How dare the minority in education start organizing for equal rights! Those alt-right incels wanting equal rights are such radicals!

…wait, what?

I think people are underestimating the bias of their own tribe and that many people are “de-programming” from radical leftwing ideas (eg, systemic racism against Asians or systemic misandry in education) by finding content which exposes inconsistencies in those narratives and points out their underlying bigoted nature.

When you’re part of a cult, you start accusing everyone of being “alt right” when they leave.

It doesn't take a huge amount of effort to find actual Nazis trying to use those communities as a recruiting ground, but trying to blame Jordan Peterson for that is insane and counterproductive.

Recruitment to a group led by an Afro-Cuban that opposed the organized street violence across our nation, from over a billion dollars in arson damage to dozens of murders (including Antonio Mays Jr and David Dorne)?!?!?

Say it isn’t so!

Alex Jones is nuts but also not part of the alt right. McInness might be tangentially related.

I'm saying this as someone who spends a lot of time in far right spaces. These people are only ever made fun of, same with Ben Shapiro and TPUSA.

Most of the major people at this point are anonymous.

If we're willing to extend amnesty to AT&T we should extend it to individuals.
