The decade-long story of the Alt-Right can be summarised as a a tale of ascent, peak and fall, which has presently come full circle and arrived back at square one. The decentralised structure destroyed by Richard Spencer during 2016-17 has reasserted itself under the name of the Dissident Right, while the rump Alt-Right that still cleaves to Spencer's leadership has merely taken up the role of the sixty-year-old neo-Nazi stuckment. The external fortunes of the Right have improved, in the sense that greater masses of people now accept its ideas, but also worsened, in the sense that the government crackdown on those ideas has intensified. One thing has continued progressing in a more or less linear direction, and that is the destruction of the West.
