One thing Freepers need to keep in mind is Freeperdom is a bit of an echo chamber, in a very big internet. I want to comment here because the alt right and new right are important to understand for the conservative movement.

I’ve been hanging on the parts of the internet that would say they are alt-right and new-right for a while, they have been calling themselves that for a long time. Saying there is no alt-right, or that they are Nazis, to them would be like saying there are no Freepers, or Freepers are fascists to you.

The people who call themselves alt-right are mostly young guys in the early stages of becoming conservative. They know there is something wrong with the left. They know they don’t like those people, or the world they want. But they have been inculcated with academic propaganda saying conservatives are selfish, corrupt, impotent cronies enriching themselves, and they have seen our political leadership sell out to the left, like Boehner and Ryan, who honestly, fit the mold to a T.

The point is, they hate all the right things, and will end up good conservatives, if we keep the door open.

As for the racists, there are some in the white supremacist movement and national socialist movement who see these guys and think they can take it over. The media loves that, and plays it up. But already they are being derided as alt-white and not right. Vox Day, one of the leaders in the alt-right is calling them all LARPing Hitler wannabes who are not worthy of alliance.

So the movement, even though in the early stages of development, is basically heading toward conservatism by a process of elimination of everything else.

They are a powerful force. When the left shows up and hits a conservative with a bike lock, those guys are the one who dox the perpetrator and get him arrested. When the left attacks, they are the ones who come up with textbooks like SJWs Always Lie which who how the attack begins, and how to repel it in the office.

They are a fount of creativity which will change conservatism when they mature. National Review or American Spectator were just mindless plebes scratching each other’s back using cash and media mentions from an establishment that wanted to control the narrative and book sales.

Unlike that, the alt right is, for now, an intellectual meritocracy, where the smartest are rising. Mark my words, just as their memes probably helped Trump get an extra percent or two by affecting leftist motivation, in twenty years they will be affecting elections much more effectively.

Keep the door open to them, and don’t knock the names any more than you would want the leftist media telling everyone what a Freeper was. Whoever wants to come near the right or identify as right in some form should be welcomed, and guided on their journey to traditional conservatism.
