WHO'S WHO IN THE DISSIDENT RIGHT: LAUREN SOUTHERN

Lauren trying to be Southern

The Dissident Right is no place for women, although there have been quite a large number of prominent ones over the years.

Thanks to the beta-orbiter effect, any reasonably attractive woman entering the Dissident Right can be assured of a mass following (even Claire Khaw!). At a rough guess I would say that a female gains around 100-500 times as much attention as an equally intelligent and verbally dexterous male. However, much of that attention is malicious so that, after enjoying the "spotlight" for a while, most sane females are repelled by it.

Like meteors they burn brief and bright. Lauren Southern, however, seems to have more legs than this. Before taking an extended break from the internet 2019-20, just shy of her 24th birthday, she was perhaps the most popular female in the Dissident Right. 

Southern is apparently partly Jewish, and got involved in the "big tent" movement that the Alt-Right was back in 2015. Like many at the time, she came from the libertarian side, running as a candidate for the Libertarian Party in the 2015 federal elections in her native Canada. She got less than 1% of the vote, but her campaign attracted attention online, and she then garnered support from Breitbart News and Rebel Media. She soon started working for Rebel, before branching out on her own, doing activism and videos, and raising considerable amounts through social media, when it was still easy for popular "Alt-Righters" and "Alt-Liters" to do so.

Following the election of Trump and the subsequent crackdown on Dissident Righters, things became harder for Southern, and she found herself deplatformed and demonetized in various ways. Soon after this she bailed out of the Dissident Right, but after a year or so away she started posting videos again. These were much less overtly political -- and therefore less likely to be banned by YouTube -- and also more self reflective. 

This pattern of behaviour, along with her earlier involvement in cosplay, suggests that she is mainly a sophisticated narcissist and a gifted grifter, with only a minimal commitment to the principles she espoused in her earlier career. Other positions that she adopted, including elements of White nationalism, were taken up in order to "fit in" with the Alt-Right and identitarian crowd when it seemed to pay to do so.

Most likely to say: "Normally I would not talk about my private life on the internet this candidly..."

  1. I liked her book how the boomers and Islam screwed her generation. It was well written for a debut book and it required courage to write something like this in the rainbow dictatorship of Canada.

    She is also good looking and mature much beyond her years.

    She is certainly not together with a POC as the image suggests. If so, you (and others) would had said so directly, so I feel the image is a bit manipulative.

    Other than that, thanks for being one of the few quality sites that are still active. You get far too little credit for your sheer persistence.

    1. She rode the cock carousel and part of that was the POC quarter. Her fake natioanlist simps don't like to hear she's a bit of a thot and a shameless grifter but that's the reality of it.

  2. "..no place for women.."

    Is not Southern a self-confessed male!? As stated by him here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7vHvclMgYI

    Hermeticism, the core religion of Western civ, with its alchemical transgenderism, at it again?

  3. This is the woman who has had very curious connections with endless dodgy characters and grifters like the queer fellow who turned out to be feeding info and ratting people out to the left and all the rest of the weird freakshow that surrounds these e-celeb grifters. All just one coincidence after another, I'm sure. Like those terrible rumors about Greg being gay and having a gay network, etc. Can't possibly be true.
