DEFENDING ANDREW ANGLIN AND QUESTIONING THE FUTURE OF THE ALT-RIGHT

/pol/

As the Alt Right attempts to find its balance after the election of Donald Trump threw it into “and now what’s next?” mode, it is clear that the most entertaining sites — The Daily Stormer and The Right Stuff — command a huge amount of traffic. This has caused an impulse among many Alt Right sites to imitate this classic formula.

However, this runs into what we may call “the Stormfront Effect,” which is what happens when a relatively small but very active group online seems to represent more of public opinion than it actually does, at least until people realize that this group consists of people who are mostly minor participants in our society. Then, people stop giving it credence.

EYE FROM THE RIGHT: DEADPOOL


Contemporary Media seen from the Right

This movie was total bullshit. First off – it's a spin-off of a spin-off of the awful, stupid X-Men movies. If I had known that I would NEVER have bothered to see it. So now you know.

And, yes, it’s another f**king comic book – they are a curse on modern cinema. GROW the hell up, people, and read some literature. I detest most comic books – outside a few adult orientated ones with high intelligence. I much prefer books because books make great films.

THE DUMBING-DOWN AND FEMINIZATION OF DOCUMENTARIES



One of the most noticeable trends during my life has been the extent to which popular documentaries have been dumbed-down and feminized. In the past the typical documentary on British television would be presented by someone like Lord Kenneth Clark, Sir David Attenborough, Jacob Bronowski, or James Burke, men of evident genius, with deep familiarity with their subjects. But combined with their great erudition, they often had a slightly aloof manner or an appearance that wasn't exactly show business.
