VACUITY IS NOT AN OPTION — THOUGHTS ON THE ORLANDO SHOOTING

Orlando's Pulse Nightclub on an average night.

by Colin Liddell

Being Alt-Right means being more or less right all the time. I'm not saying we knew where and when what happened would happen, but we definitely knew that it would happen—to such an extent that I was actually somewhat bored when I heard the news that an Islamic gunman had gone into a gay club in Orlando and gunned everybody down. More worryingly, what we know we still know, and something like it will definitely happen again. Maybe quite soon. Right now those attending the European Football Championships in France have to be more than just a little concerned.

But, rather than dwelling on how right we are, what about the other side? What was the large, amorphous blob that is the Non-Alt-Right thinking? It's not like Orlando was the first time an "unexploded Muslim" suddenly went off in a public place.
