This is not the alt-right but some fringe wackos. Liberal news media lies again.

I suspect, as history repeats itself often, these were fringe whackos from the left paid to impersonate what the fringe left whackos project the "right" to be. And, as it happens so often, they are very far off the mark and end up putting their own dark desires on display.

Actually listening to the whole half-hour video...this whole article is somewhat misdirected.

There are certain items about Spencer’s speech that are objectionable, but the ‘dog whistle’ moments (to borrow an MSM phase) again is an example of tweaking the media on the nose, in the manner of Internet trolls.

For example: why use the term ‘Lugenpresse’ for the mainstream media? Because they know it will get a rise out of them, and that hysterical overreaction is *funny*.

It is a long speech on the hypocrisy of the media, and how the elites of today elevate anything that is degenerate. You might harp on the man’s emphasis on the effect of our popular culture on white communities in particular, but it is simply using the MSM’s own game against them, and calling out their hypocrisy even further; ‘identity politics is okay for thee and not for me’.

Even if you don’t agree with some of his more inflammatory rhetoric (and I disagree with his particular viewpoints on certain items, like his opinion about how the Iran deal actually wasn’t that bad), it is a fascinating speech on its own (and calls out the hypocrisy of the left and its media allies), and well worth the half-hour of your time.

And the sad thing, about his more far-right rhetoric: it is a complete creation of the media and their absolute unwillingness to budge even one iota on their worldview, doubling down on the “white people are evil/stupid/hateful and just need to die” rhetoric.

Substitue all uses of ‘whiteness’ for any other race in this speech, and would there be a similar outcry?

The Left coined the alt-right term and will try to shoehorn as many right-leaning groups into it as possible. I have to admit, the Left went into full screech mode more quickly than I expected, which makes me think that the outcome of this election was not as surprising to them as they claim.
