/r/AltRight

5,617 realists redpilling liberals for 6 years!

/r/AltRight is a community dedicated to an alternative form of right wing ideology. The alt-right takes pride in fairly analyzing all aspects of modern society. No topic is taboo and no line of reasoning can be disregarded. All conclusions arrived at by a logical line of argumentation must be accepted or refuted, but never ignored.

Given the fact that many online alt-right communities are prone to being censored the alt-right has taken up a very peculiar lexicon to both circumvent standardized rules against X-ism and weed out shills. At first the odd terminology used by members of the alt-right will be off-putting to newcomers. The only advice I can offer is lurk more.

What follows is a short interview between myself and the moderators of /r/altRight

1. What is the alt right?

The Alt-Right, unlike the dominant ideology of the 20th Century (Liberalism/Conservatism), examines the world through a lens of realism. Rather than continue to look at the world through the ideological blinders that Liberalism imposes in its dogmatic evangelism of the Equalitarian religion, we prefer to look & examine social relations & demographics from a perspective of what's real. Thus, racial & sexual realism is a key component of the Alt-Right - perhaps the key component that ties the diverse factions within it together.

Another core principle of the Alt-Right is Identitarianism. Identitarianism is the prioritization of social identity, regardless of political persuasion. Thus, the Alt-Right promotes White Identity and White Nationalism.

As a counter-culture, we've developed a plethora of in-jokes & terminology. For a guide to the lexicon, please refer to the TRS Lexicon guide or to Social Matter's NRx Compendium of concepts & terms.

2. Is the alt right present in any other online communities?

The Alt Right is very internet focused. Not only do we have several websites and communities of our own such as http://therightstuff(dot)biz, http://www.fashthenation.com, http://www.dailystormer(dot)com, http://www.amren(dot)com, and http://www.counter-currents(dot)com among many, many others, but we also have a significant presence on every major social media platform from Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, etc. We also are very visible in comment sections all over the internet. Many websites have completely removed their comment sections because they are so completely dominated by the Alt Right uncovering the bias of the article and bringing the truth to light. Ultimately taking away the comment sections only serves to hurt those websites, though, as sites without comments get significantly fewer page views and thus ad revenue.

3. Who are the main spokesmen of the alt right?

Some of the key figures of the alt right are Richard Spencer of the National Policy Institute, Andrew Anglin of The Daily Stormer, Jared Taylor of American Renaissance, Mike Enoch of The Right Stuff, Jazzhands McFeels of Fash The Nation, Nathan Damigo of Identity Evropa, Peter Brimelow of VDARE, Kevin MacDonald of The Occidental Observer and Greg Johnson of Counter Currents.

4. Why do you think the reddit admins have allowed /r/altright to remain on the site?

We follow the rules of Reddit. It’s as simple as that. We don’t harass individuals or other communities. We don’t even allow reddit links. Even Tots has a shadowban on our sub to prevent users from following links and inadvertently brigading. We’ve been allowed to remain on Reddit because we follow the rules. But as we all know; Reddit is extremely liberally biased. Ultimately we will be banned if for no other reason than we’ve become too popular. A notable example of this was /r/CoonTown which never violated any of Reddit’s rules and was actually known for following those rules to the extreme.

5. What is going to happen to America if Trump wins?

Trump isn’t everything America needs but he’s definitely a step in the right direction. He has some good ideas about immigration but falls short of repealing the disastrous 1965 Immigration Act, though he has signaled against it.

If he is as strong as he claims to be on immigration, we’d see a very quick and positive change in this country. Instead of spending money on the rest of the world’s poor, we could finally spend money on OUR country and OUR people: smaller classroom sizes, more money for bridges and roads, perhaps nationwide high speed internet via a new version of the TVA? There is so much we could do if we didn’t bog ourselves down by bringing in more people who are ultimately a net loss for the country.

6. What is going to happen to America if Trump loses?

If Trump loses, America loses. We will continue our current path of destruction with events like the Ferguson and Baltimore riots becoming more commonplace. The concept of White Privilege as an Original Sin would be enshrined into law. More and more white tax dollars would be redistributed to minorities to secure their votes and more and more minorities would be imported to ensure the continuing cycle of gibs/votes continue.

White communities will be forced to bring in more and more diversity as White Flight becomes a thing of the past. Obama has already started implemented a new Section 8 policy where they will be building government housing in nice neighborhoods and importing diversity from America’s violent inner cities to these once peaceful areas. As areas lose their sense of community, the high trust society is replaced by a low trust one. Schools will have metal detectors and gas stations will have Plexiglas. This is America’s future if Trump loses.

Regardless of the election outcome, the Alt Right will continue to grow as a movement and political force. The Alt Right is not simply the Donald Trump fan club. We were here before Trump and we will be here after Trump.

7. What is the purpose of your sub?

The ultimate goal of the Alt Right is to promote White Identity. Also, our other purposes are to spread the study of Human Bio-Diversity (HBD) and various strains of illiberal thought (European New Right, 4PT, German Conservative Revolution, Nietzsche, Heidegger, etc). This is a metapolitical movement that aims to change what politics is about here in the United States (and the world).

As I stated previously, the Alt Right is a collection of many communities. Our sub is a hub where the various communities can share information, communicate, and generally have a positive and convenient place to associate with one another. One thing I like about our sub is that a person that primarily frequents one community can check us out and would be introduced to content from other communities that they didn’t know about. There is so much great talent appearing in the Alt Right it’s hard to keep up with it all and having /r/AltRight share a bit of everything is a great way to get an overall picture of the movement as a whole.

We also like to utilize this unique “Alt Right Hub” experience and highly notable figures from across the Alt Right in our AMA series. It is a great way, not only for fans of the various personalities to ask questions, but also for people to be introduced to them and their work for the first time. On our sidebar we have a list of previous AMAs that some people might find interesting.
