White Nationalists Salute the President-Elect: "Hail Trump!" - The Atlantic



“Hail Trump, hail our people, hail victory!”

That’s how Richard B. Spencer saluted more than 200 attendees on Saturday, gathered at the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington, D.C., for the annual conference of the National Policy Institute, which describes itself as “an independent organization dedicated to the heritage, identity, and future of people of European descent in the United States, and around the world.”

Spencer rose and delivered a speech to his followers dripping with anti-Semitism, and leaving no doubt as to what he actually seeks. He referred to the mainstream media as “Lügenpresse,” a term he said he was borrowing from “the original German”; the Nazis used the word to attack their critics in the press.

This is the alt-right. Richard Spencer is the guy who originally coined the term.

My 'favorite' line (not yet clear if he's talking about leftists or jews) from the video:

Richard Spencer said:
One wonders if these people are people at all, or instead soulless golems animated by some dark power

The video contains excerpts from a documentary that will be released in December.

When we talk about Steve Bannon, the ex-chair of Breitbart and our new chief strategist, acting as a platform for the alt-right (something he has no problem admitting) these are the kind of people that we are talking about him hosting.

The below quote from Steve was at an interview at the RNC convention - How Donald Trump's New Campaign Chief Created an Online Haven for White Nationalists | Mother Jones
Steve Bannon said:
We’re the platform for the alt-right [...] Look, are there some people that are white nationalists that are attracted to some of the philosophies of the alt-right? Maybe. Are there some people that are anti-Semitic that are attracted? Maybe. Right? Maybe some people are attracted to the alt-right that are homophobes, right?

So a few questions for the thread:

Should Trump denounce this portion of his support?
Should Trump continue to appoint people to key positions who have had a hand in providing platform to these people?
Are these people deplorable?

Ooops, I missed that.

Oh well, at least it might get a little more exposure if it's here aswell.

I usually post in both threads when that happens. More often than not, the two threads diverge a bit and carry on with separate arguments.

This one though....it probably only has one vein. Ugly.
 
At 2:43 in the video there in the orange shirt is what scares the hell out of me about these neo-nazis. Love that during this little pep rally for idiots the biggest tub of lard waddles in front of the camera....lol
 
If Breitbart is the platform for the alt-right then why would these guys be associated with it? If I am not mistaken Breitbart is largely Jewish and Pro-Isreal which would seem at odds with anti-Semitism
 
Stay tuned to future episodes to find out if Matthew Heimbach visits the Trump White House.

Breitbart isn't really Jewish at all. One of their headlines was "Bill Kristol: Republican spoiler, renegade Jew". Steve Bannon, the editor, has admitted that the alt right movement attracts anti-semites.

I have to be honest I know next to nothing about Breitbart and the alt-right movement. I just Googled Andrew Breitbart who was jewish and he stated that Breitbart was about Pro-Freedom and Pro-Isreal.

The only people I heard of with connections to Breitbart were youtube videos of Ben Shapiro (jewish, formerly of Breitbart) and Milo (also jewish).

I never bothered to go to the site so I have no clue about what articles are there, I just think the Ben and Milo youtube videos are hilarious.

Andrew Breitbart died a while ago, and there was an exodus of quite a few Breitbart staffers (inc Shapiro) when the website came under new management, with them citing the website going in a different direction to its original mission.

The Alt-Right is the fault of playing identity politics for so long. It is inevitable that straight white men would form their own racial identity movement.

This isn't going away anytime soon.

Yeah it's progressive's fault that people are white supremacists

:roll:

I think you'll find they've been around a lot longer than identity politics.

Ah, I have to admit it has been confusing the heck out of me since the whole Bannon guy was labeled as anti-Semitic. It just never made much sense to me considering his background. So I have been having a hard time believing much of these articles. The media has turned into an absolute joke, watch MSNBC and the world is ending. Turn on Fox and everything is right in the world. I am to the point now I just get my news from here and read the arguments to figure out which seems more credible.

It's their fault that they are being legitimized. You think people voted for trump in record numbers because they are all racist?

Call people names it's all you have. Your finished, now we have to live with these monsters you made.

Every identity gets a voice except the white straight males.

Read Rules for radicals. This is textbook only a willfully blind brainwashed dullard wouldn't see it.
 
For most of the day, a parade of speakers discussed their ideology in relatively anodyne terms, putting a presentable face on their agenda. But after dinner, when most journalists had already departed, Spencer rose and delivered a speech to his followers dripping with anti-Semitism, and leaving no doubt as to what he actually seeks. He referred to the mainstream media as “Lügenpresse,” a term he said he was borrowing from “the original German”; the Nazis used the word to attack their critics in the press.

“America was until this past generation a white country designed for ourselves and our posterity,” Spencer said. “It is our creation, it is our inheritance, and it belongs to us.”

The audience offered cheers, applause, and enthusiastic Nazi salutes.

The video was titled "Video of an alt-right conference."

Okay, media, intervention time. When a bunch of white people get together, use the Nazi salute, use antisemitic language and speak using original German Nazi phrases, you're no longer bound by the constraints of trying to appear reasonable by using the term "alt-right." You're allowed to call them Nazis.

No. Anyone who hates anyone else so much that they legitimize and cast their lot in with neo-Nazis has dustballs rattling around in their skull where their brain should be.

It is a little too early to tell on this in my opinion. The truth will be told in 4 years if he gets reelected. I personally didn't vote because I couldn't bring myself to vote for either. Had I been forced to then I would have definitely voted Trump over Hillary. We will see what happens when the Democrats have a decent candidate. I think that will be when we see how much of it was for Trump rather than against Hillary.

Practically the only voices that I hear are from straight white males. The disgusting creatures in the video are the offspring of hate and have been nurtured by those that wish to use that hate to gain power. It is a game as old as mankind and those that can't see that are the dangerous ones. The tyranny of hate is like no other.

The democrats will have to change tactics. They have progressivly lost ground over the past decade.

I'm willing to bet barring any tragedy Trump gets elected for a second term.

I'm willing to bet also that the "alt right" will continue to grow in influence. We have never heard from this Richard Spencer clown before. The "alt right" is a tiny group. It's existed on the fringe for decades in various manifestations. But now they have taken center stage.

It's Marxist against Marxist arguing about which version is better.

This is the folly of identity politics.

Just another "Trump is just like Hitler" post....
Nothing to see here, that has not been completely refuted a hundred times before.

The "Heil Trumpers" are Washington in double their numbers because of Trump/Bannon and that is so obvious that only a loon could not see that. Tapping into hate is part of their plan. These are loyal followers of the cause and have value. Those that discount these things are often unwitting partners so beware.
