Spencer is very intelligent. He knows that he is riding a wave. He knows that modern liberal rhetoric is stale.

Of course, there are plenty of people who argue for human equality in a rational way. That's why Spencer and his wave will ultimately lose.

I couldn't watch the video; the wind blowing the woman's hair was too distracting. So I googled him and found this article from last year which may be of interest.

Macleans: The Canadian roots of white supremacist Richard Spencer

Quote:

The man who claims to have coined the term “alt-right” actually lived in Toronto from 2010 to 2011. The website that kick-started his movement was born in a small apartment in the downtown core. “Little-known fun fact: I was operating, not anonymously, but operating, from a home office off Yonge Street. [The website] was based in Toronto at its very origins.”

Spencer claims, while Canadians are, as he puts it, “more reluctant to hold up a glass of whisky and say, ‘Hail Trump,’ ” his movement, without question, exists here. “The alt-right is a movement that is this organic guerrilla warfare. And [in Canada] most of it is anonymous. But I wouldn’t underestimate its power and reach.

Quote:

So what does Richard Spencer’s ideal world look like? “I hope that one day all Europeans can be united. That we could revive something like the Roman Empire. Having a state that is for us, that is always going to be for us. Jews have such a state. It’s called Israel. There are many Muslims who are attempting to build such a state, a caliphate. We really need to think of ourselves as a civilization and a people.”

It's not going to happen. In 200 years everyone will be mocha.

What are your thoughts on Alt Right movement?

It seems like a pseudo-movement designed to freak out liberals.

About a decade ago South Park had an episode called Goobacks, where the future was so terrible they invented a time machine, came back to the present and started taking people's jobs because there were none in the future. All the future people were as you described: mocha, lol.

He's kinda right about Israel.

If we want to fight against racism all around the world, Israel cannot be ignored.

It's like the saying, that you can't hit a person, with glasses.

The alt right hides behind racial, gender, and religious minorities.

These are compromises, so the movement is compromised.

it's designed for obsolescence.

Utopian socialists and Utopian reactionaries have one thing in common: they're both utterly wrong. :wink:

Neither side could be utterly wrong, if you're portraying that you're a centrist.

I'm literal, or make it clear, when I'm being facetious. There is no need for doubt.

The alt right movement is one of the biggest reasons I shifted from the right to the far left.
