Hooey and Phooey from John C. Wright

Hooey and Phooey by John C Wright in which he criticizes the alt-right. And a response by Vox Day Safe as houses in which he defends Wright’s competence as an author despite their political differences. The problem is Mr. Wright puts himself on a moral high ground of infallibility…by not taking stance, he can avoid… Continue reading Hooey and Phooey from John C. Wright

Alt Right: Consumerism, Crony Capitalism, and Immigration

I’m sure everyone has seen the alt-right ‘mural‘ of the various things that the alt-right supports and supposes. A few observations: I’m kinda surprised by how it ‘strongly opposes’ SJWs but only ‘moderately opposes’ SJW-media. Also surprised that it only has ‘minor opposition’ to crony capitalism and excess consumerism, which I actually agree. Consumerism, although… Continue reading Alt Right: Consumerism, Crony Capitalism, and Immigration

Alt-Right and Internet Journalism

‘The Media’ is the medium (TV, radio, internet, etc.) through which information is transferred from its producers to consumers.

The ‘alt right’ can include rationalists and pacifists (rejection… Continue reading Alt-Right: Classifications and Significance

Vox Explains the ‘Alt Right’

Vox.com explains the ‘alt right’. In agreement with posts I wrote in 2014, elements of the ‘alt right’, including NRx and HBD, are starting to gain more mainstream appeal, as evidenced by Vox.com, a mainstream online news source, expose on the ‘alt right’, replete with all the usual characters like Moldbug and Land. This also… Continue reading Vox Explains the ‘Alt Right’

Millennials leading the alt-right

The Current Chapter There are some positive things to be said for sure about a young, energetic, tech-savvy identitarian movement: Ability to hijack online culture and force the mainstream to pay some attention to long suppressed racialist ideas.
