AN OUTBREAK OF LARPing COULD DESTROY THE ALT RIGHT

The Alt Right has outlived every prediction by a credible source and continues to gain momentum. Essentially an updated European New Right that incorporates social conservatism and rejects the reliance on socialist-style government, the Alt Right forms a cultural wave that has successfully upended politics in the late stages of liberal democracy.

However, right now the Alt Right suffers for its success, because in becoming a voice with authority, it has attracted a wide range of people to that voice, including the type of angry losers who were in actual hate groups back in the day and the type of resentful and pointless internet fedora-toffing, neckbeard, basement dwelling NEETs that we all know from Reddit, which apparently infiltrated 4chan some time ago and took over large portions of it.

THE KURSK STRATEGY

TL;DR: Don’t go full Nazi.

by James Lawrence

Late last year, the ‘Hailgate’ incident ignited a furious war of words on the Alt-Right, centring on the use of Nazi rhetoric and imagery by people in our movement.

In my view, most people in the Alt-Right took the correct line: viewing the incident as a failure, chastising those responsible, but not overreacting and cutting ties with the movement as a whole. Those who did try to distance themselves were wrong: four drunkards doing Nazi salutes in an audience of more than three hundred is pretty damn respectable, especially at a time when 'mainstream' heads of state were puffing on Fidel Castro’s dead mass-murdering Commie cigar.

CHICAGO KANGZ: WHEN THE LARPING STOPS


Defenders of #BlackLivesMatter routinely defend the Black racist organization by saying that its message does not imply other lives don't matter. It's not a zero-sum game, we are sanctimoniously told:
It's the same dynamic that researchers at Harvard Business School described in a recent study: White people tend to see racism as a zero-sum game, meaning that gains for African Americans come at their expense. Black people see it differently. From their point of view, the rights pie can get bigger for everyone.
Such claims look increasingly hollow after four Black BLM thugs kidnapped and tortured a young White Trump supporter and—with typical high Black IQ—decided to livestream their criminal escapade on Facebook, leading to their arrest.

EUROPA REDUX: WHAT WILL REPLACE THE TOTTERING EU?


For 41 years Britain, the world's most famous Island nation, went through a period of national LARPing. After watching ABBA triumph in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1975, it tried its best to become a landlocked or semi-landlocked Continental nation that could fit in with its neighbours. To do this, the Brits gave up the shilling, the inch, and almost the pint, and instead tried their hand at being a nation of wine-swilling, baguette twirling coffee drinkers.

The Brexit vote has hopefully reversed this insanity, even if it can't quite bring back the silver sixpence and the Fahrenheit scale. But who knows? Once you start getting back in touch with your true self, anything is possible.

THE LARPING OF NASA



NASA has recently come out in support of ditching the American flag in favour of using what has been described as an “International Flag of the Planet Earth.” Accompanying the story is a picture of a Non-White woman in a space suit, sitting in front of two of the new flags, reminding all you cisgendered racists out there that the endless vacuity of the cosmos is essentially a feminine space that must no longer be violated by the phallic rocket thrust of the evil White man.
