"Alt Right" by Tyler

Hillary Clinton gave a speech today attacking the “Alt Right” in between simultaneously claiming Trump was a Putin puppet and that Trump was going to start WW3 with nukes by attacking Putin.  There was an ad that featured “scary” KKK types, but this is standard fare for the modern Democratic party.  The fact of the matter is that the Clintons, the Democratic Party, and the MSM are all pretty confused about what the hell the Alt Right is.

The standard playbook move by the Progressive/Marxist Left has been to shout down any resistance as Nazi Bigots Who Want to Holocaust Six Million Jewish Black Baby Illegal Alien Bodies the minute they come into power.  Until recently, it was a rather effective tactic, as the target stopped talking about the (usually true) fact that they had hit upon and instead began sputtering about how they weren’t really a racist and they were the most unracist racist to ever not be a racist.  In other words, the lady doth protest too much.  The ever compliant media would then turn the conversation into how racist the person in question was.  Part of the reason that Trump is so effective is that he does not get off message by these accusations.

With the Alt Right, the response is to double down on the racism and refer to themselves as gay Nazi bodybuilders in addition to telling crude jokes about how many Jews one can fit into an ashtray.  This is maddening, because the one thing the Devil cannot tolerate is to be mocked.  The fact that the usual tactics are not working can help explain these conniptions by the Borg.

Further complicating matters is there is no standard for “is” the Alt Right.  I will give you my interpretation, which I believe is a good general primer to the readers of this refined site.   First, it is not “conservatism” in a traditional sense.  Conservatism was always defined by its opposition to progressivism, and therefore had very few hard principles.  Now, conservatism is more about conserving the paychecks and sinecures of National Review writers to keep on getting invited on talk shows.

The Alt Right believes that the Traditional Western State is worth preserving, the best thing, and that they do not cede moral authority to the Left.  That modernism and progress is a lie, simply a way for the usual Borgists throughout history to leverage power to benefit them.  Of course, there are arguments to how best accomplish this.  Some believe that returning to a Founder’s Republic style is better, while others believe that the setting for the republic has passed, and that aristocracy is man’s natural state. 

Obviously, there is a broad range of opinions here, but as I said before it’s that Traditional Western Civilization (mostly embodied in this modern era by Russia and Eastern Europe) is the best way for humanity to progress.  Specifically, that the pillars of Western Civ (the family, military, church, academia, and culture) are worth defending in the face of “progress”, which is secular hedonism dressed up as a way forward.

Some of you reading this are pointing and sputtering right now.  “What about the damn Hitlerfrog!” you are shouting at the monitor. Yes, yes.  There’s no greater way to spin the Left up than to attack their sacred cows, especially when the Left has made the last forty years a free for all for mockery.  Now that they’re in the crosshairs of psychofash teenagers with nothing to do but create offensive memes, they want to bring back speech codes and censorship.

Annoyed by the hypocrisy of wealthy white liberals living in gated communities telling Rust Belt Americans that illegal immigrants have as much right to America as they do, the Alt Right has a grand time pointing out that the people who hate walls live behind walls, usually in the most offensive fashion.  It is an effective blend of the dialectic and the rhetorical, made more effective by the fact that the Alt Right has the truth on its side.

Trump’s rise has let the genie out of the bottle. The modern Republican Party has two options: either it can go the way of the Whigs, consisting of old men upset over frog memes while transparently making sure of their own nest egg, or it will be subsumed by the Young Turks of the Alt Right, who are currently in the process of naming the enemy for what it is.  Time will tell where the dice fly.

My mistake that was not the correct link. RIP Gene Wilder while we're there.

Let me try it again.

Sorry that nuance bothers you. In fact, anything other than total agreement with your pov seems to bother you.

"Pre-Civil-War slaves weren't free, so the statistic is basically meaningless." There were many free blacks in the South ante bellum, perhaps some of them were lynched. Some of them owned slaves. You obviously have an axe to grind about this. I will be glad to "dance" with you over your assertion that the south was basically a concentration camp for slaves. if what you say about the supposedly unlimited misery of their lives is so why did the Black population of the US keep increasing strongly after the end of importation in 1806? Illegal importation? I would like to see you document that if you make that claim. pl

I am warning you for the first and only time that for me to allow you to comment here will require civility, reasoned discourse and respect for the views of others from you. Otherwise I will ban you from the site. I do not claim to apply these rules with perfect neutrality, but the site belongs to me. pl

"any sane person's" This ad hominem precedes my caution to you so I will let it go. pl

Stepahnie,

Yes, rent for campaign offices and overcharging on swag. So much like the millions from foreign governments to CGI so as to gain access to the US Secretary of State and high paying jobs for family members and assorted cronies.

I think in Canada you are talking of at least 5 nations: the Catholic English, the Protestant English, the French, the Natives, and the Immigrants.

In Mexico, you are likely discussing the Spaniards, the Mestizos, and the descendants of the various tribes before the Conquest - say at least 10 of them are still important in the politics of Mexico.

So, Mexico will have 12 nations, Canada 5, and US likely 18.

You would need a new structure to handle all this diversity.

Forgot to add:

There is not going to be any rise in sea levels. That point was established in the Nature article that I supplied the URL to on the Global Warming place holder thread. The Antarctic ice is not going to melt.

Pacifica,

If 11 million illegal immigrants can figure out how to leave their nations of origin and come to the US to work and create a better life for themselves then I suggest the particular members of the black community you are concerned about do the same by throwing off the shackles of intellectual oppression leftists like yourself have enslaved them with and that they leave the communities of chronic unemployment that are run by democratic party machines – such as Baltimore, Detroit, Chicago and move to where the jobs are.

