Last week, The Anti-Defamation League put out a proscription list of hate thinkers they have deemed to be a danger to the republic. In years past, they would roll out lists of old geezers from the 1960’s, but now they are going after the alt-right. They describe Richard Spencer’s thing as “the most visible extremist movement” in the country. They also listed the alt-lite as fellow travelers. The point of the list is to intimidate people into disassociating from the people on the list. The ADL is trying isolate and ostracize these people.

Ironically, it is not a lot different from what the Klan used to do in a bygone era. As is true with most things in the current crisis, the history of the Ku Klux Klan has been retconned to fit the current narrative. According the prevailing mythologies, the Klan was just like the 19th century Cossacks. Instead of riding through Jewish villages on horseback, the Klan drove through black neighborhoods in pickup trucks.They are portrayed as sort of an off-the-books secret police, run by southern political leaders.

The truth is something different. The primary role of the Klan was to keep whites in line, not blacks. Sure, the Klan would terrorize blacks on occasion, but they were mostly interested in keeping the white majority in line. A white business that did not strictly adhere to the color line, for example, could find itself in trouble with the local Klan. They did not have to resort to physical violence in most cases. The most effective weapon of the 20th century Klan was social pressure to force whites to toe the racial line.

The other important bit about the Klan that has been thrown down the memory hole is that they lost. The reason is that after a while, their moral authority eroded and therefore their ability to apply pressure on whites decreased. Think about it. The Klan has no credibility today so they have no power. That means they had real power only when the white majority took them seriously. A look at history shows that the Klan was most active when their influence was on the wane. In that regard, it was always a rearguard action.

The same logic applies to the ADL and SPLC. Within recent memory, being called out by either group would ruin a media career and certainly destroy a political career. People in outsider politics could guarantee they would remain in outsider politics if they found themselves on the ADL’s list of bad thinkers. While you could survive having private doubts about the prevailing orthodoxy on race, you could not survive even the hint of antisemitism. That’s what made the ADL and SPLC so powerful.

This list and the SPLC’s recent missteps suggest that like the Klan in the 50’s and 60’s, these groups are now waning in authority. Including guys like Gavin McInness on their list of crime thinkers is so ridiculous, the only proper response is to laugh. The Proud Boys are about as edgy and subversive as bingo night at The Villages. The only reason anyone cares about them is that McInness is a media gadfly. His “group” is really just a fan club he maintains to promote his media appearances and internet show.

Another indication that these groups and their moral authority are on the wane is the fact that the response has ranged from indifference to mockery. McInness had a meltdown on twitter, but he was the exception. Most of the alt-lite people simply ignored it, as there was very little media coverage. The alt-right people were howling with laughter, congratulating one another over having made the list. The whole point of the name and shame campaign is to actually shame people. If they are laughing, they are not feeling much shame.

There’s another connection to the Klan. These groups, especially their leaders, have gotten very rich in the skins game. Morris Dees has become super-rich peddling himself as the Hebrew Avenger. When you need to hide your money in the Cayman Islands, you have a lot of money. The skins game has been very good to groups like the ADL, just as segregation was a profitable venture for members of the Klan. The ADL is mostly playing defense now, hoping for one last payday in the skins game.

Of course, that’s where the analogy breaks down. The Klan was never able to turn their thing into a profitable enterprise. That’s mostly because they lost, but there’s not much evidence to suggest they tried to monetize their movement. The ADL and SPLC have always been money making schemes from the start. Despite the greed though, they were highly effective at changing public attitudes. At the very top of the modern hierarchy of sin is the sin of antisemitism. It’s the one unforgivable transgression.

Still, the thumbless way that groups like the ADL are responding to the Dissident Right suggests they have not just lost their way, but lost their relevance. When Progressive propaganda outlets are running features like this one about the SPLC, the writing is on the wall. The people in charge no longer respect the moral authority of these groups and their intended victims no longer fear them. Like the Klan, the ADL and SPLC can only exist as long as they are feared or respected. Neither is true now.

In the run up to the Civil Rights Era the KKK was a marginal force not a whole lot different than the Black Panther Party. Photogenic to the Media when they staged cross burnings but outside the attack on Schermer, Cheney and Goodman where a local sheriff was involved they had no ‘power’.

