening or promoting what it defined as terrorist acts since the middle of 2015 — Berger said in his report that “white nationalists and Nazis operate with relative impunity.”

                            A Twitter spokesman declined to comment in advance of the release of the study. Reuters was unable to independently verify its findings.

                            The report comes as Twitter faces scrutiny of its content removal policies. It has long been under pressure to crack down on Islamist fighters and their supporters, and the problem of harassment gained renewed attention in July after actress Leslie Jones briefly quit Twitter in the face of abusive comments.

                            Berger said in an interview that Twitter and other companies such as Facebook (FB 0.22%) faced added difficulties in enforcing standards against white nationalist groups because they are less cohesive than Islamic State networks and present greater free speech complications.

                            The data collected, which included analysis of tweets of selected accounts and their followers, represents a fraction of the white nationalist presence on Twitter and was insufficient to estimate the overall online size of the groups, the report said.

                            Accounts examined in the study possessed a strong affinity for U.S. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, a prolific Twitter user who has been accused of retweeting accounts associated with white nationalism dozens of times.

                            Three of the top 10 hashtags used most frequently by the data set of users studied were related to Trump, according to the report, entitled “Nazis vs. ISIS on Twitter.” Only #whitegenocide was more popular than Trump-related hashtags, the report said.

                            The Trump campaign did not respond to a request for comment.

                              .

                              In my article “The Case for Trump: Communication,” I drew attention to this phenomenon which I have talked about for years offline.

                              For decades now, the Council of Conservative Citizens, VDARE and American Renaissance have published stories about black crime, multiculturalism, political correctness, illegal immigration and their negative impact on White America. There was a time in the recent past when we didn’t have much competition in this market. When I got started in 2001, you could get banned at Free Republic for posting VDARE content.

                              Back then, National Review was purging Pat Buchanan and the paleocons for opposing the Iraq War. Movement Conservatism was its own world in the George W. Bush years. It was something foreign and ridiculous to us. We were outsiders who defined ourselves against it. Movement Conservatism was based on FOX News and talk radio and had its own narrative about freedom, spreading democracy, human rights, American exceptionalism, etc. White Nationalists congregated on Stormfront and other online forums and discussed our own narrative of White racial and cultural decline.

                              From 2006 to 2016, there was a transformation in the nature of the media:

                              1.) First, there was a big migration from online forums to blogs.

                              2.) Second, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube emerged.

                              3.) Third, the smartphone put a supercomputer in everyone’s pocket.

                              4.) Fourth, Gen X’ers and Millennials began relying much more on blogs and social media to keep up with the news, which eliminated the ability of gatekeepers to push and control narratives.

                              5.) Fifth, clickbait websites became a much larger presence in the media landscape.

                              While all this was going on, Movement Conservatism was discredited by the end of the George W. Bush presidency. The neocons wars in Iraq and Afghanistan had devolved into an intractable tar baby. The deregulated economy crashed in the 2008 financial crisis. The Republican leadership alienated the conservative base with its pushes for comprehensive immigration reform. All of that begat Barack Obama and Eric “My People” Holder who stoked and inflamed racial divisions to new heights.

                              Anyway, the growing divide between Movement Conservatism, the Tea Party and the Republican establishment, the racial discord of the Obama presidency, and the changing nature of the media combined to produce something new: elements of Movement Conservatism began to tap into our traditional audience.

                              I’m not sure exactly when or how it started (was it the flash mobs, Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown?), but within the last five years or so, Drudge, Breitbart, Conservative Treehouse, The Daily Caller, WorldNetDaily, UK Daily Mail and all these other tabloid and conservative sites adopted our narrative and began writing stories targeted at our audience. Suddenly, everything we used to write about was … just absorbed.

                              Personally, I think it was a kind of California Gold Rush of clicks that caused it. These conservative websites discovered that we had steadily built up a huge online audience with an insatiable appetite for racial news. They figured out that they could go full tabloid, throw out the red meat, and monetize it. In the end, it was their pursuit of those sweet lucrative clicks which led these conservatives to erode the taboos around “racism.”

