Why the alt-right isn’t wrong (Clinton anti alt-right speech this Thurs)
The Spectator UK ^ | July 30, 2016 | James Delingpole

Posted on 08/24/2016 4:52:35 AM PDT by libertarian27

To help you understand what’s going on, I’d like you to cast your minds back to the Eighties and the era of ‘political correctness gone mad’. At the time, we thought it was so loopy it would disappear up its own bottom. Instead, it continued to get worse and worse, leading to lunacies like the nursery schools in Oxfordshire teaching kids to sing about ‘Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep’, and thence to nonsense like the ‘safe spaces’ promoted on university campuses for a generation of special snowflakes, as well as to vexatious campaigns like the one conducted at Oxford by anti-white race hustlers known as Rhodes Must Fall.

Yes, to some it might seem a joke but to the kids who have to live in this oppressive environment — as Brendan himself knows, having written about the Stepford Students in The Spectator — it’s horribly real. Young white straight males suffer especially: the moment they arrive on campus they are treated like potential rapists; in lectures they’re harangued by Marxist professors on their ‘white privilege’, as if all ills in the world from the abuse of women to racism are somehow their fault. And the conservatives who should have been fighting their corner just haven’t been up to the job because of the fatal weakness so many on the right have: a secret terror that they’re as nasty as the left claims they are.

For years, from America to Europe to Australia, on a whole range of social issues from the environment to gay marriage to multiculturalism, diversity and gender, mainstream conservatism has far too eagerly conceded territory to the progressive opposition in order to demonstrate its caring, fluffy side. Even when conservative administrations have been in office they have failed to arrest the leftwards drift of the culture.

This Thursday in Reno, NV Clinton will apparently be delivering..."a speech to address Donald Trump and his advisers’ embrace of the disturbing ‘alt-right’ political philosophy.”

She will be attempting to shame Free Speech out of the election.

The social pressure and shame, which is the main whip used by the left to keep their people on the plantation, doesn’t work anymore.

But they’ll still rely on it.

Hillary Clinton Plans Speech Against ‘Alt Right’ Political Philosophy

Breitbart:

In a statement to reporters, Clinton’s campaign promised Clinton would “deliver a speech to address Donald Trump and his advisers’ embrace of the disturbing ‘alt-right’ political philosophy.”

“This ‘alt-right’ brand is embracing extremism and presenting a divisive and dystopian view of America which should concern all Americans, regardless of party,” the campaign wrote.

Clinton’s preview demonstrates that she will attempt to alienate and exclude “alt-right” groups of Trump supporters as un-American and white nationalist racists. Her campaign suggested that Trump’s political views and temperament are “dangerous” for the country’s future.

She’s too late. Paul Ryan already gave this speech: “This is not who we are” bla, bla, bla.

This election we have put on the back-burner the usual Republican issues and instead are focused on the more pressing issues of the corrupt politicians, the corrupt media, getting rid of the Establishment that work for themselves instead of for the people.

The whip of shame and social pressure is EXACTLY what we are FIGHTING!

Lots of antisemitic comments on the Disqus thread there.

We don't have to put the 'usual Republican issues' on the back-burner.

It's a big tent, it all can be covered.

The problem is, the media is only covering the perceived "mean alt-right" atmosphere of the Right without touching the already mean and nasty atmosphere of the Left.

"The Left" has been shaming and bullying society for decades. Time to push back or lose Western Civilization for good.

The Left won’t be happy until the Right starts shooting. Then they can say, “We told you so.” The Right is much smarter than the Left and should be able to use their evil against them.

Antisemitic comments are designed to shut down the alt-right.

It can all be “covered”, but “achieved” is another thing. We have so much on our plate and the things that Trump is focused on really are the priority right now.

At times I wonder how he will even be able to achieve a fraction of it all because he will meet so much resistance from Paul RINO and the RINOS and RATS.

Racialism is a fundamental part of the alt-right. Jews are begging for trouble, as usual.

That is correct. Most people over 40 have no idea how bad it's gotten. And as Bolshevism spawned its reaction...

It's a fundamental part of the Left, much of the antisemitism you see on comment sections are leftist-trolls.
This article is from the UK, antisemitics there are leftists.

See: "left-wing antisemitism"

It seems (((you))) don’t know what you’re talking about, or are willfully misleading.

You’re getting off-topic. The alt-right, and its inherent, fundamental racialism, which necessarily includes anti-Jewish opinions, is the topic.

That’s not a criticism, even. Just a simple fact. If you deny it, you are either ignorant of the alt-right, or a (((liar))).

And if (((you))) don’t know what ((( ))) means, you are definitely ignorant of the alt-right.

Sure, the left hates Jews. Who doesn’t? Meanwhile, take a look at the MSM, the Never-Trumpers, etc. Jews aplenty.

So, let us look for the new “neo-con” liberal media theme-word-of-the-day! “Alt-right” (sounds good, doesn’t it?).

Kind of like the old standby of a communist-group think: the nazi’s “Alt-Reich” fits their narrative and their themes, doesn’t it?
