I don't think so.
The alt-right is not constantly infighting.
The left are more likely to devolve into infighting.
This google guy was moderate left wing and the hard line social justice response from Google and the media will alienate a lot more of the intellectual left.
Hispanics and African Americans often lean socially conservative.
Gay men are a lot more fiscally conservative than you might think.
None of those groups identify with single white woman.
Etc etc.
- ZeroGravitas 9y ago"This google guy" was a self-declared conservative, and mentioned cultural marxism, an alt-right touchstone, in the very memo that is being discussed. His first interviews were with alt-right Youtube channels. I agree with your points about lots of minority groups being socially (and/or fiscally) conservative. It's lucky for the left that the white social conservatives have been driving them away consistently for decades.
- sheepmullet 9y agoCertainly a conservative compared to his coworkers. I'd argue he is still left of center. He is just interviewing with the groups who will give him a fair go.
- TheAceOfHearts 9y agoJordan Peterson is alt-right?
- ZeroGravitas 9y agoI'd never heard of him till yesterday, when I read a comment where he replied to one of his fans who wanted to form a breakaway state so his children could be raised only among their own ethnicity, and his reply was (paraphrasing from memory, but it was a weird enough answer that it kind of stuck) "Strengthen your soul to achieve your political goals". So yeah he's definitely in that general area.
