Nearly all conservative organizations have a really bad and self-destructive habit of responding and reacting to any red flag that Leftists and the media wave at them.
I’ll consider or worry about “the alt-right” when they actually exist as something more than just a term some guy at an obscure magazine happened to create.
Or the antifa fascists, for that matter?
Whenever the only descriptions of a conservative movement found on the web are written by proto-communists (Yahoo, Google, and more) one can with absolute certainty believe there is chicanery afoot. Putting an entire political movement into the narrow (size 6 AAA) shoebox such as to be done with it, is a waste of intellectual effort.
Are there racists who identify as conservative? Perhaps. I do not know any and all my friends are conservative.
Are there communists who identify as liberals? Surely. Are there liberals who believe in Marxist principles, including racism? A more probing question is, are there any liberals who are not Marxist? Upon serious investigation, no. All liberals are Marxist.
The only people painting the Alt Right with a racist brush are proto-Marxists, cats scratcing about in their litterbox, trying to hide their stink.
Our church had a vote on whether to affiliate with the SBC last fall. Thank goodness the congregation had the spiritual wisdom to reject it.
Just do a search for southern + baptist + refugees

The big headline = “Southern Baptist Convention urges churches to welcome refugees”
For most of the supposed ‘alt-right’, it’s not about white supremacy, it’s simply not wanting to be forced into being the minority. (or wiped off the face of the earth) It’s about being fed up with being blamed for everything bad in the world. It’s acknowledging that in the 13th-14th century some humans had tools made of iron and were sailing the oceans in ships while other humans were running around the jungle with nary a thought about the world outside their jungles. It’s about not believing in some fairy tale communistic new world order where everyone lives happily ever after because we’ll all be equal. It’s about being sick of the blame for slavery when we were the first to stop practicing and muslims get no blame at all for it even though they’re the king of slavery and still practice it today, not to mention the millions of white Christians enslaved by muslims. It’s about fighting back against the false history being taught in school these days.
Of course there are white supremacists and a lot of them are evil bastards.
Virtual signalling by the SBC.
They’re on the same slippery slope as Methodists.
Very sad.
On the off chance that you actually would appreciate a truthful response to this article here you go. The entire article is an opinion piece not supported by fact. There isnt an “Alt-Right”, it was a made up pajoritive that is being used to demonise anyone not a leftist. It’s the same methodology as fascist “antifa” calling conservatives fascists. There is no truth to it and pointing out how they are literally being fascist doesn’t make them even flinch, because they know they are lying.
Then the article pulls Vox Day into a leadership position of the “Alt-Right” which is a bit silly, considering how iconoclastic Day is and how the “Movement” is fake. That being said, the quotes they use to paint Day as a rascist, do no such thing. In fact compared to almost anyone on the left he sounds pretty fair. It’s not like he is calling for “The Race” to conquer the southwest united states, like La Raza. He isn’t suggesting that all other religions be subjugated, and killed if they don’t convert, like Muslims. He isn’t suggesting that whites be made slaves of blacks to make up for long dead whites having slaves in the past while completely ignoring the slavery that exists today, like black liberation theologists, the black panthers, et al.
Nationalism is synonymous with patriotism. A rational person doesn’t need a defense for patriotism.
Now the real rub here is that you have an organization of religious leaders voting against thier natural allies based on the lies of people that openly and loudly say how much they hate christians. They might be my brothers in Christ but they have lost their spirit of discernment so thoroughly that I question their motives, their faith, their morality, thier intelligence, and thier patriotism.
What Christians should know about the alt-right-
that Islam is alt right. And the left and its secular humanist state run religion has cozied up with it-
mainly because of its hatred and inability to get along with two other major ‘right wing’ religions- Christainity and Judaism.
People need to start labeling Islam alt right or even just ‘right wing’.
“is there a similar proposal for the left?”
Of course not. Black pride: no problem. Gay pride: you go, girl. White pride: racist! hater! Alt-right! Nazi!
I do not know why you begin your comment questioning whether I really wanted a truthful response. I stated I wanted a truthful response.
I appreciate your comment. It was helpful.
The once vernerable SBC is dead. RIP. Maybe they can elect a muslim for their president next go-round.
There should be. The Ctrl-Left is even less Christian than the worst of the Alt-Right, and they are thus even more deserving of condemnation. There is a reason the Nazi (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei) Party had "sozialistische" in their name. Socialism is central to the vast majority of surviving totalitarian political movements.
This is one of the most misinformed articles I have ever read. The author took the very worst smears from the Fake Media and created a toxic stew of propaganda. It’s wrong on every level.
Paul Joseph Watson offered the all-time best short summary of the alt-right. Unfortunately idk how to copy text from a tweet, so I’ll have to link to it. But here’s the gist:
There are two alt-rights. One is large, dynamic, energetic, growing rapidly, and while including all ages, tends to be youthful overall. They reject *almost* all things liberal, are passionate about patriotism and MAGA, and yes, they love their memes. They comprise 90-95% of the alt-right.
The 5-10% of the alt-right that gets ALL the MSM attention has a strong white-pride component. Some of these alt-righters are in fact white supremists. They too reject the Left, but they do it from a white-nationalist POV.
The majority of alt-righters are extremely respectful of Christianity, and strongly pro-life. Many are not Christians, but they honor those that are. Unfortunately, they see no contradiction between showing love and respect for Jesus and dabbling in superficial neopaganism. I haven’t seen evidence that the vast majority takes paganism seriously; they just like to meme about it.
The biggest issue for Christians is that the majority alt-right embraces the LGBT movement lock, stock and barrel/with open arms. That’s the single biggest difference between the right and the alt-right . These are kids who have been raised from kindergarten to revere homosexuality. They genuinely cannot fathom why it’s wrong. (And btw, yes—this includes Bannon and Breitbart.) This is a non-negotiable for them; it will take a miracle of God to change it.
Here’s the link to the PJW tweet. Please take it to heart; PJW actually knows what he’s talking about:

Jesus came to divide. He wants to know where we stand. Tough times are the only cure for our problems. Are you prayers getting answered?
Weren’t Southern Baptists behind the Klan?
Anti-semite
Anti-Catholic
Anti-black
Anti-Republican
PS: I noticed that an upthread post says the majority alt-right is anti-illegal-immigration. This is very, very true. They want to conserve the culture of the US, and they want a wall ASAP.
This is why it’s impossible to truly follow Christ and be a white supremacist: How can we claim we are superior to people of other races when Jesus has chosen them?
I would tend to agree....SBC got taken over about five years ago and it’s purely a pagan-charm crowd today. Not to insult anyone who is a baptist, but if your minister Joe or Deacon Bob comes up to chat on resolution ten...you need to tell they are on the short end of a stick with your attendance and membership.
I think “alt-right” is mostly a construction of the Democrats.
deplorable,
etc
Very helpful. Thanks
