ALT-RIGHT ECLIPSE ALT-LITE IN WASHINGTON DEMOS



The Alt-Lite have proved adept at getting clicks, but online clicks, it seems, are quite a different thing to actual boots on the ground and fists in the air. 

This was evident in Washington yesterday as the Alt-Right and Alt-Lite went head-to-head in rival demos.

Unfortunately for the Alt-Lite, mild interest in an online clickbaity item about a piece of low-hanging fruit (Moooslims, SJWs, etc.) is not the same thing as people getting fired up enough to come out and march for a cause. So, numerically, it was a big win for the Alt-Right, who drew over 300 supporters to the 20 or 30 of their rivals. 

To get people to actually show up you need something a bit more positive and passionate than the negative Alt-Lite values of "muh freedoms" and "Where's my dildo?" It was no surprise, therefore, that they got their arses handed to them in a bucket in Washington.

Originally the demos were supposed to be united, but then members of the Alt-Lite, including Mike Cernovich and Jack Posobiec, thinking they were as big as their Twitter followings decided to counter-signal the Alt-Right as "racist" and "anti-Semitic" and make their own demo.

While the Alt-Right demo, featuring Richard Spencer, Nathan Damigo, Mike Enoch, Baked Alaska, and others, attracted over 300 supporters, the Alt-Lite demo struggled to get a few dozen at most.

The reason for this is because the Alt-Right actually believes in something positive—identitarianism for a group long denied it, and at a time when the lights of Western European civilization are going out all over the world.

The Alt-Lite by contrast just believes in atomized freedoms, and therefore is part of the process of decay that spawns egoism and apathy. And while that works with low-threshold Twitter followers looking for a bit of bait to click, the downside of it is that you are not likely to mobilize much of a showing IRL. The demos in Washington amply demonstrate that.

Hail victory!

BOWIE: THE CULTURIST REVIEW



To make a culturist critique is to tie an event or person to larger cultural trends. David Bowie (1947-2016) symbolizes the West’s recent progressive cultural apex. After all, he led the charge into gender bending and then married a black Muslim woman. But, these acts stand in stark contrast to the West’s developing tsunami of masculine cultural protectionism.

Matthew Arnold (1822-1888) – the first person to be called a ‘culturist’ practicing ‘culturism,’ – asserted that the West cycled from expansionist, flexible, (progressive) ‘Hellenism’ to contracting, law-abiding, tough, ‘Hebraism.’ The Hellenic periods lack discipline, the Hebraic ones lack ‘sweetness and light.’ In his time, Arnold saw his England as being too Hebraic and France as too Hellenistic.

We in the Alt-Lite / Alt-Right fringe, foresee a coming reckoning that may involve considerable violence. Currently, the West is experiencing a Hellenic peak; soon we will adopt the Hebraic traits of hating foreign cultures, and again accept that successful cultures usually see violence as an honorable duty. Bowie’s death represents the death of the expansionist Hellenic period, and so the dawn of the Hebraic contraction.

NAMELESS PODCAST: STAND WITH 'BASED STICK MAN'!

Kyle Chapman, aka "Based Stick Man," in quaduplicate
In his latest "Nameless" Podcast, Andy Nowicki considers the case of "Based Stick Man" (or "The Alt-Knight," the moniker preferred by Andy). Just weeks after kicking major antifa ass at a Trump rally in Berkeley, California, BSM finds himself under siege from grumbling WNs, many of whom seem unwilling to accept alliances from anyone who deviates from their all-encompassing ideology.

NAMELESS PODCAST: PUNCHING BACK AT THE ANTIFA

Pow! Right in the kisser!
In his latest "Nameless" Podcast, Andy Nowicki discusses the manufactured rift between certain self-professed adherents to the "Alt-Right" and those whom they derisively title the "Alt-Lite." This conflict is examined in the context of stepped up attacks by sucker-punching, battery-chucking, violence-embracing antifa scum and heightened fear and loathing in the Lugenpresse towards all factions of the anti-Establishment "rebel alliance," Right and Lite alike.

TRUMP’S PRESIDENCY: THE CULTURIST CRITIQUE



You might remember my video about Trump being neither Alt-Right or Alt-Light (see below). Trump, I argued, is not Alt-Right because he is not racist. I have never heard him utter a thing about IQ or race or use the word ‘White.’ Actually, my video continues, Trump is not even Alt-Light, because he is not even consistently culturist. For example, Trump never criticizes Islam's intrinsic dangers or the inner-city ‘thug’ culture. 

Trump is neither racist nor culturist, Alt-Right nor Alt-Light. This very failing, that I pointed out in the video, is beginning to haunt Trump’s presidency. He needs to adopt a consistent culturist perspective if he wishes to succeed in reaching his policy objectives.

FAILURE AT THE GATES OF VICTORY


COME HEIL OR HIGH WATER?


by Colin Liddell

Virtue and vice are not, as the Left supposes, determined by a line that divides humanity into "the Blessed" and "the Damned." That is a very Manichean, Judaic, and inherently non-European concept, which has, like some toxic chemical, been present in the moral bloodstream of our civilisation for too long, and with which Western Christianity has long struggled.

No, that simplistic view of good and evil creates a retarded morality that is unable to recognise the organic complexity of reality, and which thus cuts across it with a brutal and unforgiving blade. True virtue is, as Aristotle expounded, a Golden Mean between two unhealthy extremes. Between Cowardice and Rashness, lies the golden virtue of Courage. Between Humility and Vanity, Pride glitters in all its glory...

ALT-RIGHT, ALT-LITE, AND THE FUZZINESS OF DONALD TRUMP


The Alt-Right includes a spectrum of views: from the racist, White Nationalist Alt-Right to the culturist, Western-Civilization protecting Alt-Light. Herein I will cover both sides' mutual disdain for multiculturalism, discuss their differences and place Trump in the spectrum. Ultimately, I will argue, not only is Trump not Alt-Right, he is only tepidly Alt-Lite.

THE ALT-RIGHT AS THE ULTIMATE FREEDOM


The good thing about a lot of our problems is that they are intractable or at least can’t be reduced to simplistic formula or solutions. For example, would "nationalism for everyone" (© The Alt-Lite, 2016) even work when some groups are still struggling with the tribal stage? I think not – and then what do you do when all those areas revert back to rainforests/savannah and the Chinese move in?

The paradoxical nature of many of the vast issues that the Alt-Right concerns itself with – the destiny of man, the spiritual vacuum of modernity, the nature of morality – is also the reason that normie politics sticks to the relatively unchallenging minutiae of tax codes, welfare benefits, and drone strikes.
