Considering how common it is for members of the alt-right to declare conservativism dead, and to actively harm the causes of other right wingers by jumping in with their exceptionalism, displaying fascist and white supremacist symbols at rallies, etc, in a blatant redirecting of focus to their own attention whoring that often sinks whatever the original cause was as they provide the left wing media with a propaganda feast, the alt-right is the last group that should whine about betrayal by other people who are nominally on their side.Vox is right. Gatekeepers are awful. They're the ones who will both betray you to The Left and land the final killing blow to The Right. You seem not to like Vox criticizing other "Rightwingers" and others say Vox is jealous. He's not. He doesn't go after Tucker Carlson or Ann Coulter. He goes after Gatekeepers who are the greatest threat to The Right.
See: Charlottesville
How well did the alt-right help keep up those Civil War monuments, huh? That was a PR wet dream for the people who wanted them torn down. But of course the alt-right's response anytime shit like this happens is "It would've happened anyway." Bullshit. There's been controversy over shit like Confederate monuments and the Washington Redskins since the 60's. The alt-right is very effective at getting shit done in politics. For the left.
The alt-right has made it perfectly clear that their relationship with conservatism, libertarianism, civic nationalism, and other more mainstream right wing groups is entirely parasitic. They provide nothing and only take. They weaken and feed off these groups, harming their ability to actually get anything done in the political sphere, and practicing accelerationalism, handing the left victories in the active hope of making things worse so that more people will be radicalized to them in hopes of a real life
The alt-right has no leg to stand on whining about "betrayal" when they routinely destroy right wing causes/platforms/etc for the purpose of getting a handful of new recruits to their autism brigade.
