Just how "Deplorable" are you?

Everyone tells me the alt-right is antisemitic. And they say that Breitbart is the alt-right news channel. Yet Breitbart is pretty solidly pro-Israel.

???

Some are antisemitic, some aren't.

Hillary Clinton named Alex Jones and quoted Milo Yiannopoulos in her "alt -right" speech. It's just another attempt from the Clinton camp to distract people and divert their attention away from all her crimes and scandals.

This stuff is straight out of Alinsky's Rules For Radicals.

The son of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump used what many people took to be a reference to the Holocaust to complain about the news media’s treatment of his father.

In a radio interview on a morning talk show for Philadelphia’s WPHT, Donald Trump Jr. said the news media had sided with his father’s Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton, overlooking problems with her candidacy.

“The media has been her number-one surrogate in this. Without the media, this wouldn’t even be a contest, but the media has built her up,” he said in an interview with Chris Stigall. “They’ve let her slide on every indiscrepancy, on every lie, on every DNC game trying to get Bernie Sanders out of the thing. If Republicans were doing that, they’d be warming up the gas chamber right now.”

This reminds why I never liked political correctness. It turns everyone into thin skinned special little snowflakes.that think everything is racist, or sexist or insensitive or something else ending in ist or everything is "code" for something else or has a "secret meaning" and the special little snowflakes who don't dare speak for fear or saying the wrong thing can't wait to pounce on someone for voicing an opinion or using the "wrong" word. Oiy!

Wall Street Journal and John Podesta? Keep listening to these yahoos and they'll have you convinced everyone they don't like is Hitler.

And people wonder why Trump speaks to adults like they're 11 year olds. Hint, it's because adults are thinking and acting like 11 year olds now.

It's hard to nail down what constitutes the alt-right, but there are some common characteristics. The alt-right does not care too much about:

1. Pro-life movement
2. Free trade and/or free markets
3. Limited government and/or strict constitutionalism
4. They really hate political correctness

A common trait of the alt-right is anti-semitism, nationalism, and white pride. They call this "race realism".

The flip side of being ambivalent to limited government and strict constitutionalism, they are fans of authoritarian governments, and like Trump, they think Putin is praiseworthy as a strong leader.

The alt-right does not care too much about economic policies or really, any policies. Foreign policy is usually of some value to them as it relates to anti-immigration and how the US should treat various ethnicities.

The reason why the alt-right embraces Trump is primarily because he is politically incorrect. Another factor is his anti-immigration stance. But Trump's stance on issues is largely insignificant to the fact that he offends the establishment GOP, SJWers, the media, and liberals.

Fair enough
The Alt Right is a "race realist" segment of society who think that Whites are superior to Blacks and Hispanics, but that Asians are superior to Whites as shown by their performance in school. They are for total segregation of the races, as they don't want the whites to be any more polluted than they already are. Christians that adopt non-white children are traitors to their race, as is anyone who marries a non-white person. They are Nihilistic in their philosophy. They are authoritarian in their calls for government as the white culture has been diluted and needs a strong hand to bring it back. Birth Control and abortion should only be for the non-whites and lower classes as whites need to repopulate this space. Eugenics done right could make the world a better place. They believe there is a grand conspiracy by the Jews to control the economies of the world. They are for collectivism as the best way to keep white culture going. As with any group you will have varying opinions but the unifying theme is that of whites needing to stick together and take care of their own.
So for the last time would you really consider yourself a "proud member" of the Alt Right?

As far as your definition of "deplorable" goes yeah I would fit that. But here is the thing, I don't care what Clinton or Trump thinks about me since they would both find me deplorable.

Here is the thing though the Alt Right gave itself that name. It's not a label given them by the left. From my readings it sprang up about the same time as the Tea Party, but kept to its small corner of the internet until this election season. No one is claiming it is a new group, just that it is more prominent now with Trump running. And it doesn't help matters when Trump hires Stephen Bannon head of Breitbart news to run his campaign. Stephen Bannon said that Breitbart is the platform for the Alt Right.
Now I've already said I don't think Trump is racist, I think he is an opportunist but that doesn't change the fact that the alt right loves him.

