The Alt-Right, Dissident Right, whatever it’s called, is replacing the Establishment Conservatives as the legitimate voice of the non-progressive citizens of the United States. These are the people who voted for Donald Trump and until he was elected their point of view was almost completely unrepresented in political and journalistic circles.
But why are the old voices in the Republican Party and the Legacy Conservative Media falling by the wayside? That’s at least easy to see. It’s because they had no clue why Donald Trump was so popular. They couldn’t (or wouldn’t) see that they were the hapless tools of the Progressives. They truly were the stupid party or at least pretended to be.
So, I’ve been thinking about what is so different about the New Right. First of all, it would be inaccurate to suppose that this is a monolithic group. They disagree tremendously about many things but specifically and especially around what the outcome of their efforts will be. And undeniably the New Right is chock full of “characters.” Trying to list their defining characteristics I came up with this list:
- They recognize that we’re being played by the Left and the Controlled Opposition.
- They know enough about the Left’s tactics to have at least a chance at not being steam-rolled.
- They recognize that anti-white racism is an intentional and powerful tactic but that it provides the means to wake up and unite Americans against the campaign being waged against them.
- They spoke up against legal and illegal immigration being used to disenfranchise the native population.
- They spoke up against all the globalist tactics used to bankrupt Americans.
- The know how dire the situation is.
- They’re on our side.
- They’re not afraid.
Looking at all these factors, what it tells me about the New Right is that they aren’t fooled into thinking the Left are their fellow Americans. They won’t be co-opted by the Left-Wing Media or Institutions. They know the Left is their enemy.
What all this says to me is that they aren’t thinking about ideological definitions and logic chopping. They’ve realized that we can’t win this war by persuading our opponents of the superior logic or morality of our position. They realize that the only way to win a fight against power politics is by using power politics. And they’ve realized that the only way to beat identity politics is with identity politics. They’re thinking about strategy and tactics for beating the leftists at their own game.
Basically, they’re not stupid.
Will they continue to be successful? Nobody knows. But what is clear is that they are the only option that even might work. But unfortunately, their definition of success differs from mine. They mostly assume that the whole system will and should blow up. They’re much braver than I am or maybe they have much less to lose. But I’m not dumb enough to think that things will get better if we play nice with the Left. That’s what got us here in the first place so I’m following the path that the New Right is blazing. I don’t agree with everything being said. And as a I mentioned, unanimity doesn’t actually exist in the New Right but the general direction is clear enough. Donald Trump is our Northern Star and we will follow him as long as he can withstand the onslaught. If he falls then we’ll be waiting for the spark to ignite the powder keg. Because it’s long been primed.
There’s some valuable insights into your question what is the Alt-Right? Brett Stevens on his blog amerika has made much regarding your question understandable. Vox Day too offers his critical insights. Dont remember the sequence of these axioms, but these are what helped me to understand things I wasn’t connecting with. – Alt-Right is not a movement per say, it is the Ziegeist. – Alt-Right is inevitable. (we only have to see the effects of the NYT’s hiring of Joan and her rancid posts on “hating dumb fucking stupid white folks to grok why, as Vox said “We are all… Read more »
As you say, the zeitgeist is what is driving the success of the Right. To use an engineering analogy, think of the United States as a complex system like a steam engine that due to mismanagement has been allowed to get out of control. Pressure has been building up for generations now and either the pressure will be released through the safety valve of political change or the over-pressure will rupture and explode the vessel into a thousand bits of shrapnel. Some of the Alt-Right say that is the only way to resolve this problem. I hope there is another… Read more »
Yes, indeed. As you infer, of a unique trait of Christian White western culture. Only prudence stays the hand of unlimited redress. Savings Grace, and Providence runs deep, in spite of the collectivists efforts to undermine the mores and scripture, the underlying precepts. Some of us are hardly cognizant of the centuries of such things on their belief systems. A couple hundred years of spotty inconsistent propaganda dont genocide the ideas of Christian Grecco/Roman which created the west. And installing sexual perverts in the Clergy has not had the intended effects, but it has created an underground more grass roots… Read more »
Agreed, let’s hope the luck goes our way and our opponents prove to be weak. On a totally different item I read that all the remaining West Virginia Supreme Court are going to be impeached. I’m guessing that is a good thing?
