In Italy, the mafia used to, and probably to an extent still does, make the government so inept and corrupt that they're incapable to provide the basic needs for the citizens, so the mafia steps in as "the good guy" and makes good things possible

That is generally why crime organisations are still very popular. Like Pablo Escobar in Equador

Which would be well and good if the alt-right wasn't comprised of autistic teenagers, bourgeois preppies, and high-school dropouts who still live in their parents' guest room.

Oh yes this ideology is flawed because some teens have adopted it

It doesn’t matter about the substance of the ideology

The substance is mediocre at best.

The 'Alt-Right' as defined in a related book, *Zero Tolerance (for the Alt-Right)* is the "new wave" or "2.0" of nationalism. It's simply defined as: gatekeepers (Jordan Peterson, Gavin McInnes, Ben Shapiro, Milo the Fag), "movementarian groups" (i.e, associations who wish to "appeal to higher ideals" as in the graphic whilst not engaging in drop-out or attack; people who believe they can win by "waking up the masses" and through electoral politics, i.e National Socialist Movement, Identity Evropa, "Overton window"ists) and finally, people who compromise the worldview for the sake of watering down the rhetoric to make it more "appealing" but nebulous (Richard Spencer, Jared Taylor)

I would prefer to "wake up the people" as it were, rather than infiltrate the state and make them slaves to "us", as opposed to the current "them", as that comic suggests we should.

@GodFearingEnglishman it particularly insults the Alt-Right because it pokes a million holes in the methodology of the whole 'big tent' ideal. "You're a retard if you believe you're going to win by shouting and doing nothing to secure your people"

I have more faith in people than I imagine most of this server does. That is not me trying to appear self-righteous, I may very well be wrong to have such faith. But, that does not retract from the matter. I believe everybody is capable of becoming an intellectual, becoming inspired, and striving to seek a higher purpose.

That's your opinion and it's not one shared by many people here who recognise the value of hierarchy

Drones are peasants exactly because they're not capable of being intellectual particularly. That's ok, so long as their work fulfills them

Being inspired and seeking a higher purpose is a different matter. Remember the hierarchy of needs first, though. People will first turn to the group that can provide them earthly comforts, rather than the one who cannot

Yes, that is true. But I do not believe we should treat them like cattle. Each human is deserving of respect, and making them one's useful idiot, like our own government has, ought not suffice.

the lemmings thing seems to grossly misportray some characteristics of the common man in order to make aut right intellectuals feel superior

which is fairly problematic when the x hour comea and they dont act like the lemmings you expect them to

id estimate their make up of the general population to be much smaller than 90%.
its the (shrinking) middle class

and only then its a specific portion of the middle class

if you work around average blue collar worker joe, you'll quickly notice that most of them have zero problem mouthing off at and biting the hand that feeds them so to speak

but if we look at the middle class we begin to observe the phenomenom of the champagne socialist - large groups of people, who according to the lemming theory should be completely pacified by the system doling out security and prosperity, yet here are, out protesting, bad mouthing the system and working to undermine it

Acceptable rebellion

consider how close the us 2016 election was to trump v bernie

two candidates heavily.signaling how anti establishment they were

the moment they made it in, they were the favourites with the voters

I think the reason that infographic says "For alt-right idiots" is because it's a play on the books like "Fishing for Dummies"

It uses the same design as their front covers