All correct, and there's a big focus on genetics, as can be seen in the first quote in that list.

In other words, while much of conservativism has been employing a tactic called "corlorblindness", meaning their issues with blacks are not skin color, but simply the "culture", which conceivably could change (if the government simply stops "encouraging" it. Which they don't realize is still a premise of a kind of inferiority, with the "exceptional" culture setting the "par" they fall far short of, which is totally unscriptural and based on select skewed criteria).
But the alt-right says no, it's genetic (the original premise, which brings to mind someone here once laying down the choices between "genetic" and "cultural", but leaving the other person to guess, and would never tell us which).

So a big catch phrase they themselves have come up with is "cuckservative"; which is a derisive term for the mainstream "colorblind" conservatives who only "dog whistle" (use code language), but do not openly name "the Negro Problem in America", which they see is the whole issue. "The term will include someone who believes blacks thrived before the Great Society [a common conservative argument against social programs], without admitting it was Jim Crow that kept them in check, and a person who argues abortion is wrong because it harms primarily blacks [an argument Christian conservatives will often use], without seeing how blacks harm civilization" (IIRC, I probably got the quote from the comments of this article, somewhere: http://www.salon.com/2015/08/03/the...war_over_the_disgusting_“cuckservative”_slur/ and its from last year before the term "alt-right" took hold, so it doesn't yet appear in the discussions. The movement was simply called, loosely, "white nationalism").
The analogy is to a "cuckold", which I'm sure everyone has heard of. In other words, conservatives are really allowing basically all of this raping of their culture to occur (as much as they complain about it), when they need to be more proactive in doing something about it.

They have blended right in with much of conservativism, condemning social programs, black crime, BLM and Obama and other leaders (wasn't even aware they were pro-abortion, though), especially in the comments of articles on sites like Breitbart. At one point; I was shocked to see people start openly putting down the Constitution, which is usually the conservative's main object to defend. One called it "just a piece of paper", and then, you even get people calling the nation's founders "morons" for bringing the blacks over in the first place. Here: http://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-main-alt-right-trump-20160825-snap-story.html we see US "values" dismissed: "White nationalism is more important than inalienable rights because 'Even when they violate your principles, white people build good societies. Even when they abide by your principles, non-whites [seen as taking over now] usually don’t.'" also “we’ve recognized the bankruptcy of this ideology, based on ‘free markets,’ ‘values,’ and ‘American exceptionalism.’”

So it was clear that his was a far "authoritarian" (and potentially anti-American) version of the Right wing.

I've also heard claims that a lot of the alt-right is really a form of trolling by youngsters who really do not even really care about the issues, but simply want stir stir everyone up just for the fun of it. That Yannovic [sp?] guy was said to be an example, and a comparison was made to "shock-rock" (death metal, etc.), which kids decades ago, used just to irk their parents.

In any case, people really need to be aware of following just any sentiment that appeals to their frustrations, as there are some people out there who can manipulate this. And that's what I believe about Trump. He himself is probably not an alt-righer. But the stuff he says he knows is what people (including Christians) want to hear (whether true or not). Yet there are others taking advantage of the situation as well. That's why the alt-right has surfaced so visibly now.

Just like Planned Parenthood, yet no one seems to mind they support Hillary. But, then Hillary is a big fan of their founder.

 

[Earth Wind and Fire]

Guess we have something to discuss at the Klan meeting tonight.

 

[poncho]

Yeah, how to lose another election with dignity. We may give the White House away to the democrats again but our principles will still be intact by golly.

 

[poncho]

We're going to have to work really hard to lose the White House to people like the guy in this video.

But I have nothing but confidence in us.

 

[Revmitchell]

No such thing as "code words" it is a mythical fabrication used by the far left extreme to demonize their opponents. It is just another far left extreme word like "micro aggression". They have no basis in reality just a political agenda.