                              Imagine for a moment what it looks like from our perspective: you write for a pro-White website like the Council of Conservative Citizens, Amren, or VDARE, you have been labeled and stigmatized as a “extremist,” “notorious racist” and a “member of a hate group,” and when you wake up in the morning and look for the subject to write about, say, a refugee rapist, you realize that it is semi-pointless because UK Daily Mail or WorldNetDaily has already covered it. What is there left to do but link to the Breitbart story?

                              I mean … in a sense, I think it is great. From our perspective, it has been a poison pill for Conservatism, Inc. They’ve been throwing out those hunks of red meat for the base to generate those sweet clicks. They have fed the appetite of the “conservative base” by broadcasting our narrative. It has mutated as a result. It is not as interested in hearing about freedom and tax cuts as it used to be. Just look at the discussions you see on Free Republic these days. What exactly is objectionable about VDARE now?

                              All of this has led to the emergence and popularization of the “Alt-Lite.” It shouldn’t be confused with the Alt-Right because its origins are different. Whereas the Alt-Right evolved out of White Nationalism, the Alt-Lite is the spawn of the conservative clickbait websites like Breitbart and Daily Caller. These sites have been very selective in what they have picked up and placed in their cart at the Alt-Right shopping mall.

                              You will find themes like black crime, multiculturalism, terrorism, refugee resettlement, political correctness, illegal immigration, populism, nationalism, and protectionism. You won’t find explicit Neo-Nazism, Jewish Question awareness, race realism, ethnostates, eugenics, Neoreaction, Identitarianism, and so on.

                              The Alt-Lite, which is the ideology of the typical Trump supporter who talks about cucks and globalists, is the new bridge between the Alt-Right and Movement Conservatism. We’re the father of this newborn baby. Movement Conservatism is its mother. Will the little fella grow up to take after its mother or father? That will be the story of the next few years.

                              Note: See Fash The Nation, Amren, and Radix for more on this.

                              Update: Jews and cucks are talking about “purging” the “core Alt-Right” here, here, and here. It won’t happen for the following reasons:

                              1.) First, the “core Alt-Right” is already outside conservatism, doesn’t identify with conservatism, and is hostile to conservatism. We don’t write for conservative websites. We have our own platforms and social media accounts. We don’t need to write for National Review to get our message out.

                              2.) Second, as I noted above, the changing nature of the media (blogs, podcasts, social media) is what made this possible. It eliminated the gatekeepers. There are no more gatekeepers. No one made Jonah Goldberg the Pope of the Right and the Alt-Right certainly doesn’t recognize him as such.

                              3.) Third, “conservatives” are mostly aging Baby Boomers, and there are fewer of those every year. Their base is shrinking which is driving their loss of influence. Fewer people care about Ronald Reagan in 1981.

                              4.) Fourth, the White middle class and working class continues to decline in large part due to their policies. We’re in a bull market for anger and alienation. That’s not going to change. Especially if Hillary wins in November. In 2020 and 2024, these people will be even angrier and more alienated.

                              5.) Fifth, as I have explained, it was the conservative media that created the Alt-Lite by adopting our narrative. They did it because of those sweet, lucrative clicks which were just a reflection of the fact our message resonates. If Trump loses, it changes nothing and all the usual sites will still be writing the same stories. Trump himself might even create a media network to cater to his audience.

                              6.) Sixth, National Review blew its stupid whistle months ago before the Iowa Caucuses and it changed nothing. They don’t have the authority to purge anyone these days.

                              7.) Seventh, the 2016 cycle has amplified the Alt-Right and swollen its numbers. It has tasted blood. It is louder and more numerous than ever before. It is not going away.

                              8.) Eighth, the shrinking White population and the declining conservative base will only give the Alt-Right more and more leverage in the future. Racially conscious Whites are becoming a more cohesive block and will have more power over the Right in the future.

                              9.) Finally, Hillary Clinton is going to exacerbate racial divisions if she wins, her economic policies are going to hurt White America, and her social policies will thumb White America even harder in the eye. Who are all these aggrieved people going to turn to? George Will? National Review? The Heritage Foundation?

                              I'm now at the top of the racialist intellectual community in the United States.
