"Keep clear of the dupes that talk democracy,
And the dogs that bark revolution.
Drunk with talk, liars and believers.
I believe in my tusks. Long live freedom and damn the ideologies!"
(Robinson Jeffers)
The alt-right is the right’s Billy Carter, our Roger Clinton, our Onyango Obama. You know you share a little DNA, but damn, they just ain’t right in the head.
This presumes a definition of "alt-right" that a preponderance of those who've adopted the label would agree on. At this time there is no such definition. There might never be one...but isn't that also true for "liberal" and "conservative?"
It also ignores reality, in that the self-proclaimed "alt-right" are agitating for *collectivism* -- that is, they *call* themselves rightists, but they're actually leftists.
