What differentiates the Affirmative Right from the Alternative Right is that the Affirmative Right is a Big Picture movement, whereas the Alt-Right was a petty, chronocentric movement, centred on a limited class of people for a temporary time period and for an extremely banal political purpose—namely the election of a boomer “Israel Firster,” as part of America’s frankly retarded political culture.
Now it is focused on an equally banal political purpose, namely opposing the election of a boomer “Israel Firster,” as part of America’s frankly retarded political culture.
Yes, you couldn’t make this up. If you don’t have a healthy contempt for such arrant crap, then you have my pity as you are clearly part of the crap. Personally, I find it pretty hilarious, although I am not unaware of the tragic dimension.
Of course, the Alt-Right didn’t start out like this. In the beginning (2010-2015) it had a lot of Big Picture individuals—I would even count my old associate Richard Spencer as one of these at that time (even if he was mainly in it for the Bond villains).
However, due to the unfortunately high percentage of “burger Americans” with limited intelligence and poor social skills that clogged the movement, it soon de-evolved into a movement focused on the tedious day-to-day of US politics and petty sniping at people on Twitter. In other words, it became totally, totally small-brained and tedious. Quite frankly, a waste of your time even if the only other thing on your agenda was watching daytime television.

This too is glaring proof of the Alt-Right’s extreme chronocentrism, as the kind of Jews it is most scared of—high IQ, high-functioning, super rich Ashkenazim who present as “Goy”—are a transient phenomenon on the face of the Earth, and are clearly in the process of dissolving into the general population or else being shoahed through the processes of modernity.
The high-breeding religious Jews are an entirely separate category and seem to have already met their match in the wild, ebony warriors of Brooklyn.
The real reasons Alt-Righters are obsessed by their Holy Panotheory is simple. It is because (a) either they are such Jews themselves (Weev, Enoch, Anglin (?), etc.), (b) they got outwitted and mocked by such Jews at high school and college (Spencer, Johnson, RamZPaul, etc.), or else they aspired to be “more WASP” than those Jews (Striker, Anglin, Alex McNabb, Jesse Dunstan, etc.) and used their hatred of them as a marker of their own Whiteness or "Anglo-ness."
I won’t even go into how the gay/“sub-masculine” thing (Spencer, Johnson, Nick Fuentes, Millennial Woes, Davis Aurini, Jim Goad, and many others) feeds into this mess. Nor will I touch on the MQ (Manlet Question—Striker, Nathan Damigo, J.F. Gariepy, to mercifully name but a few), as there are already enough balls in the air for the average reader to ponder on.
The key point is that the Alt-Right, both in what became its focus and what constituted its motivation, was incredibly petty, personal, and focused on one sad, transient moment in time. One more image to leave you with: the Alt-Right is basically an unhappy high school snapshot of U.S. Gen-Xers and Millennials and very little else.
