RE: Schism in the alt right
I don't like "Alt-Lite". The only "lite" I want to be associated with is Keystone Light.
I prefer "Alt-West", or "New Right".
The following are some stream of consciousness thoughts. Being non-white, and an immigrant naturalized citizen of the US, I may just be rationalizing to preserve my own self interest.
The "Alt-White" is flawed when it comes to their vision for the USA, but not necessarily when it comes to Europe.
It is correct to try to keep the USA culturally homogeneous (or at 80/90%) but not ethnically so. In Europe the ethnic philosophy makes more sense because that is the traditional homeland of the "White People".
Yes, it is true that the Europeans conquered America - there was a fight and the natives lost. However, even though the USA may have been built by white people, and you can say it was built to be for white people, that's not what the Constitution says. Even many centuries ago non-whites were made into Christians and "civilized" to be then accepted into society, because culturally they assimilated. If you are comprehensively against invaders, and for returning lands to their native people, then white people should also leave the USA. If you are against ethnic invaders in Europe, you should go back to Europe too. You can't have it both ways. (You are allowed to be against muslim invaders, however, because that is cultural and ideological exclusion, not race based).
You are even allowed to be against "race mixing" without being a hypocrite. Conservative Indian families are extremely protective of "race mixing". I know my own family is. (Personally I don't care, evidenced by the fact that I'm a member of this forum - but my family doesn't know my views.)
Now you can have the argument that non-white people can never be "civilized" or assimilate - 'Race Realist' argument. Well, then all you still have to do is have a cultural barrier for membership into the USA and only the "right" races will be included. If "unwanted" races end up entering through this barrier, then your base premise was wrong to begin with.
Anyway, it seems very clear to me that Spencer either committed a huge error (didn't recognize the bait as he was suddenly taken off the media blackout list) or is indeed colluding. The problem is that any kind of extreme race based identity politics in the USA comes off as insecure and doesn't maximize your economic utility functions to begin with - it simply isn't logical. Culture/ideology based identity politics doesn't necessarily have this deficiency. Allowing weak minded and insecure individuals to be part of your movement will ensure that your movement fails. Diversity+Proximity = War is more true with culture today than it is with race. A white Islamist, a white Christian, and a white feminist are more likely to fight, and have fewer things in common, than me (brown), a black forum member, and a white forum member.
So bigger picture, this hurts us a bit short term since the media and regular anti Trump people are saying "see this is exactly what we feared, Trump is a Nazi". But long term, who cares. They have been calling us all Nazis for a while now. Trump is going to be a great President, and the Nazi Tourette's is all they will have.
Ofcourse, this opens the door for false flags, or actual hate crimes by one or two dumbcunts. If you are dumb enough to do Seig Heil's in front of the media, you may be dumb enough to be baited into an actual crime. Remember that college students can already be expelled and get into serious trouble for doing this stuff. Something like that would be a bigger problem. I was surprised a few days ago - surprised for the first time by something in a very long time - by how many 1488 types there were in the Alt Right. Mike received more hate for that Periscope than he did from the Hillary people during the worst of the campaign. These people have fucking turned on Ramzpaul!
