Movement Wednesday

Spencer and Trump.

More Alt Right apologia.

There is a lot of amnesia on the alt-right leading to attacks on Richard Spencer. This is probably one of the main ones. 

Or maybe people remember all too well?

Firstly, alright.com got deplatformed. Next, Richard Spencer got personally financially deplatformed and so did his organization, NPI. 

Two points.  First, that had much to do with Unite the Right and other incidents that did not have to happen.  I’m not justifying the deplatforming, but explaining it.  Second, whose fault is it that there is no “movement” infrastructure that is not dependent on the same System it wishes to overthrow?  That’s 50 years of “movement” failure for you.  Of course, Spencer is not personally accountable for the second point, but the disaster of the Alt Right is a recent example, a reflection, of the underlying problems of Der Movement.

His activities in this regard have stalled because these activities cost money, and Richard Spencer cannot raise money. 

Again, why so dependent on the System?  Why no alternatives?  Why no contingencies?

This is the reason why there has been an exodus of employees from NPI - simply because Richard Spencer cannot pay them a living salary. 

Does that include Greg Conte?

These people have families to support so its understandable that they would move on.

Meanwhile, the Happy Penguins of CT keep on raking in the shekels. Well, after all, all you suckers at least get to enjoy pictures of Brimelow and Derbyshire sitting out on the lawn.

Richard Spencer has identified financial deplatforming as the most serious organizational problem facing the movement for this reason. 

With all due respect, he’s hardly an objective disinterested observer whose comments should be uncritically accepted at face value.

Contrary to rumor, Richard Spencer is not a wealthy man. He cannot fund these activities by himself.

He should have gone into electoral politics instead.  What a waste.

The way I see it Richard Spencer is the only famous person on the alt-right that has a sense of introspection. 

Well, anything is better than nothing. Against a baseline of zero, Spencer exhibits a bit of introspection.

He admitted that he was wrong about the homosexuals giving up their crusade after obtaining gay marriage, for example. 

Was that before or after his feud with Greg Johnson started?  Likewise, Greg’s shift from pan-Europeanism to ethnonationalism – before or after the feud with Spencer?

None of the others ever admit that they were wrong about anything.

True enough. Now, if only Spencer would admit being wrong about the entire “Alt Right brand,” then we would be making some real progress.

Further – what’s the use of admitting being wrong is there is no accountability?

Read here.

As the Founding Fathers knew, your rights are only what you can defend. Whatever the First Amendment says, Americans now no longer really possess the right of free speech. Patriots are at risk of physical attack for speaking their mind while Antifa enjoy immunity even under a supposedly conservative administration.

Donald J. Trump: far-left Antifa supporter.  God Emperor?  No, Red Emperor.

And speaking of Trump.

Fraud, fraud, fraud…another dog whistling Republican.  Hey, the vote is over, time to arrest the White militia members at the border (“hate crimes!” “serial rioting!”) and give out dem dere green cards to all the nice migrants; after all, “we need the people.”

Well, we’ll see, won’t we, soon enough.  Maybe Trump will surprise us all and actually do something useful.
