This is why companies like Facebook and Twitter, despite their claims to democratize the national conversation, are becoming more egregiously partisan, blocking any conversation they deem against the globalist agenda. But while they hailed this as a new era of equality, where anyone can talk to anyone, they also ingratiated themselves to all that was stale and old in our society: Hollywood, the recording industry, governments seeking to promote globalist agendas. Now the Internet billionaires also ushered in an entirely new era – the era of decentralized communications. One need not look very far to see this tendency in all sorts of stale politics: transgender/LGBT politics, the GMO and anti-Vaccine craze, blaming a fictional past on all our woes, white guilt and the weird way it warps racial politics. All the wealthiest benefactors of internet wealth live up there, a living contradiction of both being The Man and being Against The Man. The fact that the anti-vaccine craze has its center in Marin county should come as a surprise to nobody. But it is a heritage that keeps sticking to staler and staler ghosts of its rebel past. Thus Silicon Valley, which is now said to rival Wall Street itself in pure capital power, also has the heritage of the 60s. With this creep into established society, they have also crept into Silicon Valley and the helm of the Internet. Ever since the 60s, the baby boomer generation has held the mantle of “anti-society” and has taken their attitudes all the way to the major parties and the corporate boardrooms. It is high time that the Alt Right should openly, in the face of the whole internet, publish their view, their aims, their tendencies, and meet this nursery tale of the Spectre of Alt Right with a manifesto of the internet tendency itself.Ĭommoners continuously have fought for their own voice in our society, only to have their opinions coopted by established voices who quickly sold them out as they became valuable enough to do so.Īnd this history of the last twenty years has manifested itself in the history of the Internet.Alt Right is already acknlowledged by all Internet powers to be itself a power.Where is the outspoken Tweeter that has not been decried as Alt Right by a verified Twitter account? Where is both the college radical and the government official that has not hurled back the branding reproach of “Alt Right”? All the powers of the Internet have entered into a holy alliance to exorcise thie spectre: Government and Facebook, Buzzfeed and the clickbait mob, Democrats and Republicans. I do hope you enjoy it, and get something out of it.Ī spectre is haunting the Internet – the spectre of Alt Right. Today it’s more appropriately known as “red pilled.” As such, this is a great historical piece, that shows how our society has evolved in the last four years, and why so many people are fleeing the Democratic Party.
At the time of writing this article, “Alt Right” was a term used by former liberals like myself, enthusiasts of alternative culture, who were getting disillusioned with the established left. NOTE: this article was originally published in July 2016, two months before Hillary Clinton made Richard Spencer famous, and gave the term its white nationalist meaning.
