A Normie's Guide To the Alt Right - 11/29/2016 5:56:00 AM

http://www.dailystormer.com/a-normies-guide-to-the-alt-right/

I figured that the best way to understand who Trump's most ardent young supporters are is to hear them describe it. They call it a 'counter-culture' movement that of course aims to become the mainstream.

It is described as being heavily dependent on the Internet, and encompasses:

-Troll Culture (fucking up the system, bullying, being a jerk for kicks)
-Conspiracy Theorism (Alex Jones, anti-government theories, etc.)
-Libertarianism/Paleoconservatism (Ron Paul)
-The 'Manosphere' (Pick up artists, anti-gays, anti-feminists and Men's Rights movements)
-'Gamergate' (something about video games and women)
-The Old White Nationalist Movement (Nazis, self-explanatory)
-Identitarianism (American Nationalism similar to European Nationalism)

So it seems like the alt-right aims to be a youth movement that is pretty much the total opposite of the hippie movement, and they want to make the 10s like the anti-60s. It sort of makes sense, really... kids are always looking for new ways to rebel. I just hope that it never really catches on...

[God CChat is running so slowly for me now it's barely usable.]

I won't read shit from a site like that, and I just want to point out, that the Founding Fathers would most likely self-identify as today's Libertarians. It's not an "alt-right" thing, and it includes fiscal conservatism with government leaving citizens alone, for the most part.

Oh, and, identitarianism is not just an alt-right thing. The Democrats heavily rely on it, too.

I didn't say they were libertarians, but the movement is informed by Libertarianism. You don't have to define it for me, I know it well. The government 'leaving citizens alone' is sort of a weighted term in that it implies that government is always unwanted when it isn't. I think a better way to describe it would be to say 'citizens must fend for themselves', which is exactly what the alt-right wants... mostly because right-wingers tend to see themselves as strong and their enemies as weak.

I don't think it's really so helpful to speculate on what the founding fathers would have been... firstly because it's not much more than a meaningless appeal to American iconography, and secondly because they couldn't possibly have foreseen the type of of society that would develop over 200 years later.

And since identitarianism is exclusively a right wing movement, I really don't think the Democrats have anything to do with it... maybe you're confusing it with something else:
