It was racially aware paleocons plus reactionaries plus some other small groups
unless he just stole it and msm says he coined it
Back then, everybody had something new to say and it was actually cool
i'm too normie to know the history of it very well
anyway, back to your question
i think that the alt-right as we know it today is propped up as the face of the "new right" on purpose. it's an easy target to oversimplify, categorize, and hand-wave
The Alt Right pre 2017 wasn't as big and had people like Ann Coulter, Jared Taylor, Millennial Woes, Walt Bismarck and a ton of other people
i don't blame liberals for not knowing who de ~~jouvere~~ jouvenel* is
The whole british alt right seemed to be made up of exclusively reactionaries up until 2017
i remember having an argument with my gf's sister who is a frothing liberal and she was scared that i was in the alt-right
this was 2015 or 16
Huh
https://youtu.be/ExBcjZS_ChI This is the old alt right.
she's a CNN watcher. she was convinced even then that the alt-right was essentially a racist white suprem group
This was aeons ahead of the modern alt right which regressed rather than progress
and i was like nahhhh
never heard that at the time
interesting derekthederek
so yeah my unresearched theory is that spencer just took on the moniker of alt-right (because frankly he still is/was, just with other stuff sprinkled in)
The alt right is retarded
Controlled Opposition
the alt-right is just a prop to attack the right now
The right needs to discard the alt right
The alt right should be left to die
imagine if you heard the words "What is a Neoreactionary?" came through a TV on CNN?
you would shit your pants
it was like the first time you heard the words "Pepe the frog" on tv
I remember when it was small and obscure. It was a gold mine of ideas never talked before at such length. This is the best example of the class, pragmatism yet at the same time idealism that had a singular goal: Destroy the National Review, Conservative Think Tank wing of the Right. Demography is Destiny and we must destroy the GOP and reform it into our party. The Party of our grandfathers. The party of traditionalism, the party of nationalism, the party that the GOP had abandoned and sacrificed on the altar of Fiscal conservatism. The altar that must be smashed into the state where it can never come back.
Just watch this video. This was the alt right two years ago
so then what was the difference then between alt-right an paleocon?
it's paleocon, but cool 😎
and on the internet
Two words , cognitive dissonance, it would challenge their own beliefs.
Another two words, confirmation bias, when the left tells them something about the right, all they have to do is word it to sound true and they will automatically believe it, so the left wont do anything thay violates either of those. Because then they would realize they were wrong.
oh wait nevermind, forget what i said just now
That was merely one wing of it. It was the dominant wing but it wasn't more than maybe 40-50%
Alt right should die
fiscal conservatism is woke though
if you think that the current GOP is fiscally conservatism then you have the 'tism