"These are not negligible elements."
Sounds like a threat. It might be more effective for you to register to vote and then vote for someone other than the people who keep oppressing you in the city you can't figure out how to leave.

Tyler,
Perhaps I have not been clear enough. Identity politics which predates the existence of the Alt Right by several decades is largely anti White male in orientation. I oppose all of it as it diverts our attention while the banksters fleece us and the Borg sets up a police state and pursues an insane foreign policy.

[Tyler]

1) You're gonna need harder facts here than your social science voodoo that has to invent elaborate terms to explain why blacks can't maintain a first world civ. Try again. You're projecting here, but this is the modus operandi of the Left.

2) You clearly don't have a clue about what happens outside of your gated community. Look at the statistics and get back to me.

But hey, we both know you won't. Plz go walk through downtown Detroit at night. If you survive, let me know how it goes.

[Tyler]

PA,

"Let me tell you how I KNOW what happened, not all this actual history you're showing me, you racist."

I know all about slavery's oppression. The reason I pointed out the fact that more Whites were lynched pre-CW was to show that lynching had been a popular form of entertainment in America long before it was used to terrorize Blacks. Slaves and peasants have always been cruelly treated in every country. Many of the American Indians found it entertaining to torture their enemies, and the list goes on. The US is unique in that we have surviving slave narratives transcribed by abolitionists describing the worst atrocities of slave owners. If you read the WPA histories told by ex-slaves you understand many slave owners were not cruel and considered their slaves as extensions of their families. If there are slave narratives from Arabia and South America and China and Africa, they are few and I'm not familiar with them. Human nature can be cruel. I just think it's bull to think Whites are the cruelest of the species. Though that is the gist of current popular propaganda, though Europeans were the first to abolish slavery, with the US coming in second.

Col,

Yes, but only the one in a movie and in passing. I assumed Tyler had seen "Braveheart" and borrowed a bit of dialog from it.

[Croesus]

"the largest mass lynching in U.S. history took place in New Orleans in 1891 — and it wasn't African-Americans who were lynched, as many of us might assume. It was Italian-Americans.
After nine Italians were tried and found not guilty of murdering New Orleans Police Chief David Hennessy, a mob dragged them from the jail, along with two other Italians being held on unrelated charges, and lynched them all. The lynchings were followed by mass arrests of Italian immigrants throughout New Orleans, and waves of attacks against Italians nationwide."

http://www.cnn.com/2012/07/10/opinion/falco-italian-immigrants/

"the mob that killed the Italians was never charged (the New York Times had an editorial supporting the lynching as a warning to other Italian “criminals”), the U.S. government sent $25,000 to Italy as restitution, an indemnity paid after almost every other lynching of an Italian in this period. Anti-Italian immigrant sentiment grew after the lynching, with increasingly negative depictions of Italians in the press, including the common association of Italians, particularly Sicilians, with the mafia. "

http://www.uwosh.edu/filmandhistory/documentary/americanhistory1/linciati.php

My own Italian-born family is light-skinned; I have green eyes, like my mother, from North Central Italy. I am of peasant stock: many of my ancestors suffered from poor nutrition in Italy; that's why they came to USA. I and others in my family carry some of the traits associated with nutritional deprivation.

Italians today have the lowest level of academic achievement of any European group in USA. A media that demonizes Italians, that makes "mafia" synonymous with "Italian," does not do a lot to inspire confidence in the young people in the Italian community.

My grandfathers dug ditches; they had difficult and lonely lives, but we Italians were not enslaved and bought and sold and brutalized. We are short of stature and have failed to thrive intellectually -- as the proud history of the Italian Renaissance would seem to predict we should -- but we were never enslaved; we did not come to the USA in actual, physical chains. If the relatively mild deprivation and discrimination that Italians endured left its mark in our group's inability to achieve, how much more devastating must be the legacy of slavery?

The people who exploit Black people for political aggrandizement and their own virtue signaling -- or distraction from their own crimes -- are the folks who earn my disgust.

No, unite Americans against the offshoring of jobs. I have been talking about the politics of racial and ethnic division and we seem to have been talking past each other. I'l switch to immigration.

We aren't far apart on that except, perhaps, in methods. Illegal immigration can be fixed simply by enforcing E-verify and throwing the book at anyone who hires a non-US citizen. Kill the right person and make me king and it will happen too. However the US Chamber of Commerce stands and has always stood in the way, and by extension, Congress. The result has been we are a bit like a whore house that stations a couple of ruffians by the door to whack some every now and again to maintain appearances.

[Tyler]

optimax,

The question we must ask ourselves is this:

What did Gene Wilder know about Hillary?

[Tyler]

Peter,

You can't put the genie back in the bottle.

In this case, if the Left is serious about rolling back the ethnic tribalism, its going to have to disarm first. Otherwise, its just just going to be rightfully viewed as dissembling.

[optimax]

Tyler

Gene Wilder saw Hillary throw a tennis ball into the street knowing Buddy would chase it and perfectly timing it for the poor labs head to meet the bumper of a speeding Freight Liner. Hillary killed Bill's chocolate lab because she's a crazy Cat Lady. Gene was going to the press but like all of Hills confidants never made it.

[Tyler]

Mark Logan,

Because the illegal alien wants to bring more of his ilk over here. You cannot separate the two.

[Tyler]

Donald,

Quite a large line between nuance and sophistry.

I can deal with disagreement with some sort of basis beyond hypocrisy and virtue signaling. But I'll hold your purse for you while you find somewhere to fix your tampon if it bothers you so much.

[Tyler]

Optimax,

I heard Hillary had enough of seeing herself called out in Willy Wonka memes and decided to do something about it.
