So the leading figures in the alt. right would appear to be:

-Chuck C. Johnson
-Gavin McInnes
-Steven Crowder
-Ben Shapiro

There's an imgur link somewhere in this thread, political emails, or Aug USPol that was a bunch of concern trolling about how liberals aren't open to being challenged by new ideas. It's basically a list of alt right shitheads. If i wasn't on my phone I would search for it.

Nah Walsh is just a younger, more social media savvy version of the hyper-moralizing traditional religious right assholes. I mean he definitely hates feminists, is openly hostile towards black people and doesn't bother dogwhistling but I don't think he'd ever drop a pepe meme about cucking

Matt Walsh works for Glenn Beck and should be grouped with him. They're both right-wingers who tried to repackage 80s conservativism into the 21st Century: Walsh is the religious right; Beck is the Limbaugh radio jock. I really wonder if Beck didn't have whatever's wrong with him, if he could have become a real movement leader behind Cruz.

Beck is a convert to Mormonism. Mormons don't really do the generalized or specific Satanic Panic as a result of their history and position as demonic intruders within the church-feudings of Middle America. As a convert though, Beck feels he has to spiritual warfare harder than the hardest born Baptist to pay back the perfect little faith that saved him from himself. He doesn't seem to get ethnic mormonism, but his family does. And as a recovering addict, he can totally fake sincerity. The problem with conjuring sincere emotional sentiment from nothing is that you just mind-hosed yourself to believe the poo poo you're saying.

In all likelihood, if Beck hadn't partied too hard for himself, he'd just be a Bill Maheresque old white liberal. Maybe that's too harsh, but he wouldn't be a conservative, is what I'm getting at.

Even if he's not, the series is pretty fascist. It's evolved into a story about a corrupt civilian government that can't do anything right and a glorious, noble military fighting for the people.

I've heard this several times and it seems like a really shallow read of the material.

We have to remember that we're viewing the story through the POV of young military cadets who's lives have been ruined by inhuman monsters in various horrific ways, experiencing their first taste of power by selling their souls to a military complex that's an absolute, unabashed meat-grinder. During their initiation their commander literally sells them on the Survey Corps by promising that most of them will die horribly, and the ones that remain might live a bit longer still. The facade of military service as a romantic ideal starts slipping rapidly once these kids actually get into the thick of it. By the current point of the manga it's something they tell themselves to remain sane more than anything. At the end of the day AoT is as nihilistic a narrative as they come. It doesn't romanticize anything, and goes out of its way to paint duty and obligation to one's state in the most grim context possible.

I think people just see kids with vaguely Germanic names doing intense salutes and assume the worst.

It's the extremely tragic tale of the shithead who hates minorities and wants to find friends in fellow shitheads, only to sadly find that they are one of the aforementioned hated minorities.

a Shakespearean tragedy

The impulse to hate the 'other' is something that happens in every group of people.

A lot of people who feel that way believe hatred of an 'other' will win them kinship with other people acting on that impulse.

Nah, it's just your run of the mill alt-righter posing as a liberal (or suffering a huge misunderstanding of what modern liberalism is) so he can argue from a position of authority. Kind of like how the right loves when Bill Cosby calls blacks lazy.

I count them because they seem to run within the same circles.

Milo has been around Crowder/Shapiro before (despite a falling out), but they all seem to be under the same sort of breitbart model. I almost want to put Gutfield in that list, but I get the vibe he's really just a Penn Jillette-style libertarian, but is hamming it up for Fox News because of the money.

Andrew Breitbart was the founder of this movement, period. He probably inspired and helped fund this army of shitheads.

Let's add James O'Keefe to the list too.

Huey Long was one of his associates, and Long was not a Coughlinite, but lefties today have some weird reverence for him which I don't understand. Communists, trade unionists and radical leftists at that time saw Long as a fascist, and his economic policies had a lot in common with European corporatism which was all about "class collaboration" through state interventions in the economy -- and by that I mean the Kingfish's personal decrees as governor of Louisiana and not concessions from business made because of pressure by organized workers. Let alone worker control.

If we get another Long -- watch out.

American Lefties are used to being likened to Nazis. Look at every time their enemies equate tax hikes to the Holocaust or criticism of the rich to the Holocaust, or Gender Studies and Queer Liberation to yes, the loving Holocaust. In a world of constant, unending Godwinning past the point of Fascism ever having had any meaning other than "I consider this thing to be so ungood it's beyond the pale, just like a historical villain we share a dislike of!", well, it's easy to get confused about who exactly Huey Long was.

Also, fascists who used [fringe political movement of the post-WWII era] as a shield for their fascism were also confused, so when you have white supremacist goldbuggers talking about Long as a puppet of the big conspiracy-

White politics are just all confusion at the moment, and we're waiting for the opening stages of whatever the gently caress this is to be over with so we know what it is we're dealing with.

The side effect is that any time someone actually brings up legitimate concerns of fascism, you're met with "EVERYONE WHO DOESN'T AGREE WITH YOU MUST BE HITLER" and accusations that if fascism /must/ be a left wing thing, therefore Trump can't be fascist :smug:.
