I like his conclusions. I had a conversation with a good friend locally a few days ago about this very topic. We were discussing my article on the rise of far-right groups in Canada and he asked me if I was sympathetic. I said to a degree of course. I am a white, middle-aged male and I and my peers are under constant attack from the far left for simply being what we were born. That being said, if the marxist left would shut its trap, dry up and blow away so would the far right. The ‘alt’ right exists or has come into existence as a counter balance to the extreme left and would not exist if the rhetoric and vitriol on the left vanished. People’s desire to form these tribal affiliations is a defense mechanism. Remove the threat and the desire to form these groups is diminished more or less entirely.

Yeah there has been much ado about the rise alt-right. Even Sargon has been labelled by many as some sort of shitlord of the alt-right. Laughable as any further investigation would reveal that he is actually a classical liberal.
My Brother is a New Democrat. Even ran some years ago for NDP. I also work for a boss who is a hopeless socialist. Both him and my Brother have labelled me alt-right. What they don’t understand is I feel I have no choice. I am not going to make common cause with folks who first demand I “check my privilege” before I can get on the bus. If I did I’d just be the dog that gets kicked when day is done. Suppose one tucks in their balls and makes it past pre-screening, was allowed on. The minute I pulled a Rosa Parks I’d be dog piled anyways.
Fuck that!
There is no place left for Liberals. Marxists have co-opted all that ground on the political spectrum. Infecting that space with collective identities and the progressive stack. When value is based on class Integrity and Character end up getting pushed to back of room. Those things should be the most important. Collectivists accuse the alt-right of being racists yet to the marxist all that matters is appearance.

I do not feel I have any alternative so therefore I am alt-right.
This 4th turning is sizing up to be a bitch. Sargon laid out some reasons why. Sad to say but this void in the center of political spectrum will resolve itself as it did before in violent and tragically predictable ways.
“Even Sargon has been labeled by many as some sort of shitlord of the alt-right. Laughable as any further investigation would reveal that he is actually a classical liberal.”
Yep.
Up until recently, I considered myself the same. I don’t remember the ‘red pill’ moment exactly, maybe it was gradual, but certainly, the last election in the US caused me to realize that as a libertarian the left had already classified me as “far right” whether I liked it or not.
I still hold those ideals and believe in them but now realize the fact that the other side sees them as entirely different, that they view them in terms of their opposites (freedom is now slavery and vice versa), that I may as well simply embrace the reality.
The world is understood by the alt-right for what it really is and some people like Sargon and myself, from the classic liberal camp, can see it and acknowledge it too. The idea of the way the world ought to be is still where many libertarians that I know and read periodically get lost in. That’s a shame when you consider the rest of the planet, especially the marxists, are not only not interested in our principles but are doing their damnedest to undermine them. Additionally, they appear to be dedicated to destroying the culture from where they came. In the end, these monsters are only interested in nothingness and destruction.
Yep – I now see I’ve been forced into a particular camp whether I want to be there or not. So fuck em. At least from this piece of ground, it is easier to see who my enemies are.

This is going to end well in France.
LePen on right. This guy on the left. Nothing in between.
At least they have a clear cut choice, and will get clear cut benefits or punishments for their choice no matter which one they make.
If I were French, I think I’d be on LePens’ side, but I’m not French and it’s their country and their choice.

For nation (ethnos-ethnic group) shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows. Mark13:8
More evidence of the truthfulness of the Bible and It’s author, Jesus of Nazareth.
Blessings:-}
And more evidence that it is only the beginning, wait till things really get underway.
Coming times will be interesting, they will be exciting, they will be fast and furious, but they won’t be pleasant again till it’s all over.
And then they will be better than since before the Fall, so keep faith and do whatever you can to aid others in doing the same.

These are interesting times we live in. Like FM I have taken the Red Pill and glad I have. Better it seems to be disparaged as part of right wing than subsumed by the identity politics of left where everything is a social construct and the only competition is who gets to be the most oppressed. The modern left’s dogma to me is awash in contradictions and devoid of logic.
Just last week while driving to town and listening to CBC Radio I learned from none other than Rachel Dolezal that not only gender but now even race is a social construct. The mental gymnastics required to make all this seem correct is amazing. The interviewer for the CBC being firmly entrenched in left wing ideals didn’t even attempt to point out how ridiculous that woman was in her ideas.
This says alot about the rot in dogma of the left. The hoops and flaws in the mental gymnastics of that woman’s logic bends the mind and hurts the brain. It doesn’t inspire thoughtful debate. It shuts it down and why I am alt-right.

The Tea Party is a pussy garden party; the Trump train derailed; I’m ready to join whatever is considered right of the Alt-Right; the Communist need to be eradicated yesterday like a very contagious fatal disease (worse than Ebola) and nobody is doing it. I was glad when they said let us go to Berkley and stomp some commie asses.
