What is the Alt Right? 109
At last a new Right is boldly confronting the too victorious Left.
The Left, shocked and scared, resorts of course to calling it racist and Nazi (though Nazism was a socialist movement) and likening it to the KKK (which was a wholly Democratic movement).
In this late August 2016 recording of a BBC radio discussion, Milo Yiannopoulos, opposed by a confused and shrill Cathy Young, gets to explain in a few words – after 14.30 minutes – what the Alt Right is really all about.
We too reject identity politics as “insane and absurd”, and embrace “freedom of speech, libertarianism and free intellectual enquiry“.
The Left’s attack on white men is absurd and insane.
With Milo, we praise Western civilization and the dead and living men who have made it great. Their color, nationality, or descent is irrelevant, but since we are compelled to take notice of the identity politics of the Left, yes, we acknowledge that most of them have been white.
(As a matter of taste, we regret Milo’s praise of Richard Wagner. And as a matter of principle, we disregard his mention of Pat Buchanan.)
Political correctness – the Left’s lock on our lips – is struck away by the Alt Right. As Milo puts it, “The unsayable is sayable again.”
Enough to get the blood boiling 78
Milo explodes – with good reason – at one who says he will vote for Hillary.
Agreeing and not agreeing with Milo 23
Milo Yiannopoulos on Trump:
We don’t entirely share his views on Marco Rubio, but with everything else he says here we heartily agree.
But here he rants against atheists – only reason given, they have no sense of style. More of this conversation is taken up with his disgust with fellow male homosexuals (“Lesbians don’t exist,” he says) who are unkind to Christians:
Needless to say, we don’t agree with him at all about atheists and atheism, but we find what he says, as always, entertaining.
None of us here at The Atheist Conservative, by the way, looks or dresses or behaves the way he describes the appearance and behavior of his typical atheist. But we all laugh with him at the picture he draws.
Milo is a Jewish Catholic.
