lol aggie nazi rally was canceled cus literally no student org was willing to endorse them

"Texas A&M changed its policy after December’s protests so that no outside individual or group could reserve campus facilities without the sponsorship of a university-sanctioned group. None of the 1200-plus campus organizations invited Preston Wiginton nor did they agree to sponsor his events in December 2016 or on September 11 of this year."

To everyone saying "The Alt-Right is done", I suspect you underestimate how deep in the tank most of these people are. There is a portion of the internet trained to hate "The Enemy" --- the "SJWs", the "Progressives", the Anita Sarkeeseans, and the rally won't change that. From what I've seen, they're actually just blaming the entire rally on SJWs n' poo poo, and, considering I've been getting angry PMs on Discord telling me that "THERE'S BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS, PROGRESSIVE", well...

They're saying that because their only path forward is to become more insular and disconnected from reality. If they can't organize in public and can't relate to normal people, then their movement dies.

Let them hide in their lovely internet holes or come out and get smashed. Either option is perfectly fine with me, though if they decided that mass suicide was the best way forward I wouldn't object.

I think most people are more relieved plus pleasantly surprised that a major organizing event for various factions of right wing extremists has backfired and sent them tumbling back onto their asses

it's saddening and angering that someone was murdered by a neo-nazi terrorist in the process but that doesn't lessen my relief that their movement has suffered a major setback

There is no sadder indictment of American society than the fact that a very large portion of the alt-right had their political awakening as a result of someone trying to mess with their video games. They became neo-nazis over toys.

This however, this is v good:

I dunno; I really do think they're just going to rebrand and continue trying to grow on the internet. I've just seen too many internet friends and real-life students of mine infected by their ideologies to think it's over.

For now, in the physical world, they're done, I agree there.

The alt-right's power had come from its imagery of transgression. As stupid as "we're the new punk" sounds, it kinda makes sense, from the perspective of an alt-righter. They are all about deflating what they perceive to be prissy schoolmarmery from martinets. Their lack of a coherent positive vision - what does society look like if /pol/ wins? - had been a temporary advantage: they saw themselves as jesters, not technocrats.

That all goes away once the alt-right reveals itself to be an even more disorganized, immature version of the same stuff that David Duke had already been selling. Not transgressive anymore, just easily-categorized overt racism. It had been edgy for the alt-right to "name the Jew" and whatnot, but it doesn't work the other way around. Without the alt-right's temporarily fresh appearance, David Duke is as irrelevant as he ever was.

The other thing about punk is that it was pure aesthetics that never accomplished anything political and was immediately co-opted.

Exploration is ill-advised.
That and they'd been mostly enraged by obnoxious centrists, they literally had no idea what a modern leftist looks like until now (despite labelling literally everything they disagree with as 'Marxism'). See their complete bafflement at discovering the IWW exists. Leftists were supposed to be prissy, fragile snowflakes, antifa were empty anarchists, they didn't have any idea that people were actually uniting against them to protect the people they think everyone else secretly agrees should be genocided.

yeah ever since the alt-right coalesced out of the various types of sludge slurping through the sewers of the internet they've been telling themselves they are the strongest, the smartest, the bravest, the most intelligent, best educated

so obviously everyone else must be weaker than them, but these guys in reality are the kind of guys who need half a roll of toilet paper to wipe their rear end and have an emotional crisis when they see a woman character in a video game

when they go to their rallies and face real opposition and possibly even for the first time in their lives feel real fear or even feel real pain it ends up stripping away a lot of cruft from the movement as kids get their world shaken and need to retreat to their safe spaces

This is the big one imo

The right in general has fallen into the same trap as the center by completely forgetting what the actual left looks like. They're used to screaming slurs only to cause caniption fits and have people run away from them screaming RACIST. Now they're getting beaten up instead.

The alt right as a transgressive movement can only exist in response to spineless centrism. Now that the wolf of actual radical leftists is at their doorstep they don't know how to handle themselves
