Every year Counter-Currents, which is regarded as an important Alt-Right site, used to put up a little "virtual shrine" to Hitler on his birthday, at least until this article appeared. This was a great chance for Greg Johnson, to make a little money selling books to Nazi LARPers (real Nazis no longer exist). This was just one of many ways that the Alt-Right allowed itself to be conflated with Naziism. In April 2013, I saw this shit yet again and wrote the following article at AlternativeRight.com to make the point that this was not the way for the Alt-Right to go. Three and a half years later, Richard Spencer was heiling Trump.
When you’re covered in shit – whether your own or something you just trod in – what do you do? There are a number of strategies. I don’t want to leave any of them out so here is a list:
- Head straight for the nearest tap or bathroom to wash the shit off.
- Ignore your own shit and instead divert the "shit narrative" to other people’s shit.
- Pretend that the shit isn’t shit (and even wallow in it).
- A combination of any 2 or 3 of the above.
There, I think that about covers it.
