The ADL's complaint about Bannon is thin gruel: http://www.adl.org/sp/stephen-bannon-backgrounder/bannon-backgrounder.html?referrer=https://www.google.com/ http://www.adl.org/sp/stephen-bannon-backgrounder/bannon-bac...
It boils down to their claim the Alt Right is anti-Semitic, when that's only the small portion of it that's the Alt White vs. the vastly larger Alt West and even larger Alt Lite which isn't there yet, plus our rule that we don't shoot at people who are shooting in the right direction (which, come to think of it, has not as of late characterized the Alt White), Breitbart.com is not an entirely polite or Leftist publication, "Bannon is a Critic of the Republican Establishment and the Left." (a truly devastating charge, how dare he!), "Bannon has Held a Number of Positions in his Career." (the gravamen of that is they weren't on the Left), and they bury the lede by ending with "We Are Not Aware of Any Anti-Semitic Statements From Bannon." (even they are not willing to take his ex-wife's claims from their 2007 divorce as credible).
Seriously, the establishment, remarkably excluding the GOPe, has gone all in on smearing the next Republican Karl Rove figure with abject lies even the ADL can't defend face-to-face, and our response is "We Don't Care". As I've commented here before, that the GOPe is included in the "we" should and I suspect does terrify the Left, they're rapidly losing one of their potent weapons short of lawfare.
- norea-armozel 10y agoThe Alt-right is just a code word for White Nationalism. So, if you don't like it then denounce it.
- hga 10y agoSorry, but you don't get to define what the Alt Right is, the members of it have that privilege. Any reason you don't show us the respect of self-identity that you, at minimum, desire from others for your identity (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13055540 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13055540)?
- dragonwriter 10y agoYour own descriptions are the substance of White Nationalism. I will accept that they are different (but overlapping!) identities, but they are the same substantive political ideology.
- dragonwriter 10y ago> It boils down to their claim the Alt Right is anti-Semitic, when that's only the small portion of it that's the Alt White vs. the vastly larger Alt West Your own description of the view of your own "alt West" faction is that it holds that Jews should be excluded from society outside of the State of Israel (this type of separationist -- as opposed to either extermination or subordination in one state -- view toward disfavored groups is typically what distinguishes white nationalism from white supremacy); which is quite anti-Semitic even if it falls short of exterminationist. So, no, anti-Semitism clearly isn't restricted to the faction you call "alt White", though it's quite possible that they are even more rabidly anti-Semiotics (I'm guessing your "alt White" label refers to the subgroup holding outright white supremacist rather than merely white nationalist substantive ideology.)
