BTW, here is a link to the book about which @TheEconomist interviewed me -- and then labeled me "alt-right.




quote:

@benshapiro

It contains the following descriptions of the alt-right:

"In late March, the execrable Milo Yiannopoulos penned a story at Breitbart openly praising the alt-right, including odes to racist cretins like Richard Spencer." (p. xxii-xxiii)

Racial solidarity among members of the intersectional coalition has also driven reverse racial solidarity from the so-called alt-right -- a group of racists who have sought to promote white pride...The alt-right remains a fringe movement, but their arguments have penetrated into more visible circles thanks to a reactionary tendency by some on the Right to embrace anyone who supposedly opposes political correctness. p 208





quote:


@benshapiro

In other words, if you label me alt-right, f*** you and f*** the horse you rode in on.

While Ben isn’t alt right, he is such a whiny little bitch, even though I respect his opinions.

Ben is responsible for radicalizing young men like the one in New Zealand.

That’s what I heard

Shapiro is an Israel first supporter and known Jew there is no way he is alt-right these people are delusional trying to label everyone who isnt far left as alt-right.

They went from labeling him “alt-right” to “radical”

"Everyone who disagrees with me is alt right and a racist."



The children on the left love to push their propaganda.

I've only listened to Ben a few timed, but never heard anything I would consider radical, much less alt-right. Is just opposing the prog agenda enough for the label?

Both sides of this fagot drama are divide and conquer propagandists

it still baffles my why no journalism labels anyone "alt-left", "radical left", or even labels certain people who they are "communist", "socialist", etc.

They love to just throw labels on anyone and everyone from the right, though

The Economist is globalist establishment personified.

I know because I’ve been reading it for 15 years.

Shapiro furkes up at least twice a month pretending to be conservative.

The guy is smart, quick and witty but he's a loose screw.
No direction

Economist went off the deep end in the past 10 years.

They used to be gold standard. Now they are just political hacktivists.