Real opposition was mounted by the White Citizen Councils in the South. These were people with influence as they held real positions in the community not yahoos in hoods they were respectable citizens in the courts, school boards and local government.

Quite right unit. And in the interest of historical accuracy I’d point out that I’m old enough to remember the chain gangs in Virginia in the late ’50s and early ’60s replete with boss hogg on horseback holding a shotgun. These gangs were mostly white men with very few negroes. The “we was always slaves meme” is bullshit.

This is historical revisionism, how will they retcon Birth of A Nation? The KKK was formed to prevent blacks from demanding the right to marry white women.

Thus we have the echo of the past in the famous 14 words: “That the vajajay of white women shall never be sullied by black dick.” (It’s not a literal quote, but close enough.)

This is why I should never let EC wander into a comment thread unwatched. He lets his inner nature guide his commentary and, like the fox riding the back of the crocodile, he ends up revealing he is both prey and predator as fox OR crocodile.

Coyote,

There is some error in your understanding of history.

Oh and the KKK was completely democratic. But who’s counting.

Actually, the real Klan ended when Reconstruction ended and the black militias ended. The governments took over the Klan afterwards.

I know the governor of Georgia recreated the Klan when he was trying to control things after he lost his black militia.

The southern state government politicians fought between themselves using black militias. Not only did black militias try to terrorize whites but the governors used them to terrorize their political opponents. They actually had mini wars. President Grant had to intervene in one of them and pick the winner of the race because it got so bad. Congressional records following the Civil War is full of these types of squabbles. And the Congressional records also identify a “Ku Klux” as someone that intimidates while “hiding their face.”

In the ’50s, ’60s and until basically it’s end, the Klan was an FBI operation. They tried to bait people into doing stupid things while trying to make “racist” whites look bad.

I have no sense of history regarding the South,
but I can comment on the ADL and SPLC.

The effort to keep “antisemitism” as the ultimate sin,
front of mind, these groups tie themselves to other
groups. This way they dilute their intent of keeping
Jews in victim status.

“In just one year, the alt right has gone from relative obscurity to being one of the United States’ most visible extremist movements. This stratospheric rise is due in large part to the rhetoric employed during the 2016 presidential campaign, which granted implicit approval to the once-taboo hallmarks of the far right – overt racism, anti-Semitism, xenophobia, misogyny, and anti-Muslim bigotry.”

“You can’t discuss the alt right without mentioning the “alt lite,” a loosely connected movement of right-wing activists who reject the overtly white supremacist ideology of the alt right, but whose hateful impact is more significant than their “lite” name suggests. The alt lite embraces misogyny and xenophobia, and abhors “political correctness” and the left.”

So does the charismatic and swashbuckling Morris Dees really
have offshore Cayman Island accounts?

I realize it’s just MO but the irony of the jews wanting to exterminate the caucasian race while chastising them for daring to speak of it is extraordinary. I’d also point out that for my entire life until a year ago I was staunchly pro jew, pro israel. Were it not for the internet and access to information, I would have remained so. Thank you Al Gore for inventing it. Further, I’m not a white supremacist. I only ask that my posterity be allowed to live and thrive. If that makes me a “hater”, so be it.

Speaking of the Israel lobby, how in the hell is this legislative effort even remotely constitutional? https://theintercept.com/2017/07/19/u-s-lawmakers-seek-to-criminally-outlaw-support-for-boycott-campaign-against-israel/
20 years in prison for advocating a boycott? What the actual fuck?

The JDL, ADL, SPLC and ACLU are more powerful and more evil than the KKK ever was. The KKK never had a Goy Genocide Plan or influence with the evil Oligarchs, WDC Politicians, the NYC MSM, Activist Courts, national police organizations and Leftist DoD Officers. It is insane but ZOG is importing Muhamadans like Antibellum negros to destroy U.S. We must Exorcise Zionist-Communist and Islamic Demons from America (it would be better if we could do it before ZOG collapses the Economy) or one day God Himself will Exorcise a Reset (ref the Destructions of Israel by Babylon and Rome; and The Revelation of John).

“Every time we do something you tell me America will do this and will do that… I want to tell you something..: Don’t worry about America… We, the Jewish people, control America, and the Americans know it… Israel may have the right to put others on trial, but certainly no one has the right to put the Jewish people and the State of Israel on trial.”
