Honestly I think they've been there for a bit. The alt-lite kids, who seemed to serve as the cannon fodder / park filler / goomba force for the big boys have greatly, greatly thinned out after Cville. The only substantial fascist rallies that I can think of after then have been TWP stuff like Pikeville.

So the Alt-Right is now like 10k people. Gotcha.

Cville and Spencer really killed their little movement.

TWP seems like the most disciplined and dangerous of all of these groups. Dangerous at least in the sense that tangling with them at a protest carries more risks than others -- a lot more. But the reason they have that reputation is the same reason a lot of the 4chan kiddies won't join up with them.

Heimbach is also pretty well read and the group has ... ideological direction? It's Strasserism, Third Position stuff. Duganism. The thing is, he looks like a goober and that matters a lot to this audience, who are horribly vain and shallow. The #1 complaint I read about them from the far-right is that Heimbach is too fat. Really.

Then they vote for Trump who is the fattest president since Taft.

TWP are the closest to actual boneheads. The rest are rich kids larping Nazi. Soft as gently caress and it shows.

They used to call him HAMBACK, and hate him because he's poor and fat.

They are like an oxygen starved fire at the moment. If a fresh burst of oxygen hits the smoldering fuel source things can reignite very quickly. Although the damage done to them is real I feel this thread may be underestimating how easily we could return to pre Cville levels of activity under the right circumstances.

There's a few issues hamstringing them. #1 is Cville, #2 is Richard Spencer. Cville was supposed to be his Beerhall Putsch but instead he came off like a bitch and instead of creating a martyr they created a murderer.

But you're right; we have to stay vigilant. Fascism is in the air, and although it may not take root in the USA, it is really starting to pick up steam in Europe.

I have some friends in various internet fandom scenes and over the past few months I've gotten the impression that cryptofascist activity has increased, so I'm thinking a lot of the softer alt-reich boys just changed where they spend most of their online time because they've lost access to a lot of their online spaces

I wonder how many of these guys have been truly scared off, versus how many of them have just gone crypto

Can't post for 45 minutes!
the alt lite spreading out and joining other communities is a sign that their movement is weakening, not spreading. they don’t actually want to work for a fascist state, they’re LARPers who love freaking out the normies by being edgy. maybe they wish that someone would come along and make America white again but passively supporting trump is the closest they’re gonna get to that. when poo poo got too real for them they retreated to their comfort zone. which is racial slurs in the YouTube comments section and threads about a white ethnostate on the ign forums.

I don't think it's that clear cut - clearly, some have radicalized even further, yet maybe others will feel that they're in too deep, and quietly slink away. But what's the split? You can't rightly say you're sure, and I don't think anyone else can. BUT I do feel that outright nazism has been normalized to a degree it wasn't just 2 years ago, and that's a massive sea change.

This is just strait up lying to yourself. Sorry but this simply is not how extremists function. The exact opposite actually. When extremists are forced to exist only in their own segregated echo chambers is when you know their movement is dying out. If they are going out to other communities and still retaining their identity as extremists that means they are expanding.
