What's the deal with the Alt-Right?

From what I see Richard Spencer is becoming a National Bolshevik similar to Tom Metzger (who thinks Hitler made a huge mistake not being best buddies with Stalin).

I did. Hence why I said loose coalition. Unity in opposition. A similar phenomenon happened in the '80s when neoconservative Christians marched hand-in-hand with radical feminists in their moral condemnation of pornography. For wholly different reasons, both sides aimed for the proscription of porn by all means possible.

Likewise, you have mutually hostile groups in the alt-right marching hand-in-hand in their shared opposition to whatever ails them.


Indeed.

It all depends on which segment of the manosphere we're talking about, but if we're talking about the "old school" MRAs (Paul Elam, Warren Farrell, et cetera), most of those guys aren't engaged with the alt-right at all. In fact, I recall seeing on their forums several self-identified Marxists as resident posters. It's also rather instructive since most of those movers and shakers were former feminists. Ergo, they're more a "men's civil rights group" than part of the alt-right.

Other parts of the manosphere hate other segments of the alt-right. Here we have Common Filth and Davis M.J. Aurini shitting on Richard Spencer for an hour here.

gr8 poast mate. The alt-right is only really united in what they're against (neocons, neolibs, marxists/socialists, feminism, etc.), which makes them very factional since they're not consistently for anything. Wouldn't classify CF as manosphere though, he's more of an NRx/traditionalist guy (a new, growing faction).

These divisions coupled with the alt-right's anonymous, intangible, internet-based nature are why it will never become a proper IRL political party like Richard Spencer wants it to. Spencer has baggage (gay stuff, his SWPL tendencies, being a cringy larper, possible pyramid scheme with PHALANX), but even if he didn't he couldn't make it happen. He's only really liked by the TRS esoteric Hitlerist set, and CF/Aurini are hardly his only critics.

Take it up with Richard Spencer fam, he likes taking credit for coming up with it after all.

Go on one of his aryan bodybuilding retreats and you'll do lots of "coming up" together
