The Alt-Right

[Falcon SageParticipant 92]

Sorry if this forum is in the wrong category. I’ve been thinking about the alt-right movement that has been growing very rapidly with Milo Yiannopoulos as, to my knowledge, the unofficial head spokesman/face of the movement. To me, it sounds like women have finally realized they went too far and men are getting tired of their s~~~ and women have to pretend to give a s~~~ about men; that really nothing much will change at all. I know Trump won with white women but I suspect that was because he offered longer maternity leave while Killary C~~~on offered women absolutely nothing new for women.

But I admit I have little experience and little knowledge as well as a tendency to be quite pessimistic so I’d like to hear your thoughts.

"Woman is a misbegotten man and has a faulty and defective nature in comparison to his. Therefore she is unsure in herself. What she cannot get, she seeks to obtain through lying and diabolical deceptions. And so, to put it briefly, one must be on one's guard with every woman, as if she were a poisonous snake and the horned devil. ... Thus in evil and perverse doings woman is cleverer, that is, slyer, than man. Her feelings drive woman toward every evil, just as reason impels man toward all good." –Saint Albertus Magnus, Dominican theologian, 13th century

I’m a big fan of Milo’s, so that must mean I’m alt right too.

For those not clued in, this is he of whom we speak:

I don’t like the term “Alt Right”. Who coinned this term? The media are trying to portray anyone who has conservative logical values as being part of some radical extremist faction. The real radical extremist are the one’s who Milo criticises.

I enjoy Milo’s speeches. He has a sharp mind and is confident to express his views to a hostile brainwashed audience.

The source of his confidence is that he cannot be accused of Homophobia or Racism. It’s a shame a straight white male can’t be free to speak the truth as well. I am not Racist or Homophobic, but I couldn’t prove this to my detractors in an argument so they would shout me down. I have to be silet. Milo can speak for me instead.

I think Milo said in his last university speech during the Q&A that he’s had to abandon association to the Alt-Right due to the White Supremacits.

I’m still not clued up on the facets of the Alt Right. From what i understand, they share similar ideas to other groups but the bad apples have poisoned the well.

Here is how I understand the history of the “alt-right” label:

The term originally came into circulation with the white supremacists. Richard Spencer (a white nationalist) claimed it for his group and even started a white supremacist website called “Alternative Right.”

Later the term widened out, and other non-Establishment groups on the right kind of claimed the label for themselves as well. The folks at 4chan and 8chan adopted it. Some people said that it could include any group on the right that wasn’t part of the Establishment tradcons led by Bush, McCain, and Ryan. In other words, anyone from the Tea Party to the manosphere could be considered part of the alt-right. Milo Yiannopoulos said that he himself was a “nationalist” in the sense of being pro-American, but not a “white nationalist” because his boyfriends are black. But he said that he felt like he was kind of a “fellow traveler” with the alt-right people and said that the alt-right attracted a lot of young people (like the folks at 4chan and 8chan) because of its provocateurial nature.

But during the election campaign, Hillary Clinton and her supporters started hammering at the early association between the alt-right label and white supremacists. And then when Trump named Steve Bannon (from Breitbart News) as his advisor, the issue came up again: People on the left accused Breitbart News of being a “platform for the alt-right,” and accused Bannon of being a white supremacist (which he is not).

So eventually the “alt-right” label became so controversial and tied up with the white supremacists that Milo and Bannon and all the rest had to renounce it. When Trump was asked about Bannon and the alt-right, Trump denounced the alt-right as racists and insisted that Bannon had no connection to them. And Milo has renounced them as well. So basically the alt-right has gone back to being a synonym for “white supremacists.”

Again, that’s just my understanding of what’s happened with the term over the last few years. The main point is that the label has gone through a couple different interpretations or definitions. But currently it’s back to being a synonym for “white supremacists.”
