Reactions To Breitbart’s Alt-Right Essay

Comments:

* John Podhoretz: Of all the things to carry Andrew’s name, a piece respectful of Nazi scum is the worst. SHONDEH, Larry Solov. SHONDEH.

* RosieGray: Breitbart fully embracing the white nationalist alt-right movement.

* If you’re mystified by Trump and the current election, here’s what you need to know.

* The fun part will be watching the hysteria unfold on Cuck Twitter.

* @woodruffbets: Breitbart describes white supremacist sites as “an eclectic mix of renegades”

* Milo is an opportunistic jew trying to cash in on altright while declawing it ( also breitbart is click bait)

* Breitbart’s alt-right story was a groupie blowing a drummer in a dirty bathroom stall: gross, degrading for everyone involved, unsurprising.

* Sad to see Breitbart post an article defending the Alt-Right. You’d be hard pressed to find a single #altright-er who isn’t a huge racist.

* Was the exodus of Jews from #Breitbart a purge or rats leaving a sinking ship they’d chewed holes in?

From the Roosh forum:

* Gays always make everything into them being fabulous, as we see in real-time with Milo

* This is the first article that I’ve ever encountered, in a semi-mainstream publication or better, that attempted to couch the interests of the alt-right in anything but a foundation of economic insecurity.

Which, if one thinks about this framing strategy as well as the overall economic focus of the establishment Republicans, is just a continuation of the economic frame that communists insist upon. Like the communists, the establishment holds that politics is defined and driven by economics. Merely taking the opposite economic position makes them reinforcers of the communist worldview in their acceptance of the overall framework of the culture denying political model and the discussion. I digress.

Anyway, this is the most incisive and honest article that I’ve ever read on the politics of at least 1/3rd of the Western population. I’ll be curious as to whether the establishment media ignores or addresses it, given their primary strategy of ignoring the truths laid forth in the article and disingenuously reframing motivations as a means of platform denial.

Every time I thought that the authors were going to cop out, they reeled it back in. In addition, these two journalists were impressively objective, in spite of personal stakes, in a manner that I have not witnessed perhaps ever in my adult life. It can now be said that at least two journalists understand modern politics and understand what the difference is between propaganda and journalism. They are choosing the West and the prospect of peace over any other agenda to include that of any possible interest in a particular political group that they might identify with. Good for them and for Breitbart.

* Yep, even though he’s gay, I like Milo a lot. He’s doing some great work for the manosphere. But after the Rubin interview I was under the impression he didn’t understand the seriousness of the matter and what Alt-Righters really think. This article however, is a pretty accurate depiction of what the situation looks like. I’d have some things to add about the 1488ers, but it doesn’t matter all that much. I’d guess his co-author contributed some good insight that clarified a few things for Milo. One thing they still get wrong though… their denial of a certain historic event isn’t just memes to rustle some jimmies.

From Breitbart:

A specter is haunting the dinner parties, fundraisers and think-tanks of the Establishment: the specter of the “alternative right.” Young, creative and eager to commit secular heresies, they have become public enemy number one to beltway conservatives — more hated, even, than Democrats or loopy progressives.

The alternative right, more commonly known as the alt-right, is an amorphous movement. Some — mostly Establishment types — insist it’s little more than a vehicle for the worst dregs of human society: anti-Semites, white supremacists, and other members of the Stormfront set. They’re wrong.

Previously an obscure subculture, the alt-right burst onto the national political scene in 2015. Although initially small in number, the alt-right has a youthful energy and jarring, taboo-defying rhetoric that have boosted its membership and made it impossible to ignore.

It has already triggered a string of fearful op-eds and hit pieces from both Left and Right: Lefties dismiss it as racist, while the conservative press, always desperate to avoid charges of bigotry from the Left, has thrown these young readers and voters to the wolves as well.

National Review attacked them as bitter members of the white working-class who worship “father-Führer” Donald Trump. Betsy Woodruff of The Daily Beast attacked Rush Limbaugh for sympathising with the “white supremacist alt-right.” BuzzFeed begrudgingly acknowledged that the movement has a “great feel for how the internet works,” while simultaneously accusing them of targeting “blacks, Jews, women, Latinos and Muslims.”

The amount of column inches generated by the alt-right is a testament to their cultural punch. But so far, no one has really been able to explain the movement’s appeal and reach without desperate caveats and virtue-signalling to readers.
