So the fall of the alt right is more important then it seems, it was the defeat of organized White identity politic that we have not seen before or sense. Yes the right wing has re surged under Trump with new found patronage from powerful people but organized Whiteness has been thoroughly defeated. The new wave of the right is very racially agnostic with many of its big names being POC. If you watch Jreg he coined this "multi racial fascism"

Ngl queen, this post is less funny than most of your other ones, but you really got me with the punchline

If you watch Jreg he coined this "multi racial fascism"

💀💀💀 i'm sorry, Jreg's a dead giveaway

Anyway, does the guy you got back together with after you cheated on him know about this girlfriend of yours? Looking forward to your next post 🧡🧡🧡

also what is wrong with jreg he is a leftist guy, the only chud thing I can recall him doing was he had that video poking fun at Hasan Piker but like so ? Hasan Piker is not the god king of leftism he is not above criticism or even mockery

She is not my girlfriend as in my romantic interest, she is a friend who is female. Maybe you aren't American but here it is common for girls to call each other girlfriend in a platonic way.

Hate it when straight girls use the word that way tbh. Stolen valour.

Anyway, not saying Jreg's a chud, but I am saying he's a satirical performance artist who is always shitposting and it's often hard to tell what his point is, if he even has one, and I'm saying I get the same vibes from you.

he isn't that complicated he is clearly a leftist, depending on your definitions you can maybe say centrist liberal but he is not right wing at all

Since when did the alt-right go anywhere?

[–] gdog05@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

They went to the top of the government.

I guess you could say the alt right is just mainstream republican politics now.

[–] BussyGyatt@feddit.org 7 points 2 days ago

so, the rise of the alt-right then?

The alt rights main goal was more power or at least better unity and institutional positions for white people. how has the position of white people gotten better since 2017

Here's the thing, it hasn't. Because that's not how this works. Racist laws don't help white people that are still stealt from, they just harm the minorities more. They look like they improve the standing of whites, but that's merely because they've degrading others rights at a faster rate than whites'.

I am sorry what ? This is so wrong it's insulting to victims of racism, let's say that Black people are not allowed to own houses, that would make houses cheaper for White people as there is less competition for buyers, let's say that Black people aren't allowed to be idk sys admins, that means whie sys admisn have less competition and can demand higher wages.

[–] Tomassci@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 hours ago

It would, sadly landlords don't like to make houses cheap.

Everyone in any position of influence in the federal government that isn't white is being labeled a DEI hire and fired. Words related to the discussion of any issue not purtaining to white people have been labeled 'woke' and banned by government censors. The civil rights division of the Department of Justice no longer prevents discrimination against minorities. Instead the civil rights lawyers are being deployed with the goal of destroying minority groups in any manner possible.

Where is Richard Spencer now ?

The alt right is organized White identitarianism. That was their main policy innovation.

Are you stupid?

[–] IloveyouMF@lemmy.world -3 points 2 days ago

How am I wrong ?

At some point I'm going to start believing that we're clashing with another dimension where this shit actually happened because what the fuck are you on about. In what version of earth was the alt right movement defeated??? Lmaoo
