I don’t know.. probably more into school shootings and racism than usual?
I didn’t pick the term, I was replying to a comment that used it. I was just trying to keep it consistent.
- mbg721 4y agoFair enough, but you have to realize that nobody calls themselves "alt-right" with the philosophy "Oh boy, more racism and school shootings is just what this country needs."
- mhoad 4y agoI’ve yet to see a single consistent principle from them to be fair. Reactionary is kind of their defining feature. I was more talking about the outcomes that tend to follow them around.
- mbg721 4y agoIf you summed up the American right as "We don't all agree what we want, but it's certainly not this. It was better before," I think most right-wingers would agree. "Reactionary" is thrown around as though all sweeping change is progress, and that's not necessarily true.
- mhoad 4y agoI feel like maybe you’re responding to an argument I’m not actually making. I don’t disagree with anything you just said in that post.
- mbg721 4y agoMy point was that you're never going to find consistent principles in a group that's really a coalition of the persistently unhappy, beyond "this isn't progress".
- skinnymuch 4y agoHave people like Nick Fuentes, Richard Spencer, Matt Walsh, or Alex Jones never said that sort of stuff? I’d be shocked if none have. I’ve seen Walsh and Fuentes say unhinged insanity and call for the persecution if not death of some marginalized groups.
- ModernMech 4y agoYes they do; the phrase was coined by Richard Spencer. They even had a website: AlternativeRight.com
