Post-Scriptum: I must express my deepest gratitude to the Soylentil who sees fit to gift a subscription to me, since I am not able to contribute to SN, even though I almost never agree with my benefactor. We need more Soylenils like that.

    Good point, Sulla. What interested me is the fracturing of the alt-right, which seems to be a Kirk/Fuentes thing emanating from Shapiro, and not at all related to Spencer or Milo, or the Idiot of Charlottesville.

      Except there's no fracturing going on. The alt-right hate Trump, have always hated Trump, continue to hate Trump.

      Jr. is seen as a relatively easy to get to target for anyone that hates his dad, as he not only doesn't repudiate his dad but endorses and supports him.

      "emanating from Shapiro"

      Wait, wait, you are seriously arguing that the "white nationalist" "alt-right" movement "emanat"(es) from an Orthodox Jew?

      Doesn't that make *you* literally Hitler? Someone fact-check me, I'm pretty sure the old pederast just confessed to being literally Hitler.

      Antisemitism isn't just a river in Egypt you know.

      "and not at all related to Spencer or Milo"

      Well you're half-right there at least.

        Anyone can be alt-right. Even Orthodox Jews, Uncle Toms, or Greek Philosophers.

        More specifically, anyone who disagrees with me is either alt-right, a русский asset, or both. It depends on the political zeitgeist of the particular microsecond.

          "Anyone can be alt-right."

          No sir. Not true. There are quite a few of us that are explicitly excluded.

          You can't be US alt-right and not credibly claim to be 'white.' You can't even be a footsoldier for that crowd if you present as /diverse/.

          "A Ruskie asset"

          At this point I've decided that's a badge of honor. If the Rep. from Hawaii doesn't get the DNC nomination I say we replace them with the Ruskie party.

          Cause fuck Senator McCarthy. And his followers.

          "It depends on the political zeitgeist of the particular microsecond."

          So you be ridin' dirty eh?

        Confirmed. I just read it on the internet. It must be true.

      An undefinable group of trolls with no leadership is fracturing. We have to tell the world about this momentous event.

    I think the publisher of his new book cares.
