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.

"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?

Ben loves it when he is described like this so he can play victim and trot out that ADL statistic

Total fraud

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
