Request: The Truth about the Alt-Right Movement

[Mike Larson]

Just curious about Stef's thoughts on the Alt-Right?

[Pelafina]

My best guess is that Stef views Alt-Right as the best choice that a libertarian has given the current situation of government coercion.  

[Will Torbald]

He's also been flirting with Mike Cernovich on videos and twitter. "An honest conversation" series would be better for it with him or someone in that range. Though honestly Stef is pretty much a Alt Right in his sentiments. He just doesn't agree politically with those who want a monarchy reinstated, or a christian theocracy, or a pure ethnostate. Other than that, well, it's very similar.

a lot of the alt-Right in my observation tend to wrongly associate things like psychotherapy and peaceful parenting with Leftism, and "pussification" of Western Culture.  That and Anarchism distinguishes Stef from them.

[rosencrantz]

It's hard not to see psychotherapy as something dubious when the stated goal of Freud was the 'pussification of the West'. 

[Brainwright]

I tend to see the Alt-Right as more of a reactionary movement to modern (racist/eugenicist/just plain stupid) academics than a really coherent ideology that works in the real world. These racial divisions are a function of government policy, a comparatively small mob created to scare everyone else into submission.

 

I don't think there is a, "white race," to be united, especially not in the United States. Even just talking about his experience in Minnesota, Vox displays that the nationalism he supports just isn't really there. Too many old, ingrained cultures.

 

Given the way Stefan has been rather kind to Christianity this past week, I'm inclined to chalk this one up to Stefan's skeptical bent and his general good nature. I, for one, was certainly completely turned off to Vox Day's intentionally corrosive ideology by just hearing him explain it clearly.
